Class: BusinessProcess

Error related properties if set true, errors will be forwarded to the normal VDF error handler causing an error message to popup. Normally you would not want this during a batch process.

This is normally not used at runtime by BPOs but it is required by the IDE to figure out how to structure and relate DDOs

If you are going to log information you must create a status log object and set this property to its ID. See Statlog.pkg for more information.

Status Panel related properties

Public way to tell if a process should be canceled. This should be sent but probably not augmented check for report interrupt Returns True to stop report, false to continue

This procedure is the main public access method into this object. A process is run by sending this message. It will start the process, call a user defined Hook (event) to actually do the processing, and then end the process.

All errors are directed to the main report. By Default we shut off the status panel, report the error and notify the interrupt mechanism to ask if the report should be canceled. VERY IMPORTANT! If you augment this and you plan on doing ANY windows IO you should first shut of the status panel.

Event called by Error_Report. For augmentation. If you are planning on doing any interactive IO and you are using the status panel you must first remove the panel (send End_Status).

This runs the actual busiess process. It is expected that most if not all of the custom code to run a process will be provided here.
