How to handle two Buttons in a PDF from WDC

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have a requirement in my Assignment.

Here it is:

1) I need to create a PDF, layout and it should contain two buttons in it.

2) One of the buttons, Gets the data from the DB, and the other creates a record in the DB.

3) I have to hook up this Form in a WDC, and from WDA i need to display this Interactive PDF.

Here is the problem i am facing.

In WDC, MAIN view, I have created a Interactive Form UI element.

In the properties tab of the UI element, I have assigned the Template soruce as the Form name.

This creates my node from the Form context.

In the properties of the UI element, under SUBMIT event, I have created an Event handler.

This event handler will be called for both the button clicks.

I want to execute the respective piece of code in the SUBMIT Event handler based on the Button Click.

For Ex: If i click GET DATA button, then i should execute the code which does this action, an vice versa.

How to capture the Button ID in the WDC from an interactive PDF..

Thanks in Advance,

Good day!

Hi...

U can use the second action "check" available for Interactive form and write a seperate event handler for this u have use "Check" button instead of submit or else u can have a context attribute which identifies which button is clicked.

Hi Gopal,

There is no other event apart from ONSUBMIT for the UI element Interactive Form.

If there is a way to find out the ID of the button clicked, then do let me know the process for it.

Thank you,

I think ur in WD ABAP then u can go for a attribute which will hold the some values abt which button is clicked like if u click "Submit" then u write submit to that attribute and if u click "Get Data" then u write getdata to that attribute and in event handler u read the value of that attribute and do the actions accordingly.

Hello...

Have a string attribtue "BtnStatus" which is binded to a input field. Have two buttons "Submit Data" and "Get Data" . If u click "Submit Data" write to input field as "Submit" and if u click "Get Data" write as "Get". Both the buttons will have same event handler. In the event handler read the attribute

eventhandler()

{

if(Btnstatus == "Submit")

{

do submit code...

}

elseif(Btnstatus =="Get")

{

do get code...

}

}

Hope u ll handle two button actions in a single event handler

Thanks

Gopal.
