Is it possible to control container's element from its component?

Prathibha_Jain

Hello All,

          I am trying to control the visiblity of  buttons/panel  exsisting at the container level from the component.

In the component, based on few conditions the save/cancel button needs to be hidden and ok button needs to be displayed.

the three buttons are available in the container.

         I tried using container.getControlByElementName (strElementName) from the component, but in vain.

Guidance required.

Thanks,

Prathibha

To get the container Form, where the controls, buttons and validations are, you can use getTopForm() on your component class, but you should implement methods used by the framework to control the buttons, the methods canCancelChanges() and canCommitChanges() are examples of these kind of methods, the native containers will check these methods on your component to enable or disable the buttons.
