In Dexterity is it possible to add a trigger to an alternate form in another dictionary

Posted on by bwholl 727

I am trying to ad a trigger to a button in a modified RM_Customer_Maintenance form that is in the Project Acccounting dictionary.  I have tried using Trigger_RegisterFocusByName but with no luck:

Trigger_RegisterFocusByName(258,"'(L) CopyAddress' of window RM_Customer_Maintenance of form RM_Customer_Maintenance",TRIGGER_FOCUS_POST, TRIGGER_BEFORE_ORIGINAL, script RM_Open_Customer_Copy)

I've used the SDT to look at the resources but it doesn't see the modified form.  Right now I'm using Trigger_RegisterForm to add it to the Additional menu but it is replacing some VBA code that ran off a button, so I have some retraining issues with users.

    It is certainly possible to register a trigger for a resource in a third party dictionary using RegisterFocusByName, I have done it in Human Resources. Do you receive an error?

    I do not have a Project Accounting dictionary to examine, but I get the sense that as long as the target of your trigger is in the PA dictionary it should work. You did use the language "alternate" and "modified". Is the field in the PA dictionary or is that form further altered with Modifier to add the field? If it is added with Modifier then no, I do not believe a Dexterity trigger would work.

    No errors, just no response.  Yes, it is an added button on a modified form.  I've done it also but never to a modified cross dictionary field.  I knew I was in trouble when SDT resources could not see the field.  This is a case where you can do something in VBA that Dexterity can't do.  The users are just going to have to get used to using the Additionals menu.
