Code for a Custom Refresh Button

[lalbrecht (Logan Albrecht)]

I’m trying to make a custom refresh button, but the code will not compile.
What am I doing wrong? (I did have the Control type set as Epi Button when I tried.)

I have tried putting these under the “Place Event Code Here” separately:
oTrans.Refresh();
and
SendKeys.Send("{F5}"); (F5 is set up as a refresh hotkey)

[josecgomez]

What’s the error?

[lalbrecht (Logan Albrecht)]

[josecgomez]

I mean it kinda tells you what the error is right there can you paste your entire code?

[lalbrecht (Logan Albrecht)]

Sorry, this is my first time touching code in Epicor.
I’m pretty lost.

This is the Control Event Code, the only thing I am touching before it starts to give errors. :

private void epiButtonC1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs args)
{
oTrans.Refresh();
}

[josecgomez]

You must be touching something else that error you are getting isn’t refering to this line, can you paste all your code (the entire script editor)

Also do you know/understand C#?

[lalbrecht (Logan Albrecht)]

A little bit. I have only really ever used JavaScript (entirely different, I know), and it has been a long time.

So you have a ton of extra } " ) at the end of your method not really sure how that happened… But that’s your issue. (if you look at your post I’ve formatted it for you, and you can clearly see the issue at the bottom there with the orange parenthesis and curly braces.

I recommend before proceeding much further that you do a thorought reading o the Epicor Ice Customization Guide, the Epicor Ice Tools Guide, and the Epicor Programmers Guide.
All available in EpicWeb

I’ve seen something like this lately if you don’t do the add of the event just right that you get some garbage at the bottom. When this happens I close the customization without saving and try adding it again.

When I needed to add a custom button to refresh my dashboard, I added this to the customization for the button code:

//Call Dash Refresh All
oTrans.PushStatusText("Refreshing all views. Please be patient...", false);      
MainController.AppControlPanel.HandleToolClick("RefreshAllTool", new 
Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.ToolClickEventArgs(MainController.MainToolManager.Tools["RefreshAllTool"], null)); 
oTrans.PushStatusText("Done!", false);

Refresh All After Custom Action in Dashboard

Hi there! I have a dashboard that contains three updatable BAQs. Each UBAQ has a custom action programmed in the BPM. Within the dashboard when I click on Actions > My Custom Action, my action runs as expected. I would like to initiate a Refresh All after each custom action completes, thereby refreshing the UBAQs displayed within the dashboard. Is there a way to accomplish this in the BPM, or in the Dashboard, without using a customization? Thank you! Nate

Also the documentation that Jose mentioned is a riveting couple of days worth of reading.
Good luck!

[NateS (Nate Schoonover)]

Oh you might need to add some usings to the list at the top. TBH I am not sure which of these ones you actually need but this is what I had:

using Infragistics.Shared;
using Infragistics.Win;
using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Reflection;

[lalbrecht (Logan Albrecht)]

I actually got the refresh button working with the stuff I had in my original post.
Mostly had to get rid of the extra stuff that was being generated. Thanks, though!
I may come back to that in the future.

Have Any one tried to PustStatusText from BPM.

Please share it.

[josecgomez]

You can’t BPM runs server side. Status Text is client side…
