Send EMail action script not available in dialog2?

[WindForce]

In a submit button in my dialog, i wanted to save data to my SQL DB then send a confirmation mail with the new order number, but when trying to add the send email action script, i get an error message "This builder is not available for this component type: Dialog"...
Any clues as to how to manually send this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jaime,

I noticed that action script wasn't available as well.
As a workaround, I added a checkbox (called Email) to my Dialog and in the Server Side Events I call the Email script.

ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Data::Save_Order")

dim Checked as L
Checked = e.dataSubmitted.Email

if rtc.flagRecordWasSaved then
   if Checked = .T. then
      ExecuteServerSideAction("Send E-mail Message::Send_Email")
    else  
      e.javascript="alert('Record Save Error. No E-mail Confirmation Will Be Sent')"
   end if
end if

Not sure if that's what you need but you might be able to work with it.

Dear Stephen
Thank you very much! Seems quite logical.
The only thing i missed is, I see you send the email with the command ExecuteServerSideAction("Send E-mail Message::Send_Email") , so where do i setup what will the email contain?

Jaime,

Easy, just put your mouse cursor on the same line as ExecuteServerSideAction("Send E-mail Message::Send_Email")
Then, click Action Scripting | Edit Action

Thanks Chad.
What i don't understand is, how is it useful to send an email in the onDialogInitialize? What's needed is send an email upon successful submission of all dialog's data...

Dear Stephen
Where do i enter this code? Looking at the Server Side Events, i only see onDialogInitialize, onDialogExecute, dialogValidate and afterDialogValidate...

Thanks

Where do i enter this code?

Server-Side Events --> AfterDialogValidate

As Chad pointed out, use the Action Scripting there to add the Save Submitted Data & Send Email functions.
The video explains this all.

Ok, all up and running thanks to you guys!
How do i close the dialog after the email has been sent? I noticed in the Send EMail action scripting, in the Client-Side events, an 'After message sent' property where i can enter some JavaScript, what should i put there to have the dialog close itself?

Thanks

How do i close the dialog after the email has been sent?

The way I do this is in the Action Scripting properties of ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Data::Save_Order").
Under Save Data you have the option to Redirect To Another Page ... I use this to go back to my home page after saving.

There may be a way to close the Dialog using javascript but I'm not aware how to do that.
