Inserting Secondary Page Controls

After you define a secondary page, you can place a secondary page control on your primary page and associate it with the secondary page you just created.

To insert a secondary page control, access the primary page:

  1. Select Insert, and then Secondary Page.

  2. Click the primary page where you want to display the secondary page control.

    The secondary page control looks like a small push button with the secondary page icon on it. This control is invisible at runtime.

  3. Double-click the control to access the Secondary Page Properties dialog box: Secondary Page tab.

  4. Select the name of the secondary page to associate with the secondary page control on the active page.

    Only secondary pages can be associated with secondary page controls. You cannot associate a standard page or subpage with the secondary page control.

  5. Select the Label tab.

    This label is for informational purposes only. It appears in the Order tab of the page definition and in the page description printout.

  6. Position the secondary page control at the proper scroll level on the Order tab.

    See Specifying Type Properties for Push Buttons or Links.

  7. Save the page definition.

Note:

When you use secondary page controls on primary pages, you must also insert a push button control and write PeopleCode that invokes the secondary page.
