Work with events

This option contains a set of options in turn split into several groups:

- The first group is used to edit the INITIALIZATION, VERIFICATION, VALIDATION and SOFTKEY blocks in the WINDOW block in the program's source view.
- The second group is used to edit the WORK WITH EVENTS block in the WINDOW block in the program's source view.

Note: If the event block for the chosen option does not already exist in the WORK WITH EVENTS block, it will be automatically created in the tree view and in the program's source view. Additionally, the source window will appear above any other windows, with the cursor positioned in the block.

- The third group, which will be present if the layout includes a menu, is used to edit the event block containing the source that is executed when the user of the program selects an item from the layout menu.
