Interrupting triggers

[panchristo]

I'm not quite sure if "Interrupting triggers" is a correct title,so here's the question:

When you have a OnRecordLoad script trigger set to perform a Refresh script, is it possible to trace if another script is already running and avoid executing the command in order to freeze the window and minimize flicker?

Scripts do not run concurrently. Why do you need a Refresh in an OnRecordLoad?

When I have a script that trigger another script that I don't actually want to run, I include a

Set Variable[$$triggerOff;1]

step at the start and a

Set Variable[$$triggerOff; ""]

at the end.

In the triggered script, I add:

If[$$triggerOff]

Exit Script[]

End If

This comes up for me frequently with the New Window[] script step which triggers on LayoutLoad scripts.

The onrecordload is used to refresh the screen and update a global variable for a record row hilighter.

Hmm, sounds like a nice solution, I'll look into it further, THANKS!
