Save and Clear Button on a Dialog Workspace
Posted: 02 Jun 09 6:18 AM

Hi,
Have anyone successfully created a save and clear button for a form that is called from a dialog workspace ?
I tried any options that I can or any combination but failed.
If anyone can help me or point me to the right direction that would be great.
Thank You in advanced. |

I am not sure whether I completely understood your question, but if you are trying to add a "Save" button and "Save" the changes on a form, you would proceed as below:
1. Open your form (Packages > SalesLogix Application Entities > Your Entity > Forms >Your Form
2. In the properties window, you should be able to find an option "Toolbar". (You should make sure that the form itself is selected). Click on the ellipses button in the Toolbar property.
3. In the toolbar editor that appears, click on the 'Right' node. Now click "Add" and select "Button".
4. Change the important properties like Caption, ButtonType, ControlID etc. Change Caption to "Save", button type to "Icon"and select an appropriate Save image for the Image property. Change ControlID to something like "cmdSave".
5. Click on OnClickAction, expand it and select Action Name as 'Business Rule'. Change the 'Business Rule' property to "Save". Change "Entity Type" to your entity of interest. Change "Dialog Result" to DialogOK.
6. Save the changes, build and redeploy.
Now your form should be able to save the changes. To add Cancel, repeat the same steps and do the changes accordingly. In step 5, select OnClickAction as "No Action" and change DialogResult to "DialogCancel".
Happy Coding

Hi Johnson,
Thank you for your response.
That will give me a normal save and after that close the dialog form if I understand correctly.
Do you know how to create a save and clear the page and enter a new one without re-open the form.
For example you have a product datagrid and you have the plus sign that will pop-up the insert screen.
But if you have 2 or more products to put in, you do not want to hit the plus sign and add the product and save and hit the plus sign to bring up the same form.
So I am just wondering if there is a way to save the product you just entered and clear the same form and enter the second one and so-on and until you are at the last product, hit save and close the form.
Thanks |

If you can have a close look at the "Insert Contact/Account" page, you can find a similar implementation. In the top menu, try New>Account/Contact. You can see 3 options for Save (Save, Save & New, Save & Clear).
Go to Portal Manager>Sage SalesLogix>Pages. Now, double-click on "Insert Contact/Account". In the "Smart Parts" select "Insert Contact (Custom)". Click on "Edit" in the right side. You can see the contents of "InsertContacts.ascx". You can find the following code there:
protected void cmdSaveNew_ClickAction(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IContact contact = BindingSource.Current as IContact;
if (contact != null)
{
object[] objarray = new object[] {contact, contact.Account};
EntityFactory.Execute("Contact.SaveContactAccount", objarray);
Response.Redirect(string.Format("InsertContactAccount.aspx?modeid=Insert&accountId={0}", contact.Account.Id));
}
}
Try if you can mimic the same functionality in your entity. |

I looked at that code for that form also.
The issue that I am currently having using that code is it does not allow me to redirect, since my form is getting called on Dialog Workspace instead of mainForm.
Or probably its just me who doesn't know how to use the code |

fiogf49gjkf0d We're using SLX 7.53. I've got a form with a Button on it which calls an "Insert Child Dialog Space" Form. On This Form I have two lookups an a picklist. One of this two lookups and the picklist are flagged as "required". I added two Buttons. One with DialogOK and the other with DialogCancel. Now when I try to click the Cancel Button the form isn't closing but signs me that my two controls are required. If I enter some Information it works. If there is no Information I have to close with the Close-Button.
Is there any Chance to get this? Some Webhotfix? |
