Accessing Forms Context Information

You can access information about the form, access the data in the underlying record, and access a limited number of Groove services. This access is provided by global functions, including the following:

  • GetApp—provides access to IFormsToolUIDelegate, which provides access to the Groove runtime environment and to Groove services. For example, you can use GetApp to find the members of the workspace, send instant messages, and open transactions to lock the workspace while you are accessing a record.

  • GetFormRecord—returns the current form record. See Accessing Forms Records and the IGrooveFormsToolRecord reference page for more information.

  • GetIs* Functions—provide context information such as whether the form is read-only, whether it is a response form, and whether it is being viewed in the preview pane.
