Hello Chuck,
Actually that is what I ended up doing right now. Handling the actions in EMRecipientAjaxGridCell which works fine.
The reason I wanted the action to be handled in the parent is that, I have quite a few grids. Each grid has different EO models. Each model can be deleted/updated from the grid directly. On "Update", the user is taken to the "update" page for that particular model/item. On "Delete" taken to a confirmation page of that model/item. ... etc.
So, I wanted to avoid repeatedly writing cell components like EMRecipientAjaxGridCell for each kind of grid. (I'm kind of lazy ;) ). Am I making sense? (besides the lazy part) ;)

I did get to keep the pieces. Most notably a stacktrace :)
I was not really expecting that. I've had that happen to me before, but I don't recall what caused it.
Why do you need to process the action in Main? Why can't EMRecipientAjaxGridCell handle the action itself? Is it missing some information? Is the action too specific and this component too general? Supply some more details and I will see if I can find a solution for you.

Hello Amiel;
I think I understand your question; you have a component in which you want the action to be fired on the parent component? Try to use the "^" as in;
^goDelete
This will invoke the method "goDelete" in the parent component.
The problem here is that components are inserted into AjaxGrid cells via WOSwitchComponent and the only bindings are:
ColumnValue: WOSwitchComponent {
WOComponentName = columnComponentName;
value = columnValue;
grid = thisComponent;
}
This situations requires a little trickery or a different design. grid.parent should return the component that holds the grid. So you can do grid().parent().performActionNamed("foo"), but it if breaks you get to keep the pieces. :-)
Chuck
cheers.
The reason I asked this is that I wanted to embed the CRUD component to one of the cells in an AjaxGrid. and needed the "Delete" and "Update" action to be fired in the parent component of the AjaxGrid instead of the CRUD component. So the CRUD can be reusable.
