Scripts and Event Handlers
Scripts and Event Handlers contain all the logic and code which execute when an Event is triggered.
You can build up a flow of steps to complete what you need to do, like write to a SQL Database, get a file, navigate to a different page, call a webservice, prompt the user to make a decision (message box) and do basic IF/Else programming. Here is a list of all actions currently available in Stadium that you can use in scripts.
Scripts can be created in 3 ways:
- Global Scripts
- Scripts for specific page Load events
- Scripts for specific controls
