NeedChangeControlStatus( control, action, found )
| NeedChangeControlStatus | Examines the conditions under which the hidden or disabled status of control needs to change and returns information about whether the change is needed now. |
| control | A numeric constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that contains a field equate value. |
| action | A numeric constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression that indicates the action to be taken with respect to this control when a rule is broken, defined as follows: |
| RuleAction:None | EQUATE(0) |
| RuleAction:Hide | EQUATE(1) |
| RuleAction:UnHide | EQUATE(2) |
| RuleAction:Disable | EQUATE(3) |
| RuleAction:Enable | EQUATE(4) |
| found | A numeric variable which will be updated with an action code. |
The NeedChangeControlStatus method returns True if the status of control needs to change, False if not. On return, the found variable is set to the action that needs to be taken.

lActionExist = RuleAction:None
lChange = SELF.NeedChangeControlStatus(pControlFeq,pAction,lActionExist)
IF lActionExist<;>pAction THEN RETURN.
