Add button to an updatable dashboard

[darista (David Arista)]

I’m trying to add a button into an updatable dashboard in order to set the current date to the same column after clicking it, I read the below posts about a similar question but not sure how to trigger the click event (I tried to add the click event manually but it didn’t worked).

Used this example to add the button.

Add buttons into a grid example?

as for adding the event handlers? You could just hand type them into the initialize and destroy methods, just copy what you see for a wizard added section but mod it to fir your new button looks like there is a built in wizard for the handler [image] and once you have an event handler built in you just do your code action off of that method private void yourGrid_ClickCellButton(object sender, CellEventArgs e) { if (e.Cell.Column.Key == "YourButton") { //d…

Ok I’ve figured it out. You have to deploy your dashboard as an assembly, Add it to you menu, then you can customize it proper. The only catches I saw was that I had to access the button you created as a system control (using csm.GetaNativeControlReference) which means you can NOT use the wizard to create the onClick event. I’ve done that manually.Once you deploy your DB as assembly and open customization, you can use this as a guide. NOTE your GUID’s are probably going to be different for you…

Any idea about what am I missing?

Thanks

if you updating rows on this dashboard, then you can create UD field on the relevant table and use data BPM to stamp the current date on it, and user (if you want)

I would approach this differently. I would make a Calc_SyncDate Field thats a checkbox, then add a Custom Action on the Updatable BAQ with a BPM that loops through all the Calc_SyncDate = true and sets the date then unsets Calc_SyncDate back to false. That way you can support Mass Syncs.

On Dashboard you add the Custom Action and it becomes a button under Actions to be clicked.

hi darista,

try this

put this code under initialize custom code & Destroy the object same

maingrd.ClickCellButton += new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CellEventHandler(maingrd_ClickCellButton);

then add this function

private void maingrd_ClickCellButton(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CellEventArgs args)
{

     if(maingrd.Rows.Count > 0 ) 
   {
        UltraGridColumn column = maingrd.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[0];
          UltraGridRow row = maingrd.ActiveRow;
        string cell = row.Cells["UD102A_ShortChar03"].Value.ToString();
        MessageBox.Show("The Clicked Cell Value is: " + cell);
    
   }

}

I’m reviewing this post to see if I can use it in my project. I’m trying to make a button on the Tracker section that will update or add the record. I don’t always want to change a field value but presently it won’t save a record without a change being made and hitting save. Any suggestions?
