How can I capture "OK" button event?

My requirement is this:

When a user clicks SAVE AS button, enters a filename, and presses OK, I need to update a serial number field in the DCT before actually saving the DCR. This field update should occur ONLY if the user presses OK in that dialog box.

For this, I need to know that the user pressed OK. How am I to know this? Is there an event triggered when OK is pressed? If not, is there a workaround?

I need this info URGENTLY. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

A SAVE event is further categorised in onSaveValid, onSaveNameSpecified and onSaveDone. As far as OK button capturing event is concerned ... not sure about that... but i suggest you to try onSaveDone event of FormAPI to update your number field.

You can look FormsAPI guide page #20 for detailed information with example.

Thanks, guys.

I think I found my answer in the onSaveNameSpecified event. This event is triggered when a filename for the DCR is specified by the user and "OK" button is pressed. By handling this event, it seems I can update the serial number. If the user presses "Cancel," the save process is cancelled without triggering the onSaveNameSpecified event.

If, there are any other ideas out there, please share them.

Thanks.

Another point to be remembered if a user cancels... the onSaveValid function is being called earlier and would not be reverted.

If you want to get back your form in original state... you have to explicitly set your items to setValid(false) and after clicking on Ok... it has to be setValid(true).
