Help getting Cancel button callback to work

menime54

I am having trouble getting the callback to work when I hit the Cancel button on a form I created.  I have tried to write the ?callback line multiple different ways.  The OK button works fine.  I want to call the same function for both buttons.  What am I doing wrong?

?callback       list('xMPP_CloseForm 'xMPP_CloseForm)

OR

?callback       "xMPP_CloseForm() xMPP_CloseForm()"

?buttonLayout   '(OKCancel
        (Defaults     "(hiFormDefaults xMPPform)")
        (Apply        "(xMPP_ModifyAll (geGetSelSet))")              
        (Next         "(xMPP_UpdateForm )")
        (Previous     "(xMPP_UpdateForm )") )

 

Thank you!!

    Hi Menime54,

    I have a slightly dumb question - if you have the same callback/action for the OK button and the Cancel button, why do you need both buttons, why not just an OK button?  You've shown the syntax for custom button layouts, did you see this in the docs:

    ’(’Empty (s_customButtonText s_customButtonCB) ...)
    
    Displays only your custom buttons, followed by the Help button. Custom buttons are specified as button text/button callback pairs.
    
    Note: Specify either OK or Close as one of the button names in your list of custom buttons so the form can be closed. You can use hiFormClose() as the callback for these buttons.

    So you could use a custom button layout that has an OK button, plus the other needed buttons?

    Perhaps I'm missing the point somewhere, if so, please explain and I will try to be more helpful.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
