Title: How to execute server side code on a button click?
Post by: rayb12 on May 27, 2015, 02:28:30 PM

I know this sounds like a silly question but I can't seem to get it to work.  I looked at the example "web28" buttons and I put a simple "message('hello world')" in the serverbutton field add server side code here and it works!  But in my application, on a form, I have a simple button with the same message in the same embed point and it does not work.

Just to test, I even put in a url in the url field of the button and when I click the button it goes to the url.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

try to delete your button, add it back in and add your server side test and don't do anything else to the button.

If the button calls a procedure or URL then the server side code will not run.

Hi Ray

Is it a multi DLL app?
If yes and the button was added to a procedure in a dll , then you must compile the the exe,
so that the button is registered in the webserver procedure.

Hi Ray,

on the button you added, go to the client-side tab, and make sure
"send to server" is clicked on.

cheers
Bruce

Kevin - Thanks for the suggestion.
Johan - It's a single exe.
Bruce - That worked.  Send to server was not clicked on.  As soon as I did this it worked.  Thank you for your help!
