Setting the value of an element from within the ValueChanged script of an element will cause the ValueChanged script to execute again, and can lead to a recursion problem that can crash the ITScriptNet client.

DETAILS

To resolve this problem, either do not change the value of an element from within a ValueChanged script, or add a flag to prevent recursion. Here is a sample using such a flag to prevent recursion. For example, assume a combo box that you want to force to a value of ‘2’. Your on value changed script could look like the following:

$this.combobox1$ = “2”

This script may cause the recursion crash detailed above. However, adding a recursion flag as shown will prevent the problem:

if (@recurse@ <> 1)
   @recurse@ = 1
   $this.combobox1$ = “2”
   @recurse@ = 0
endif
