Hi all,

Before I explain the question, let me explain what I have setup so far. I have a single Module Definition with three controls defined:

Key	Type	Title	SourcePage (abbreviated)
	View	Items	ViewItems.ascx
Edit	Edit	Edit Item	EditItems.ascx
Settings	Edit	Item Settings	ItemSettings.ascx

 In the ViewItems.ascx, I add a custom action in the usual event handler. The only "pertinent" code in that handler is:

Dim Actions As New Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionCollection"", "", EditUrl(), False, Security.SecurityAccessLevel.Edit, True, False)

Return

Paul,

Most of the time I just determine the mode by looking at the value of the primary key field that is passed to the Edit control from the View control. Typically, when you click on the edit icon of an exiting record you pass the record id of the record clicked and when you click the "Add Record" link you pass a -1. If you have a table with a key field called "ItemId" you could do something like this in your Edit control in the Page_Load...

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16

If Not (Request.Querystring("ItemId") Is Nothing) Then
  ItemID = Int32.Parse(Request.Querystring("ItemId"))
End If

If ItemId = -1 then
  '-- Add mode.
Me.ModuleConfiguration.ModuleTitle = Localization.GetString("AddMode.Text", LocalResourceFile)
  Else If ItemId > 0 then
  '-- Edit mode.
Me.ModuleConfiguration.ModuleTitle = Localization.GetString("EditMode.Text", LocalResourceFile)
  Else
  '-- Invalid ItemId so just return.
  Response.Redirect(NavigateURL(), True)
End If

This presumes you have entered the following entries in the resource file for your edit control... AddMode.Text "Adding Item" EditMode.Text "Editing Record" I hope this helps, Chuck R.
