Description

Use the onExecute property to perform an action when the client application sends a directive to dBASE Plus. This directive can be any string of characters.

For example, a stock trading routine might receive either of two character strings, "BUY" or "SELL". The routine could use an IF statement to perform one action or another accordingly. A web browser could take a URL as a command, and display that URL.
