RadioButton	RadioButtonGroup_1
Dropdown	Dropdown_1
Button	Button_1, Button_2, Button_3

 

 

Radio Button Group Value:

id	Value

Add this below code in getBookmark()

var bookmarks = BookmarkSet_1.getAll(); 

Dropdown_1.removeAllItems();



var globalType = false;

if(type==="true"){

	globalType = true;

}



for (var i =0 ; i<bookmarks.length;i++){

	if(bookmarks[i].isGlobal === globalType){

		Dropdown_1.addItem(bookmarks[i].id,bookmarks[i].name);

	}

}



if(bookmarks.length>=1){

	Dropdown_1.setSelectedKey(bookmarks[0].id);

}

• setBookmarkCreate two Arguments, with return type void.

Argument Name	Type

Application.showMessage(ApplicationMessageType.Success,InputField_1.getValue()+" Bookmark Saved");

3. Add this all code inside all components mentioned below

• RadioButtonGroup_1

myBookmark.getBookmark(RadioButtonGroup_1.getSelectedKey());

• Button_1

myBookmark.setBookmark(InputField_1.getValue(),RadioButtonGroup_1.getSelectedKey());

myBookmark.getBookmark(RadioButtonGroup_1.getSelectedKey());

• Button_2

BookmarkSet_1.apply(Dropdown_1.getSelectedKey());

• Button_3

BookmarkSet_1.deleteBookmark(Dropdown_1.getSelectedKey());

Application.showMessage(ApplicationMessageType.Success,Dropdown_1.getSelectedText()+" Bookmark Deleted");

myBookmark.getBookmark(RadioButtonGroup_1.getSelectedKey());

In the case of multiple components or filters, we have to save our application states multiple times, so bookmarking is the best way to save multiple states quickly.
