Set method arguments with solutionModel

Classic Servoy

I ran into this issue when using the solutionModel to create buttons/labels with onAction methods:

I created a form by using the solutionModel.
On this form I also put a few labels (defined from records in a table) with an onAction that contain a global method.
The global method need some arguments.

What I like to do is set arguments to the global method, but I can’t find a proper way to do that.
Uglyest way I can think of to do this is to get the global method code and replace the argument tags, but I’m sure there could be a much more nicer way to do this!

This would be a nice feature, if I may say so:

var jLabelMethod = solutionModel.getGlobalMethod('myGlobalMethod');
var jLabel = vMenuForm.newLabel(vLabelTxt,vXPos,vYPos,vWidth,vHeight,jLabelMethod,[event,[argument 1],[argument 2]]);

Anybody any tips?

I also had the same situation.
My solution was create a form method with solution model for each onAction of each label… and yes this wasn´t very nice hehe.
When you create the label you define the JSMethod, you aren´t calling the method so you aren´t setting the value of the arguments.
Maybe using the name property of the label to store some data and then getting it from the event argument could help you…
