Tech Tip: Form Event Constants in Numerical Order of their associated value
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 11.4 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: August 27, 2009

It can be useful when debugging a 4D application to find out which form event caused a method to open or code to run. You can use the Form event command to find out the integer value of the current event and then use the constants list to figure out which event your code is responding to. Here is an ordered list (in numerical order by value of the associated constant) to make that process easier (the list is relevant as of 4D v11 SQL Release 4 / August 2009):
