PeopleCode Events that do not fire in Component Interface
By Chris Malek | Wed, Apr 25, 2012
When you create an Component Interface
object in Application Designer that wraps an existing PeopleTools Component, there are some subtle issues with some PeopleCode events that you should be aware of. This is documented in PeopleBooks but is often overlooked by developers. Additionally, if you are creating a Component Interface definition for a Component that is delivered or someone else wrote you can run into problems if the Component is using certain PeopleCode events that are critical to the logic of the component.
PeopleCode Issues with Component Interface
Here are the PeopleCode vents that do NOT trigger in Component Interface.

PeopleCode functionsDoSaveNow
DoModal
SetCursorPosition
SearchInit
SearchSave
RowSelect
Menu
PeopleCode%page
and%panel
- Do NOT resolve - See Page and Component Interface: A Warning
So if you are creating a component that you want to expose in a Component Interface, you should be aware of these limitations and make sure you are not using any of these events or functions. The two that I see the most that cause issues is the DoSaveNow
and the Page Activate
events.
