OptionButton.Click Event (Outlook Forms Script)

Occurs when the user definitively selects a value for the control that has more than one possible value, or when the value changes to True.

Syntax

expression.Click

expression A variable that represents an OptionButton object.

Remarks

The following are examples of actions that initiate the Click event of the specified control:

  • Clicking a blank area of a form or a disabled control (other than a list box) on the form.

  • Clicking a control with the left mouse button (left-clicking).

  • Pressing a control's accelerator key.

For some controls, the Click event occurs when the Value property changes. However, using the PropertyChange or CustomPropertyChange event is the preferred technique for detecting a new value for a property. The following are examples of actions that initiate the Click event due to assigning a new value to a control: changing the value of an OptionButton to True, and setting one OptionButton in a group to True sets all other buttons in the group to False, but the Click event occurs only for the button whose value changes to True.

The Click event is not initiated when Value is set to Null.

Left-clicking changes the value of a control, thus it initiates the Click event. Right-clicking does not change the value of the control, so it does not initiate the Click event.

If you bind an OptionButton to a field, then the Click event does not fire. You need to use the PropertyChange or CustomPropertyChange event to detect the change via code, as in the following code sample:

Sub Item_PropertyChange(ByVal Name) 
Set MyListBox = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("Message").Controls("OptionButton1") 
Select Case Name 
    Case "Mileage" 
        Item.CC = MyOptionButton.Value 
        Item.Subject = MyOptionButton.Value 
    Case Else 
End Select 
End Sub
