Choosing the action associated with a WEBDEV button
Whatever the type of button, it is possible to associate an action with it. The most common actions are available in the "General" tab of the control description window. For more specific actions, click "More options". In any case, you need to specify the destination of the action. Preset actions Different preset actions are available in a drop-down list. These preset actions depend on the elements in the page or project. For example, you can choose to: - Automatic detection of server and browser codes to be executed:
- If the "Click (Server)" event contains WLanguage code, this code will be automatically executed on the server.. In fact, the browser will automatically call the server to execute this server code.
- If no code is present in the "Click (Server)" event, the server will not be called.
- Always execute server and browser codes,
- Run browser click code only,
- Display a page of the site,
- Display a page from another site,
- Perform a custom action (send an email, call a phone number, connect to an FTP server, download a file, etc.). In this case, you can specify different parameters.
Caution: the actions are performed after the click code of the button (browser code and server code). Specific actions The "More options" link shows additional options. You can for example: - do an action on another control,
- set the position on one of the page anchors,
- share on a social network,
- change the current language,
- send the value of the page controls to ... a page or script. For example, this option can be used to process the content of a form in a static site.
Remark: All these operations can also be performed programmatically.
