Method Details

getArguments
Object[] getArguments ()
Gets the argument array for this method if that is set for the specific action this method is taken from.
Will return null by default. This is only for reading, you can't alter the arguments through this array,
for that you need to create a new object through solutionModel.wrapMethodWithArguments(..) and assign it again.

Returns

Object[] - Array of the arguments, null if not specified.

Sample

var frm = solutionModel.getForm("myForm");
var button = frm.getButton("button");
// get the arguments from the button.
// NOTE: string arguments will be returned with quotes (comp.onAction.getArguments()[0] == '\'foo\' evals to true)
var arguments = button.onAction.getArguments();
if (arguments && arguments.length > 1 && arguments[1] == 10) {
	// change the value and assign it back to the onAction.
	arguments[1] = 50;
	button.onAction = solutionModel.wrapMethodWithArguments(button.onAction,arguments);
}
