I'm making a custom dialog box with Adobe Livecycle Designer ES2 and I can't find out how or even if it's possible to get two type:"ok"-Elements in there doing different things.
I want to have one regular OK-Button at the bottom and I want to have a hyperlink to a website on the top.
That already prevents me of being able to use "ok_cancel
" et cetera, because as far as I know those buttons aren't separable in the layout.
I don't know how to make the event-handler for the button where I would launch the URL or if it's even possible to handle the click event of "ok"-Elements outside of "commit".
Also I don't understand how the "commit" function chooses its ok-button, because in another Dialog Box of mine it's triggered by the lower OK-Button which is on the bottom of the code unlike in this case where the upper button triggers the "commit" function.
Here's my code to make it clearer - I don't want the "link" element to trigger "commit" but the "okbo" element. And I want to make a new function for the clickEvent
of "link".
var dialogBox =
{
description:
{
elements:
[{
type: "static_text",
name: "Text about the link",
},
{
type: "ok",
item_id: "link",
ok_name: "Go to Link",
},
{
type: "static_text",
name: "Some more Information",
},
{
type: "ok",
item_id: "okbo"
}]
},
commit: function(dialog)
{
app.alert("This is triggered by the OK-Button with the ID 'link' \n and I don't know why!");
}
};
app.execDialog(dialogBox);
If it's impossible to work with different "ok"-Elements in one Dialog I'm open for suggestions on how to get a Hyperlink in my Dialog in a different way!
This is my very first StackOverflow question so please don't kill me :P ;)
See updated code and my comments bellow. For more details about Dialog and execDialog function see here.
Some of the controls are not documented like:
• link_text: a hyper link control
• mclv: a multi-column list view (or grid)
• slider: a slider
• ok_help, ok_cancel_help, ok_other_help, ok_other_cancel_help controls
• separator: draw a line horizontal or vertical with optional caption
• Heading and Title fonts about 10pt and 12pt respectively
• margin_width, margin_height properties for the view control
• back_color, gradient_direction, gradient_type for the view control
• A Dialog.setForeColorRed() method
• A Dialog.visible() method to show/hide controls
