Posted on by Teevo 338
Hi guys,
 
When creating class (RunBase class), I'm adding a menuitem in my Dialog like this :
 
public Object dialog()
    {
        dialog = super();
         
        DialogGroup dialogGroup = dialog.addGroup('Upload file');
        FormBuildControl formBuildControl = dialog.formBuildDesign().control(dialogGroup.name());

        dialogJournalNameId = dialog.addField(ExtendedTypeStr(LedgerJournalNameId), /Ledger journal name/);        
        dialog.addMenuItemButton(MenuItemType::Action, /My_Template/);

        return dialog;
    }
 
 
After run, the addition menu item is displayed as a link. How to make it as a button instead ?
Thanks.

    Hi @Teevo,
     
    Try this :
    1 - Dialog method
    public Object dialog()
{
    DialogRunbase           dialog;
    DialogGroup             dlgGroup;
    FormBuildGroupControl   buttonGroup;
    FormBuildButtonControl  buttonControl;

    dialog = super();
    dialog.caption("Dialog");

    dlgGroup        = dialog.addGroup('ButtonGroup');
    buttonGroup     = dialog.formBuildDesign().control(dlgGroup.formBuildGroup().id());
    buttonControl   = buttonGroup.addControl(FormControlType::Button, 'Button Name');

    buttonControl.registerOverrideMethod(methodStr(FormButtonControl, clicked),
                                         methodStr(YourClass, YourClickedMethod),
                                         this);

    return dialog;
}
    2 - Clicked method
    private void YourClickedMethod(FormButtonControl _formButtonControl)
{
    MenuFunction    menuFunction;
    menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuitemActionStr(My_Template), MenuItemType::Action);
    menuFunction.run();
}
    Best regards,
    Mohamed Amine MAHMOUDI

    Hi Layan,
     
    Noted about your advice of using SysOperationFrameWork instead. 
    However may I know how should I still want to use RunBase ? 
     
    Issue is I'm not the original developer but assisting only hence I can't change the existing one and this is using RunBase. 
     
    Thanks.

    Hi Teevo,

    I would advise to use sysOperationFramework instead of runBase.

    Maybe check if this link is helpful:
    https://ariste.info/en/2020/07/add-menu-item-sysoperation-dialog/

    if you still want to stick with runBase, I think you should be able to do somehow the same to make it appear as a button.

    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan
