How do I get the pageId of a different page? ---

The page id is available in the page props. `{page.props.pageId}` You would need to send it to the popup as a parameter to be used in the `sendMessage()` function. However, a popup shouldn't change the page, so the current page should be enough to receive the message. ---

Thats what Im thinking, is it because my message handler is on the button component? ---

So I have view 'EditProduct'. In that view I have a button with message handler 'deleteProductHandler' with code ```auto def onMessageReceived(self, payload): # Get the selected row or rows. selRows = self.getSibling('Table').props.selection.data # Check to see that a row is actually selected. if len(selRows) > 0: txID = system.db.beginTransaction(timeout = 10000) # If the user gave confirmation, we need to loop through all of them. for row in selRows: # For each selected row, we need to get the value of the id column in that row. id = row["ProductID"] # Use the id of the row to delete it from the database table. system.db.runNamedQuery("SampleTestV2","Configurations/DeleteProduct", {"ID":id},tx = txID) # commit and close transaction system.db.commitTransaction(txID) system.db.closeTransaction(txID) self.getSibling("Status").props.text = "Successfully deleted" else: self.getSibling("Status").props.text = "Error: No row(s) selected" ``` The button has onActionPerformed which opens popup view 'ConfirmationPopup'. That view has button with code: ```auto messageType = 'deleteProductHandler' system.perspective.sendMessage(messageType,{}) ``` ---

How do you know it isn't running? A few things: 1. You're not doing anything to verify that the query was successful prior to calling commit on the transaction so do you even need a transaction? 2. If you do need a transaction, then you should be using `system.db.beginNamedQueryTransaction()` for use with a Named Query. I would place a `system.perspective.print("message handled")` as the first line in the script, to verify that the message is being sent and received. ---

I have already tried inserting a print statement on the first line. Nothing prints. I use a transaction, so all the deletes go through before deleting. ---

I added this ```auto self.get.Sibling('Status').props.text = "TEXT" ``` So this proves it does not make it to the message handler. ---

Are you testing this in a browser or in the designer? There are differences that come into play sometimes. ---

It is stopping at TEXT1.1 - It is not running the named query and leaving the loop ```auto def onMessageReceived(self, payload): self.getSibling('Status').props.text = "TEXT" # Get the selected row or rows. selRows = self.getSibling('Table').props.selection.data # Check to see that a row is actually selected. if len(selRows) > 0: # If the user gave confirmation, we need to loop through all of them. for row in selRows: self.getSibling('Status').props.text = "TEXT1" # For each selected row, we need to get the value of the id column in that row. id = row["ProductID"] self.getSibling('Status').props.text = "TEXT1.1" # Use the id of the row to delete it from the database table. system.db.runNamedQuery("SampleTestV2","Configurations/DeleteProduct", {"ID":id}) self.getSibling('Status').props.text = "TEXT2" self.getSibling('Status').props.text = "TEXT3" self.getSibling("Status").props.text = "Successfully deleted" else: self.getSibling("Status").props.text = "Error: No row(s) selected" ``` ---

Named queries must be different in message handlers because if I copy that code on a button it works and successfully deletes???:? ---

I am assuming that "SampleTestV2" is your project name. Try removing that, in theory you shouldn't need it in this scope.
