Reference property
Returns a reference to the text screen.
Referencing a text screen is useful when writing formulas for the
NextScreen
property of form screens, text
screens and navigators. When a text
screen is referenced from these formulas, it is selected as the screen which
is displayed when the user moves on from the the current screen.
This property is a read-only property, meaning that no formula can be assigned to it.
Referencing text screens from formulas
When referencing a text screen from a formula, there is no need to write .Reference,Reference after the screen name if a reference is sought. These formulas are equivalent when associated with the NextScreen property of form screens:
Above, the NextScreen property is
looking for a screen reference. As TextScreen1 can return a
reference through its Reference
property, .Reference,Reference is implied.
Example
This formula is associated with the NextScreen property of a form screen. It causes the screen named SuccessScreen to be displayed when the user moves to the next screen only if Field1 is considered valid (as determined by the Valid property of the field) and the user has entered information in the Field2 field. Otherwise, the screen named FailureScreen is displayed.
