Rerender command button on the main page from a modal panel

[dhivyast]

Hi,

I have a modal panel which is called from my main page(mergerDealInformation.xhtml)  as below

<a4j:commandButton id="btnTrigger" value="Trigger events" reRender="eventSummary" action="#{summaryControllerBean.populateSummaryDetails}"

    oncomplete="#{rich:component('eventSummary')}.show()" status="eventStatus">

<ui:include src="eventsSummary.xhtml"/>

</a4j:commandButton>

In my modal panel eventsSummary.xhtml , i have a command button "Confirm" , on clicking on this command button i need to rerender 2 command buttons on main page ,i.e the button btnTrigger should be disabled. How do i do this?

Kindly help me out

Divya,

You just need to give reRender="btnTrigger (id of the buttons you want to rerender or id of the parent container)" for your Confirm button. Keep a backend variable for the btnTrigger to check whether it is disabled, say,  disabled="#{yourBean.isDisabledBtnTrigger}" and you have to set status of this vaiable on click of your "Confirm" button. In case it is not working, keep modal panel and parent pages in a seperate forms and try.
