Region Shaded in the Structure Viewer

Question

Hi all,
I am starting with the OA framework and I am confused as the way to proceed to do some modifications. I am working on the application EAM on the specific page EAM_EW_START_PAGE. On that page, a button was added using personilization its use is to launch a custom report. Now i am trying to add the button from here and attach it a custom logic so we can save some steps in the production of the report.
My questions are the main region of the page is shaded like it is in a read only state (the region is WOSearchResultsRG) I am wondering is it due to the fact that a personalization was done on it or another reason which i don't know?
And where are the modification saved in personalization saved?
Best Regards,
Carl

So you want a button, the click of which would complete all the seven steps and submit the report.
Frankly you need a submitButton and not a button because you need to handle the event and invoke the methods in the AM. So I would suggest to create a submit button dynamically in your processRequest. Thereafter you can handle this button click in the processFormRequest.
Please find the following snippet to get some idea:
ProcessRequest:
//Get the handle of the region where you want to create the submit button first
OAFlowLayoutBean tableFlowBean = (OAFlowLayoutBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("<BeanName>");
if(tableFlowBean!=null)
//Create the button now
OASubmitButtonBean subBtnBean = (OASubmitButtonBean)createWebBean(pageContext,OAWebBeanConstants.BUTTON_SUBMIT_BEAN,null,null);
if(subBtnBean!=null)
//Set the Properties now
subBtnBean.setText("<Prompt>");
subBtnBean.setFireActionForSubmit("<someEventName>",null,null,true);
ProcessFormRequest:
if("<someEventName>".equals(pageContext.getParameter("event")))
///Logic to invoke all the seven steps.
}
