Paging Pre-Display |

Paging Pre-Display is a prerequisite of the Active Paging functionality. It ensures that the first page of data in a Paging Cycle appears according to the current selection criteria, and remains visible when you move between the Flat Cycle and nested Paging Cycle. This is achieved by using the LSCALL( ) Logic Verb, and you can decide where the Pre-Display occurs rather than it being fixed to a particular point in the timing cycle. After the Pre-Display happens, the control is returned to the calling logic and the focus does not move. Furthermore, the Paging Cycle's events points are processed as normal and you can decide which data appears, and which is not.
Enabling Paging Pre-Display
This functionality is enabled by the Active Paging check box on the Paging tab on the ManyTime Paging Screen Cycle Properties window.

This behaviour is only available from a Flat ManyTime Cycle and pre-displays only one nested Paging Cycle. To maintain the behaviour of existing screens, the Pre-Display behaviour only works if the Paging Cycle has the Active Paging property set.

Note: The Paging Cycle must allow Lookup Mode for the Pre-Display to work successfully. |
