Custom Coach View event handling

Hello!

I tried to follow the tutorial from the link below, to see if the event handling there would work. I.E the on_click event.
I’ve tried with my own custom CV first, but I didn’t succeed. I even used the supplied file from the tutorial, and still
nothing seems to happen, when I press the button. Please see attached file.

Hi Emil,

I deleted your TWX from your post due to security concerns.  I will continue to take a look at the issue.

Hi Emil,

Your MyButton.js file was registering and executing

bpmext.ui.registerEventHandlingFunction(this,”onclickEvent”);

and

btn.onclick = function() {
bpmext.ui.executeEventHandlingFunction(view, “onclickEvent”);

just as in our example code.  However, your MyButton Coach View contained eventON_Click in the Configuration Options under Variable Declarations instead of onclickEvent.  If you correct the variable name, the event will fire correctly.

Oups.. Embarassing.. You look and you look, and you still fail on such things.. *Gaah*

With the correct variable name, the event handling worked, but the binding to the end state in the diagram does not. I have selected the MyButton in the binding, but no action.

Hi Emil,

You need to add this from your btn.onclick() function:

view.context.trigger();
