OK override button in editor

Support
#1

Hi ,

When I save any record in from editor field, an auto generated ID will create along with saved record in table. Now I want to use that ID (auto generated) to map it with subID in some other table.
For this I need to override OK button in the editor. so how can I override OK button so that I can perform some action after it will save the record.

Thanks,
Saurabh

You can use middlewar listeners to override onbeforinsert and onbeforeupdate. If you are using Studio, just click Middlewar -> new -> entity listener

#3

Also you can always use Button component for your own ‘window actions’. Just invoke methods for it

public void onMyOkBtnClick(){
    if(this.commit()) /*doSmth*/
}
public void onMyCommitAndCloseBtnClick(){
    if(this.commit()) {
       /*doSmth*/
      this.close(COMMIT_ACTION_ID,true);
    }
}

But using entity listener as @apunzi suggested is better if your after-commit logic goes beyond one editor screen.

so you mean, in my below editor screen I need to add an extra ‘save button’ for after-commit logic?

Yes. Just remove standart window-actions frame and add your own ok and cancel buttons.

#9

ok, and where will my before commit logic will go?
Because I want something to do before commit and something to do after commit.

Create an EntityListener. There you can implement Before and After CRUD actions.

  1. If you implemented your own buttons:
public void myOkBtn(){
    if(isValid()){ //We need it since now we have pre-commit logic
        /* pre-commit  logic goes here */
		if(this.commit()){
		    /* post-commit logic */		
		}
    }
}
  1. Also i just realize that since you’re using Editor window there is some pretty useful hooks (sorry didnt mensiond it’s earlier): postCommit() and preCommit()
    It is even better since standart window-actions is ok for you.
