ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 33
Description
This script step can also perform an action on an object in that field. For instance, in a container
field, it can play a sound or a movie, or activate an OLE object (Windows).
To play a sound or movie, or perform the primary command for an OLE object (Windows), use the
Select/perform option.
Note If this script step specifies a field in a tab panel that is not in front, the specified field is
selected and the tab panel it is in moves to the front of the tab control. If, however, the same field
appears elsewhere on the layout and the script finds that field first, the tab panel with that same field
will not come forward. Instead, assign an object name to the field and use the
Go to Object script
step to move to that instance of the field.
Examples
Enter Browse Mode []
Go to Layout ["Contacts"]
New Record/Request
Go to Field [Table1::First Name]

Purpose

Description
If no field is selected when this script step is performed, this script step moves to the first field in the
tab order of the current layout. If a field is formatted as a button, the field object is selected, not the
button object.
