R:BASE 7.6 introduces the following RBTI System Variables used in Forms:

·	RBTI_DBGRID_COLUMN

This variable holds the name of focused Column on DB Grid.

·	RBTI_DIRTY_FLAG

Returns 1 if any DB Control value(s) in form were changed or 0 if nothing was changed.

·	RBTI_FORM_ALIAS

This variable holds the name of focused form, if used AS alias.

·	RBTI_FORM_COLNAME

This variable holds the name of focused column DB Control on form.

·	RBTI_FORM_COLVALUE

This variable holds the value of focused column DB Control on form.

·	RBTI_FORM_COMPID

This variable holds the value of focused DB/Variable Edit control's Component ID, if defined.

·	RBTI_FORM_DATATYPE

This variable holds the data type of focused column DB Control on form.

·	RBTI_FORM_DIRTYVAR

Returns 1 if any Variable Control value(s) in form were changed or 0 if nothing was changed.

·	RBTI_FORM_FORMNAME

This variable holds the name of the current form. Particularly useful when using the form-in-a-form technique and multiple forms are running at the same time.

·	RBTI_FORM_MODE

This variable holds the value of current mode of the form, such as ENTER, EDIT or BROWSE.

When the form is brought-up as ENTER USING formname ... the value for RBTI_FORM_MODE will be returned as 'ENTER'.

When the form is brought-up as EDIT USING formname ... the value for RBTI_FORM_MODE will be returned as 'EDIT'.

When the form is brought-up as BROWSE USING formname ... the value for RBTI_FORM_MODE will be returned as 'BROWSE'.

·	RBTI_FORM_TBLNAME

This variable holds the name of the current table in a form. This is especially useful when used within a multi-table form.

·	RBTI_FORM_VARNAME

This variable holds the name of focused Variable Control on form.

·	RBTI_FORM_VARVALUE

This variable holds the value of focused Variable Control on form.

Tips and Techniques:

If you have variables controls on a form in EDIT mode and the value of the variable control is changed - then RBTI_FORM_DIRTYVAR will change. You can then use this to take appropriate action.

In form EDIT mode, RBTI_DIRTY_FLAG will only change if a DB control is changed that affects the displayed dataset. In ENTER mode RBTI_DIRTY_FLAG is always set to 1. In EDIT mode this allows you to easily cater for a form with a mix of DB controls and variable controls - by using RBTI_FORM_DIRTYVAR you can trap in an EEP the situation where the user has only made a change to a variable control and not to any DB controls. (In this situation RBTI_DIRTY_FLAG will be 0 but RBTI_FORM_DIRTYVAR will be 1.)
