get the text from button

[Former Member]

Hello

I have few buttons in a view, for every button the text property is binded to a different variable in context, and all buttons have to execute the same action.

The question is: how can I get the text from the selected button?

Thank you

Hello Georgeta,

You should use in wdDoModifyView

final String       id  = element.getId();
final IWDButton button = (IWDButton)element;
button.mappingOfOnAction().addParameter( "actionID", id );

and add to your action handler new parameter

String actionID

.

Hello

I had the same ideea to create an action for every button, but practicaly there are around 40 buttons in that view.

I found Maksim's ideea very elegant, and it is working very well now.

Thank you

Hi Georgeta,

The easiest way is to create different actions for each button. You can create a private method whic performs the action and can be called in each of these action methods. Under each action methods, you can get the corresponding text from the context for the view.
