Run some code from a menu
« on: December 05, 2011, 06:18:41 AM »
I cannot seem to get a handle on this one.

I have my menu and want to add an Item to run some code. That code must run conditionally so I assumed I could create a Page with a  button on (does not need to be fancy) and then when the button is pressed the code is run or the page closed.

I cannot seem to get started. I can add a menu item of course but sort of going round in circles. Any advice appreciated.

what must the code return to the browser?
ie what do you want the user to see after they select the menu item?

cheers

Bruce - a window with OK and Cancel basically. Then under the OK button will be the code I wish to run.

Should be really easy but cannot seem to get my head round it.

Thanks

Have you menu item point to a memory form.  Then put whatever buttons you need on the form.

don is correct - use a NetWebForm as your procedure, not a NetWebPage.
Set the form to "memory".

you can place code under the "ok" button by putting it in the ValidateUpdate routine.
