Reproduce button action on tab page

On LineDetails form we have tab page [Areas]. Under that tab page is button [Read Areas] . That button is redundant and there is no need for it, as that action which is occurred when clicked on it should be done when tab page [Areas] is opened. enter image description here

[Control("Button")]
class ReadCommonAreas
{
void clicked()
{
ContractArea contractArea;
AmountMST sumContractArea;

super();

ContractLine_ds.readCommonAreas(ContractLine);
h1_h2.realValue(ContractLine_ds.h1_h2(ContractLine));
efa.realValue(ContractLine_ds.efa(ContractLine));
bfa.realValue(ContractLine_ds.bfa(ContractLine));
mfa.realValue(ContractLine_ds.mfa(ContractLine));
sumArea.realValue(h1_h2.realValue() + efa.realValue() + bfa.realValue() + mfa.realValue());

while select AreaSelector, sum(RentalValue)
from contractArea
group by AreaSelector
where contractArea.ContractId == Contract.ContractId
&& contractArea.RentalObjectId == ContractLine.RentalObjectId
{
sumContractArea += contractArea.RentalValue;
switch (contractArea.AreaSelector)
{
case AreaSelector::CommonAreaBuilding :
contractAreaBFA.realValue(contractArea.RentalValue);
break;
case AreaSelector::CommonAreaSection :
contractAreaEFA.realValue(contractArea.RentalValue);
break;
case AreaSelector::PrimaryArea, AreaSelector::SecondaryArea :
contractAreaH1_H2.realValue(contractArea.RentalValue);
break;
case AreaSelector::CommonAreaFixed :
contractAreaMFA.realValue(contractArea.RentalValue);
break;
}
}
contractAreaSum.realValue(sumContractArea);
}

}

How to adapt this, when is clicked on Areas to show info like when it's clicked on Read Areas ?

And after that, I will remove Read Areas button.

Solution

  • Just make the Read Areas button Visible = No to hide it.

    Then on the Areas tab page, override the pageActivated() method and do ReadAreas.clicked(). That way the core code stays in tact.

    The thing you should consider is if the user tabs off/on the Areas page, every time it will click the Read Areas button...not sure if that's a problem or not.

    Use event handlers and the like where appropriate. This is just off the top of my head general approach.
