Hi all,
I am working on Adobe lifecycle designer 7.1 to generate a form.on the generation time i design a button in body pages.
My query is that when i click on that button a event generates i want to know the process of that event and how to handle that event.

HI Sanket,
I believe you want to capture the event triggered when a button is clicked in a PDF form.You can write your script using the script editor in the Life cycle designer, for events triggered by UI elements. First enable your script editor by navigating to Window-->Script Editor and select it.
While designing your form when you add a button to the form, selcet the button and and in the drop down in the area above the form, which says Show:Events with scripts, selct the event on click.You can select the language as Form CAlc or Javascript.
If on click of button you want add a subform, add a button to the form.Add a subform under the default form, form1.
For example, i add a sub form formDyn.
Now, select the button and for the event *click, write the Javascript code as:
var df = formDyn._txForm.addInstance(1);
You can add elements in this subform and set values for them on click of button.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
