Events and actions supported by form and basic controls

Form/ Form controls Event supported Actions supported

Form

  1. Loaded

  2. Before render

  3. After render

  • When using these events in a form, make sure that they are fired in the following order: Loaded, Before render, After render.

  • When loading forms from the cache, that is when form caching is turned on, the AfterRender and BeforeRender event types are not executed. If form caching is turned off, they are executed each time the form is loaded.

Capture activity forms operate differently from other form types in how they render. This is due to the ThinClient control, which requires that the onLoad actions are complete before the control can fully render itself. So even though the Before render or After render events may have triggered on the containing form, the form itself may not have been rendered to the required state.

For best practices on form loading events, see "Form loading events" in Kofax TotalAgility Best Practices Guide.

When a form fails to load, an error lists the reason for failure, such as the name of the event that failed to trigger upon form load.
