    [CLOSED] How to add a button inside a DesktopModule

    How can we add a button inside a desktopmodule.shortcut


    @(Html.X().Desktop()
        .ID("compdesktop")
        .Listeners(l => l.Ready.Handler = "HideComponent(this.desktop, this);")
      
        .DesktopConfig(
        (@Html.X().DesktopConfig()

             .AlignToGrid(true)
                .Wallpaper("../Content/resources/wallpapers/backgroud.jpg")
            .Title("COMPENSATION")
            .TitleAlign(TitleAlign.Center)
            .TitleCollapse(true)
            .Items(i => i.Add(

            )
        )
             
        )
    //we want the button here with direct event implemented
          .Modules(m => m.Add(
                        (@Html.X().DesktopModule()
                        .ModuleID("Module1")

    We want to place a button as a shortcut of DesktopModule. The problem is there is only a handler in the desktopshortcut but no DirectEvent and we are having an issue with this as for each button we need to load a partial view in the window. So based on the button/icon click a window opens and then loads a partial view in it.

    .Modules(m => m.Add(
                    (@Html.X().DesktopModule()
                        .ModuleID("Module1")
                        
                       .Shortcut(
                     (@Html.X().DesktopShortcut()
                      .Name("Application Configuration")
                           .IconCls("x-app-shortcut")
                          .Handler("CreateWindow(this);")
                             
                            .TextCls("x-long-label")
                     .SortIndex(1)
                        .X("100")
                       .Y("100")
    
                        ))))
                    )

    OK, I think it'll be better to use DirectMethods instead of DirectEvents, they have almost the same functionality but will be much more appropriate for your situation.

    After I changed it to directmethod I get

    Unable to get value of the property 'CreateWindowA': object is null or undefined

    Don't forget about [DirectController] attribute.

    [DirectController]
    public class DesktopController : Controller
    {
    	public ActionResult Desktop()
    	{
    		return View();
    	}
    	
    	[HttpPost]
    	public ActionResult BuildModules(FormCollection desktop)
    	{
    		
    		 var panel = new Panel();
    		 panel.Title = "Test";
    		 panel.Render("compdesktop", RenderMode.AddTo);
    		  
    		 return null;
    	}
    
    	public Ext.Net.MVC.PartialViewResult CreateWindow()
    	{
    		return new Ext.Net.MVC.PartialViewResult
    				   {
    					   ViewName = "SampleWindow"
    							
    				   };
    	}
    	
    	[DirectMethod]
    	public Ext.Net.MVC.PartialViewResult CreateWindowA()
    	{
    		return new Ext.Net.MVC.PartialViewResult
    		{
    			ViewName = "SampleWindow"
    
    		};
    	}
    }

    }
    That works thanks!!
