Press two action buttons from another graph on a graph extension

Question

Hay guysDoes anyone have an opinion on the best way to press two action buttons from another graph on a graph extension?More Specifically I want to press the “Print Courier Label” action button and the “Confirm Shipment” action button from my pick/pack/ship screen.Do I need to bite the bullet and learn how to edit the ASPX page?Or can I trigger it in a graph extension? I tried using an event handler, but I must have done it wrong, couldn’t get it working. I couldn’t get it working in the workflow editor either as the existing actions are on the Shipment screen and I want to Action them from the pick/pack/ship screen. If someone could steer me in the wright direction I can figure out the rest, i.e., what type of methodsThank you

Do I need to bite the bullet and learn how to edit the ASPX page?

I believe not.

More Specifically I want to press the “Print Courier Label” action button and the “Confirm Shipment” action button from my pick/pack/ship screen.

I’d assume, that you’ve created graph like this:

var graph = PXGraph.CreateInstance<SOOrderEntry>();
//load graph with some sales order

in that scenario, all avaialable actions will be in collection Actions. You need to find out which action is responsible for some activity in C#. I’d assume, that Print Courier Label is described in Acumatica with name “PrintCourierLabel”, and button Confirm Shipment is described as “ConfirmShipment”.

you can call anyone of them like this:

graph.Actions["PrintCourierLabel"].Press();
// Potentially you may need
// PXLongOperation.WaitCompletion(graph.UID);
graph.Actions["ConfirmShipment"].Press();

You can trigger it via a graph extension. Here’s a very short example that assumes that the shipment record is in the variable called shipment:

SOShipmentEntry shipmentEntry = PXGraph.CreateInstance<SOShipmentEntry>();
shipmentEntry.Document.Current = shipment;
shipmentEntry.putOnHold.Press();

You can also press the button via the action name as well:

poGraph.Actions["Process"].Press();
