How does one Component access another Component via Component Interface ?

Question

Folks,
Hello. I have developed my project as 2 Components ( A and B). I have created a Search Record and a Component Interface for each Component.
Now, a push button in a page in Component A needs to access all pages in Component B via its Component Interface. What are the steps to do for Component A to access Component B via their Component Interface ?
Thanks.

You could define the PeopleCode to make the Component Interface work on the FieldChange event of that push button you were talking about, but it would be better to put your PeopleCode in a Save event. To do that, you would use the DoSaveNow() function on the button's FieldChange event. Then, that would trigger a save, and you could put your code on the SavePostChange of any field or on the Component itself.
Once you decide on an event, the easiest way to start is to open the blank PeopleCode window. Also, place the Component Interface in your project. Next, drag the Component Interface from the Project and drop it into your PeopleCode editor window. This will generate a bunch of PeopleCode that you can use as a starting place.
The Component Interface allows you to remote control a component as if your code were a user sitting at the Browser. So, when coding the program that uses the Component Interface, you have to have that mindset. It helps me to open a browser and walk through what I want my code to do. Then, I code each step as I do it online.
There is probably a lot more that you need to know, but is this a good starting point? Is it somewhat on track with what you were asking? Let me know were to go from here with more information.
