How to get handle of go, clear button in query region.

Question

Hi: I have a search page built using query region, I need to make an API (method) call on clicking on "Go" button.
I tried the following as found in OA Framework discussion forum, but observed that "go" is always true in processFormRequest method and always false in processRequest method.
I did check the methods of OASubmitButtonBean also, but unable to find out how exactly I get "the handle of go button click event" in this case to handle my requirement.
Any idea if its possible or not, and if yes, then how?
OAQueryBean queryBean = (OAQueryBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("QueryRN");
String idGo = queryBean.getGoButtonName();
OASubmitButtonBean go = (OASubmitButtonBean)queryBean.findChildRecursive(idGo );
I did also try to add my buttons in the query region, which work as I require, but in that case I need to hide existing go, clear buttons (which are added by default) in query region. That also doesn't work, as in processRequest method "go" is always false, and in processFormRequest I cannot call "go.setRendered(false);".
Also, button should be disabled even on first loading of page also. Can anyone help?
Regards,
Anvita.

modified code further as follows --
OAQueryBean queryBean = (OAQueryBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("QueryRN");
String idClear = queryBean.getClearButtonName();
OASubmitButtonBean clear = (OASubmitButtonBean)queryBean.findChildRecursive(idClear);
String idGo = queryBean.getGoButtonName();
OASubmitButtonBean go = (OASubmitButtonBean)queryBean.findChildRecursive(idGo);
System.out.println("I wish it works in +++++++++++++++++++++++++ " + idClear + " xxx " + idGo);
if (pageContext.getParameter("idGo") != null)
System.out.println("I wish it works in GO +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ");
if (pageContext.getParameter("idClear") != null)
System.out.println("I wish it works in Clear +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ");
if (pageContext.getParameter("go") != null)
System.out.println("I wish it works in GO button +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ");
if (pageContext.getParameter("clear") != null)
System.out.println("I wish it works in Clear button +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ");
if (go != null)
System.out.println("I wish it works in GO button direct +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ");
if (clear != null)
System.out.println("I wish it works in Clear button direct +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ");
=============================================
and output print is always the following even if i click on button or not (like select some LOV, or perform PPR action) .. hence it doesn't allow me to catch go button click event .. Please advice ..
output PRINT --
I wish it works in +++++++++++++++++++++++++ clearButton xxx customizeSubmitButton
I wish it works in GO button direct +++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wish it works in Clear button direct +++++++++++++++++++++++++
