Activating a customized button without using script

Precede the Method Invoked name with “EventMethod” in the control.

For example a button with Method Invoked = “Click” should actually have Method Invoked = “EventMethodClick” to get itself activated on the applet without using any script in the “WebApplet_PreCanInvokeMethod”.

HTML Type: MiniButton

2. The control should be added to the Applet Web Layout.

3. In WebApplet_PreCanInvokeMethod of the Applet Server Script, CanInvoke should be set to 'TRUE' and return (CancelOperation) should be mentioned.

4. In the Applet User Property a new record with the following details should be created :
Name: Named Method: ShowPopup
Value: 'INVOKE', 'ShowPopup', 'IIF([Field Name] = "Value","Popup Applet A","Popup Applet B")', 'Edit List'

If the value of the field given in the Field Name matches with the value given in Value then the Popup Applet A will get invoked, otherwise Popup Applet B will get invoked. Both Popup Applets will get invoked in the Edit List mode.
