Interface that allows a visual host reusable part to determine its current context

Ancestors - None

Details

The PRIM_DC.IContextualSubject is implemented by reusable parts acting as a Visual Host field visualization.
 
The OnContextChanged method is executed whenever there is a change to any facet of the hosting Field or Grid Column.

Example

The following example uses the iMonitorSubject and iContextualSubject interfaces to support use as a field visualization, in this case an autocomplete feature for SURNAME.
