Script constant for form mode?

SteveFitzgerald — Sat, 12 May 2012 09:41:51 GMT

I'm sure I've seen somewhere a constant for Arcpad's EditForm modes - something like 'apModeEdit', etc...
I searched the documentation but couldn't find anything.
No matter how much scripting I do I can never remember reliably which mode is which and a constant would make code so much easier to read.
Any one?

Take a look at the Customizing ArcPad Help file under the ArcPad programs folder, i.e. "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\ArcPad10.0\Developer\Help\ArcPadStudio.chm".

In the contents tab, locate "ArcPad Object Model Reference", then "Form Object", and Mode property.

Is that what you're looking for?

Hope this helps,
Kyle

Kyle,
Thanks for taking the time.
I forgot to mention I'm still on Arcpad 8.
Your prompt did however lead me to double (make that triple) check the object model and the help files...
Tantalizingly, there is a help file entry called 'mode constants' but it relates to the File object not the Form.
Would you be able to cut 'n paste to the forum?

Regards,
Steve

Steve,
Here's the Mode property page from the customizing help in ArcPad 10.

Kyle,
Sorry - you misunderstood what I was after but thanks again for taking the time.

Instead of using "If Map.EditLayer.Forms("EditForm").mode = 2 then..." I would like to use
something like "if Map.EditLayer.Forms("EditForm").mode = apFormEdit then..."

I'm fairly sure there are constants for the form modes but maybe they are not documented.
Or, maybe I dreamt it.

Regards,
Steve
