Define Triggers (QVCS-Pro Only)

For QVCS-Pro users, you will find a Define Triggers tab on the Admin→Preferences... dialog. You can use this area to define any trigger programs that QVCS should execute either before or after performing some QVCS operation. See the section on Triggers for more information on how they work.

To use triggers, you must enable the appropriate check box, and in the associated edit box (which will be enabled only if the associated check box is checked) enter the file path of the program that should be executed to perform the trigger operation.

Those triggers that begin with 'Pre' are invoked before QVCS attempts to perform the described operation. Those triggers that begin with 'Post' are invoked after QVCS has already completed the described operation.

For example, if you wanted to have QVCS invoke a trigger command (let's say the name of your program is 'MyTriggerCommand.exe') prior to any check-out operation, you would enable the 'Pre Check-Out Trigger' check box, and enter the full path to MyTriggerCommand.exe in the associated edit box.

The same trigger definitions are used for all users of QVCS.

Triggers are used any time the associated operation is performed within QVCS, whether the operation is performed by QWin, IDE integration (QVCSSCC.DLL), or any of the QVCS command line utilities.

Triggers are available only for QVCS-Pro users.
