What is the difference between:

this.event close ()
close (this)

(written on an event eg: postretrive)

 

I notice that:
- the first executes the event script, but does not close the window
- the second runs the script and closes the window

Because ?

thanks in advance for the answers

Hi, Gimmy - 

This.Event Close() triggers (executes) the Close event script only in response to the object containing the Close event to having been closed. It does not initiate any action unless the code in the script tell PB to take some action. This example executes the script without any action having been requested or initiated.

Close(this) is a PowerScript function that closes the object that is executing the function. In other words, it initiates an action whereas the Close event script gets executed in response to the Close action having been initiated.

HTH

Regards, John

The Close function triggers the Close event and then closes the window. Event.Close() triggers the event but does not close the window.
