I agree this is an excellent question.
I often want to do all or sometimes part of what an automatic handler does.
Rather than calling the event handler, I would like to be able to access the
underlying NetDynamics functions which do the work. Is there any kind of
documentation of what functions the point/click handlers use? Maybe there
is a call like executeAllDeletingObjects which would work.
Does calling a user interface event seem to be the best approach to you?

Subject: Re: [ND] Passing control to another event.
It's not a silly question at all. ND should have provided an easy
way to
put values into a web event such that they would be available to the
event
method, same as you could cram values into the String[] argument
that is
sent to the ND3 method.
It looks as though somebody thought about this, as all children of
CSpEvent
support a no-arg String method called paramString(). In the case of
a
CSpWebEvent, you get something like this:
ON_BEFORE_WEB_EVENT, Method=test.pgParamTest.buttontest_onWebEvent
(buttontest)
But there doesn't appear to be any way to set values into it based
on
values set into the html.
Except, hey, Method=test.pgParamTest.buttontest_onWebEvent
(buttontest)
corresponds to NAME=Method=test.pgParamTest.buttontest_onWebEvent
(buttontest) in the html.
So I wonder if you could mess with the html
(onBeforeHtmlOutputEvent) to
tack something on such that ND would still recognize the right
method and
source button, and let you grab the added stuff by parsing the
return from
paramString(). Something like
NAME=Method=test.pgParamTest.buttontest_onWebEvent (buttontest)
?value=AKWESASNE
Here's something that will definitely work:
1. Have your event method be exactly the same as in ND3, with
String[]
args and all that.
2. Make your button a static text field in the Studio, instead of a
button.
3. In the onBeforeHtmlOutputEvent of the static text field, set the
html
to be the complete html for a button, including an ND3 style
invocation of
the event method.
