Callbacks Supported by HI Forms and Fields

In HI forms, you can define callbacks for the OK and Cancel buttons, customized callbacks in ?buttonLayout, and mapCallback. In HI fields, the most common callback is the common value change callback (?callback). However, there are 22 different types of HI fields and you can define callbacks to handle different events for these fields. For example, for the type-in fields you can define the ?modifyCallback and ?focusInCallback. For report and tree fields, you can define callbacks to handle pointer events.

The following table lists the various callbacks supported by HI forms and fields:
