How do I use custom triggers?

[tothewine]

I am adding a custom button to a view (in /modals/duplicate.js) and would like to trigger a custom event to be handled by the parent code (/record/detail.js) that subscribes to it.

In my button's click handler I do this:

this.trigger('customEvent');

In the parent view I did

[FONT=courier new]this.listenToOnce(view, 'customEvent', function () {/*... code ... */}[/FONT]

But it did not work. Is there some documentation I am missing?

Make sure that view is defined
and u can try
view.on('customEvent',function(){/*... code ... */} )

Thanks, the view is defined since I was just adding to espo's original code in record/detail.js. I will try the "view.on()" method.
