mavs Multiple buttons
Can we pass parameter from vf page to controller?
I have 6 buttons on my VF page which does the same work except on one field. I wanted to use the same page reference to all this 6 buttons.Based on which button is clicked, i want to pass parameter to controller and update one field.
for example,
My buttons are Update Phone,Update Address, Update State,Update City
<apex:commandButton action="{!update}" value="Update Phone" Here how to pass parameter val='Update Phone' to controller/> <apex:commandButton action="{!update}" value="Update Address" Here how to pass parameter val='Update Address' to controller/> <apex:commandButton action="{!update}" value="Update State" Here how to pass parameter val='Update State' to controller/> <apex:commandButton action="{!update}" value="Update City" Here how to pass parameter val='Update City' to controller/>
And the controller
public class MyController { Public PageReference Update(string val) { if(val=='Update Phone') { then do this.... } else if(val=='Update Address) { then do this... } } }

<apex:commandButton value="Update Phone" action="{!update}"> <apex:param name="val" value="Update Phone" assignTo="{!val}" /> </apex:commandButton>
Make sure to define variable val in your controller, you may then use it ... Public String val { get;set;}
Hello Harmpie and Saaspert -
Thanks for the response.
Actually i did tried that way..but the param value is not getting passed to the controller.
When clicked on the buttons the status value is not being updated....please advise..
what is wrong with the below?
<apex:page tabstyle="Account" controller="MyController"> <apex:form> <apex:commandButton action="{!update}" value="Phone"> <apex:Param name="BottonName" value="Phone" assignTo="{!BottonName}"/> </apex:commandButton> <apex:commandButton action="{!update}" value="State"> <apex:Param name="BottonName" value="State" assignTo="{!BottonName}"/> </apex:commandButton> <apex:commandButton action="{!update}" value="City"> <apex:Param name="BottonName" value="City" assignTo="{!BottonName}"/> </apex:commandButton> </apex:form> </apex:page>
public class MyController {
Public String ButtonName{ get;set;} public PageReference update() { Id AcctId = ApexPages.currentPage().getparameters().get('id'); String ButtonName=System.CurrentPageReference().getParameters().get('ButtonName'); return redirectResults(AcctId,ButtonName); } public pageReference redirectResults(Id AcctId,String ButtonName) { Account acct=[Select Status__c from Account where id=:AcctId]; if(ButtonName=='Phone') acct.Status__c='Phone is Updated'; else if(ButtonName=='State') acct.Status__c='State is Updated'; else if(ButtonName=='City') acct.Status__c='City is Updated'; update acct;
PageReference myPR = null;
myPR=new PageReference('/001/o');
if (myPR != null)
}myPR.setRedirect(true);
return myPR;
}
