Reusable Generic/Template button

Post by JDW »

Hi,

Is there a way to create reusable buttons, either by the default capabilities of IX developer itself or by scripting.

So something like template button using a kind of alias tags.

One of these generic buttons I hope to create is used to move to anoher screen. So in that would mean that the screenname should be transferred through an alias tag

The main reason for it, is that I just have to maintain the layout and colors of one parent button, in stead of going through all buttons in case of a change.

I hope this is possible, it would help me a lot.

Thanks in advance,

Jeroen

Hi JDW,

This functionality is not native to iX. However, this could be possible if you created your own button Class that is derived from the iX Button. Then you could add/modify your own methods and compile it into a DLL and add it to the project via the Referenced Assemblies option in the Project menu.

Best,
Russ
