The PROCESS GUI statement actions execute procedures from within the PROCESS GUI statement. They are flexible in parameter handling: it is sufficient to supply type-compatible parameters with them (for example, if A5 is the exact parameter type, supplying an I1 parameter will be accepted).

For more information about the PROCESS GUI statement, refer to Executing Standardized Procedures in the section Event-Driven Programming Techniques.

To use the PROCESS GUI statement actions more comfortably, the local data area NGULKEY1 is automatically included in the list of local data areas used by any new dialog.

NGULKEY1 contains reserved symbols to be used in any event handler code. This enables you to use meaningful names as parameters in a PROCESS GUI statement. It also enables you to refer to certain attribute values by the more meaningful texts rather than by the integer values.

Notes:

1. The "Response" parameters in the PROCESS GUI statement actions are optional.
2. ActiveX controls use the PROCESS GUI statement in a slightly different way. You use the statement to execute the ActiveX control's own methods and to access parameterized properties. For a description on how to use the PROCESS GUI statement for ActiveX controls, see Working with ActiveX Controls.
