RE:How to create cancel or reset button in Bizform

Hello,

You can add a new button to the BizForm web part (~\CMSWebParts\BizForms\bizform.ascx.cs):

<asp:Button runat="server" ID="asdasd" OnClick="OnClick" />

and use the following code that should reset all BizForm's fieds in its OnClick handler:

    protected void OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (DictionaryEntry field in viewBiz.BasicForm.FieldEditingControls)
        {
            if (field.Value is EditingFormControl)
            {
                ((EditingFormControl)field.Value as EditingFormControl).Value = null;
            }
        }
    }

Best regards,

RE:How to create cancel or reset button in Bizform

So you're saying I have to customize a core file of Kentico (that will affect every single BizForm in the CMS) to enable support for a button that is considered a basic standard minimum for just about every single online web form?

Why not simply provide a checkbox to 'Show Reset Button?' when creating a BizForm? Or maybe even allow users to add a reset button in the 'Custom Form Layout' page? Currently, if I were to add a reset button to the 'Custom Form Layout' page using the standard:

<input type="reset" value="Reset" />

The form fails to render at all.

What is the logic behind this?

Correction. It does work. Kentico was caching the wrong page and ended up reloading the wrong page whenever I tried testing my changes.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your solution. I think the reason for not providing the reset button is that you have the alternative form under your control, so you can place the reset button where you need, as editors might want to display the button on different places for different forms.

However, you can suggest this feature for the future release: Kentico User Voice.
