Example: Returning a Show Table Page with Fresh Data using Page Redirection

A good example illustrating the concept of page redirection is adding an OK button to a page that refreshes the associated Show Table page to show updated (refreshed) data.

Step 1:  Create a page using the Application Wizard.

Step 2:  Select the page in the Application Explorer, open the Properties dialog and select the OKButton control.

Step 3:  Set these properties in the Properties dialog for the OKButton control.
