Design control event procedure - Check box
Activity Flow

For a check box, you can also define the control event procedure. A control event procedure has one or more actions that are done when the check box is cleared or selected.

Designer Designer Developer Developer Start Start Is an action required,  other than the  predefined actions? Is an action required,  other than the  predefined actions? Inform the developer on the action class to be developed Inform the developer on the action class to be developed Develop action class Develop action class You can use an action on an event procedure. If the event occurs, the action is done. For an action, a class is required. To develop this class, extend the DAWActionRun class. A set of predefined action classes is available: Back (DAWActionRunReturnFrom) - Goes back to the previous form in the form stack of the user session. Note: This action can only be used for the On button clicked event procedure. Note: This action starts the On reactivate event procedure of the previous form, if defined.Form (DAWActionRunPage) - Opens a form as defined for the application in Mobility studio. Note: This action starts the On deactivate event procedure of the form that was open, if defined. Logout (DAWActionRunLogout) - Logs the user out of the current user session. This session is removed from the active sessions list. Note: This action can only be used for the On button clicked event procedure.
