Add New Action to Page Extension When Existing Page Currently Has No Actions

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I am looking to add an action to an existing page that currently does not contain any actions.

Since there are no actions on the page, AddAfter(), AddBefore(), AddFirst(), & AddLast() do not work because there is nothing to 'Anchor' to.

    actions
    {
         AddLast(Anchor)
            {
                rAction
             }
    }
I had read somewhere that you can use something like AddLast(Creation) - and Creation would be an anchor when you need to create your first action, but it doesn't work. Visual Studio lists it as an error.
How do you add add a new action on a page without actions?
This is for a BC14 installation and will be used in many localizations (DE,UK, ES, Ect). I beleive the runtime version is 3.2, or something like that.
Thanks!

    What page (object no.) are you trying to add an action to?

    Page 9042 - Team Member Activities.  - althought the question is for any page that doesn't have existing actions. I don't know how to provide an 'Anchor' when there isn't anything already there.

    Thank You.

    pageextension id "Vendor Bank Account Card Ext" extends "Vendor Bank Account Card"
    {
        actions
        {
            addlast(Processing)
            {
                action("New Action")
                {
                    Caption = 'My New Action';
                    ApplicationArea = All;
                    Image = Action;

                    trigger OnAction()
                    begin
                        Message('This is my new action!');
                    end;
                }
            }
        }
    }


    In Visual Studio Code, I click Ctrl + Space and it give me the answer for this question.
