Capturing What_ID on event in apex code

Hi,

 

I am trying to capture the account id from the url on clicking the new event button with the following statement:

 

String str;

 

str = ApexPages.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('what_id');

 

but the id isnt getting captured. Any idea why this is happening?

 

 

Thanks!

Where is this code appearing? The standard pages don't have controllers, so how are you associating this code with the button?

It is in a custom controller that is invoked by the button.

 

I am able to retrieve the event id  with ApexPages.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('id') but could not get the 'what_id'

 

 

thanks

What is the URL that is generated by the button?

There is your problem.  You'll need to add the id of the account that the button appears in as a parameter to this URL.
