How to trigger an action from a component

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by MissingLink 236

Hi there

Just about every screen on my Canvas app needs a CRUD_Tray.

I have therefore created a CRUD_Tray Component (see attached image) to re-use in all our apps.

 

For the 'Edit', 'Add' and 'Cancel' buttons, I can simply update a variable to change the mode of the form(s) on each Screen.

 

However, I am struggling to use the 'Save' button. How do I trigger a 'submitform(FormName)' for the form that the component is related to?

    Hi @MissingLink ,

     

    Please enable the enhanced component properties feature:

    Next, you will be able to use Behavior property of a button control within a component.
