Thread: Can we change the functionality of 'Save' button (appears in the Toolbar)

Can we change the functionality of 'Save' button (appears in the Toolbar) Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi Guys,
I want to add a new text field in the 'Contact' page in SLX and save the value of that text box along with contact details on the 'Save' button.
How can we do this ?
I found that 'Save' button calls a function 'File:Save' internally.
Where this function is stored in the SLX? Can we modify this?

Appreciate any help on this .
Thanks,
Harendra

All you do is:
A - Add your custom field to the CONTACT Table via the SalesLogix DBManager
B - Add the textbox control to the Contact Detail Form
C - Hook the TEXT property of the control to the new field
D - Save/Release the modified Contact Detail Form.

ZERO coding - it's worked this way for 12+ years.

Thanx a lot Bob,
But I want to save the new value(may be selected from a drop down box) in another table .
Both table will have a relationship on the basis of CONTACTID.

I assume the table has been built as a 1:1 of off Contact via the SalesLogix DBManager.. so my original post still prvails.. it's a bound field and it gets saved automatically.

However I do suggest you modify Insert Contact/Account and create a new "empty" 1:1 record when you create the new contact record..
It's all SalesLogix "101".

Harendra

Just out of interest, can you detail why you chose to use a 1:1 extension table instead of just adding the new field to the Contact table?

Thanks
Phil
