Customize 2nd MES menu button

Epicor ERP 10

Has anyone had success adding a second customized MES menu button? Have used the enclosed code successfully on one button, but my C# is not strong enough to know how I would add a second button.

The wizard will do everything for you. Draw and place the button, save, then go to the wizard and pick your second button. Then look in your code editor and you will see the wizard for adding the working parts of the code.

Side note, please check out the code block editor for the forum. It helps keep this place tidy.

We have added many buttons. So many actually we created our own tab. lol

Is there an error? or just not working?

Probably missing a step.

First button works fine.

Create a second button, name the button, save. Highlight button in tree view

Do I then need to do something different in Wizards > Form Event Wizard?

When I go to script editor, I’m just seeing the code used for the first button.

That doesn’t matter.

Yes, the same steps you did to get the first button, but select the second button instead. See screen shot above.

You’ll need to select your new custom control as Brandon mentioned. The only thing missing from Brandon’s screenshot, is you need to hit the right arrow button after you select the control and the click control event, then you click the update selected event code.

The update selected event code button is applying the text that appears in the control event code box on that wizard, which is populated by the control event selected in the list box in the top right.
