[joeysssful]

hi,

I have a problem.

I want to fire an Event when a field is changed but when i switch to List view and come back to Detail View the event handler don't fire.

        void IPlugin.OnLoad(ActApplication application)//au chargement
        {
            this.application = application;
            
            
            application.AfterLogon += new EventHandler(Application_AfterLogon);
            application.BeforeLogoff += new EventHandler(Application_BeforeLogoff);
            application.CurrentOpportunityChanged += new EventHandler(application_CurrentOpportunityChanged);
            application.CurrentViewChanged+=application_CurrentViewChanged;
            ACTFM = application.ActFramework;
        }

        private void application_CurrentViewChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (application.CurrentViewName == typeof(Act.UI.IContactDetailView).FullName)
            {
                // attach events
                application.CurrentContactChanged += application_CurrentContactChanged;
                application.CurrentContactChanging += application_CurrentContactChanging;
                application.ApplicationState.CurrentContact.Fields.FieldChanged += Fields_FieldChanged;
            }
            else
            {
                // detatch events
                Contact contact = application.ApplicationState.CurrentContact;

                if (contact != null)
                {
                    application.CurrentContactChanged -= application_CurrentContactChanged;
                    application.CurrentContactChanging -= application_CurrentContactChanging;
                    application.ApplicationState.CurrentContact.Fields.FieldChanged -= Fields_FieldChanged;
                }
            }

        }

        private void application_CurrentContactChanging(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            application.ApplicationState.CurrentContact.Fields.FieldChanged -= Fields_FieldChanged;
           
        }


        private void application_CurrentContactChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)//au changement de contact dans act
        {
            var c = application.ApplicationState.CurrentContact;
            cs.ListRegistrationUpdate();
            cs.SetValues();
            cs.MiseAJour(c);
            cs.SetValues();
            c.Fields.FieldChanged += Fields_FieldChanged;
        }

        private void Fields_FieldChanged(string fieldName)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Field Changed");
        }

If you are using your original code posted it does not include the refresh.

this.ACTApplication.RefreshView(this.ACTApplication.CurrentViewName);

I think its still a bug in ACT!.

Try walking off the startup record. Does the event fire now?

Sorry but I dont't understand what you want to say?? 

"Try walking off the startup record. Does the event fire now?"

[jimdurkin]

Start ACT!

Go to the Contact Details view

Click on the "Go to next contact >|" button to move to the next record.

Does the event fire now?

[joeysssful]

Yep it works. 

On your link I saw "force a refresh/save as soon as the database has opened and from that point forward all event should fire normally."

But I don't know how to...

[jimdurkin]

This will refresh the currently loaded view

this.ACTApplication.RefreshView(this.ACTApplication.CurrentViewName);

It doesn't change anything, when I change contact it works but when I change view and not contact it continue to doesn't work...

This code is ripped out of Impact Suite. Not positive it will run out-of-the-boc but it should give you direction.
