Writing an Event Handler for the Button

The form does not yet perform any actions when the user clicks the OK button.

For information on editing the main form, see Editing the Main Form.

You will now write an event handler that will display a greeting when the user clicks OK.

1. Double-click the OK button on the form. An empty event handler is created in the editor window, like the one shown here:

Copy Code

    procedure TformMain.IWButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
    begin

    end;

1. Using the editor, add code to the event handler so it looks like the following:

Copy Code

    procedure TformMain.IWButton1Click(Sender: TObject);
    var s: string;
    begin
       s := editName.Text;
       if Length(s) = 0 then
          WebApplication.ShowMessage("Please enter your name.")
       else
       begin
          WebApplication.ShowMessage("Hello, " + s +"!");
          editName.Text := "";
       end;
    end;
