This is tricky. Yes, the EIP control's TakeEvent is the proper method,
but you have to put it AFTER the PARENT call; you have to PRECEED it with
an "UPDATE(SELF.Feq)"; you DON'T use the Level:Benign/Notify/Fatal but
the EditAction: equates instead; and you DON'T update the file field, but
the BRW.Q field instead! For instance, from a test program, this checks
for and disallows a blank field. This is AFTER the PARENT call.
UPDATE(SELF.Feq)
IF ReturnValue AND ReturnValue <> EditAction:Cancel THEN
IF BRW1.Q.File1:Field1 = '' THEN
MESSAGE('Field Cannot Be Blank','Field Error',ICON:Exclamation)
ReturnValue = EditAction:None
END
END
