Switching partial save flag programmatically

[alex_izm]

Dear CSPro team,

The static "PartialSave" flag is set in the .ENT file of the entry application. Is there a way to switch this flag programmatically from within the application code? I know it is possible to save a case using partialsave() function, but I would like to have the option of running the application with either enabled or disabled partial save, without having to maintain two separate .ENT files.

Thanks!

There is no way to set that flag programmatically. You could always disable it and then in logic add a userbar button that calls the partialsave() function. You could only add this userbar button when you want to allow partial save.

Aha, this is very clever. Thank you!

I guess the only thing you lose is that "Partial save" button when you "X" out of the CSEntry window. But this is not that big of a loss. Your solution would work in my case.

You can also emulate the partial save on Window close option by using a custom onstop() function. However doing that adds another complication. When restoring from partial save you don't get the "go last position" dialog. There is a workaround for that too though which is described in the help for OnStop().
