Power Pages – Using Action Buttons

If you would like to add action buttons similar to the ‘Select Actions’ column available on XMPro tasks, the below snippets will add the necessary markup for a Save and Reset button.

1. Add the following to your markup (.aspx) file:

Note: This should wrap your content, so look for the <!– Your content goes here –> comment!

     <div class="formcontainer">
          <div id="detailNoWidget" class="formtask">
               <div id="container" class="formcontainer" xmlns:dx="remove">
                   <div class="formwrapper">
                        <!-- BEGIN Action Buttons -->
                        <div id="trigger" class="RowButtonTrigger">
                             <table class="triggerDetail">
                                  <tbody>
                                       <tr class="triggerHeader">
                                            <td class="triggerHeader">Select Action</td>
                                       </tr>
                                       <tr>
                                            <td class="RowButton"><span>
                                                 <dx:ASPxButton ID="btnSave" runat="server"
                                                      ClientInstanceName="btnSave" Text="Save"
                                                      Width="140px" OnClick="btnSave_Click">
                                                      <ClientSideEvents Click="function(s,e){loadingPanel.Show();}"/>
                                                 </dx:ASPxButton>
                                            </span></td>
                                       </tr>
                                       <tr>
                                            <td class="RowButton"><hr /></td>
                                       </tr>
                                       <tr>
                                            <td class="RowButton">
                                                 <dx:ASPxButton ID="btnReset" runat="server"
                                                      ClientInstanceName="btnReset" Text="Reset"
                                                      Width="140px" OnClick="btnReset_Click">
                                                      <ClientSideEvents Click="function(s,e){loadingPanel.Show();}"/>
                                                 </dx:ASPxButton>
                                            </td>
                                       </tr>
                                  </tbody>
                             </table>
                        </div>
                        <!-- END Action Buttons -->
                        <div id="detail" class="formdetailtrigger">
                             <!--- Your content goes here -->
                        </div>
                   </div>
              </div>
         </div>
    </div>

2. Add the following to your code (.aspx.cs) file to handle the click events on the buttons

     //Reset button click handler
     protected virtual void btnReset_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
          base.Response.Redirect(Request.Url.AbsoluteUri, true);
     }

     //Save button click handler
     protected virtual void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
          //Your logic here
     }

3. This will add an action column on the right side of your page.
