Object – Abort

This object is used to interrupt the execution of an event. When this object is executed, any of the events are stopped.

This object can be used, for example, to prevent a certain record from being changed when the user clicks the button (Change) or to prevent a record from being deleted when the user clicks the button (Erase).

Option button (Abort)

When clicking on the (Abort) button, the screen below is displayed. This screen has only two buttons. Use the button (Apply and Close) to add the object or (Close) to exit without making any changes.

Screen of the (Abort) object

The example below shows the use of this object in the event (Erase) to prevent a record from being erased.

Example of using the object (Abort)

We can observe the attempt to delete a record (1- Jacob A. Smith), however the event was stopped and the record was not deleted.

However the user might get confused as he tried to delete a record and nothing happened. Let’s then add a message informing the user why the record was not deleted.
