Description

The SHOW OBJECT command is only available in Recital Mirage: it is ignored in Recital Terminal Developer. It allows Recital Mirage objects to be redisplayed on the screen or their methods to be called. Objects are assigned in Recital Mirage using the id = <object_name> syntax in the PROPERTIES clause of @…SAY and @…GET commands. For more information on the PROPERTIES clause and the methods appropriate to each object, please see The Mirage Object Model in the Recital Mirage documentation.

Example

function ButtonEventHandler
  show object "customer_name" properties "method=hide"
return .t.
 
@2,0 say "Customer Name:" properties "id=customer_name"
store 1 to mchoice
@3,3 get mchoice picture "@*H Update" valid ButtonEventHandler()
