# Set up control event procedure - Button

For a control of type **Button**, set up a control event procedure with actions that are done in a specific sequence. A control event procedure has one action or a series of actions that are done on the On button clicked control event. So, the procedure is started if the button is clicked.

Use the **Up** and **Down** buttons to define the action sequence.

Optionally, you can run an action under specific conditions. For conditions, you can use functions and variables that are available for the application or form.

### Steps

1. Click **Mobility design**.
2. Click the **Forms** tab.
3. In the list, find and select the desired record.
4. Click **Edit**.
5. On the preview, click the desired button control.

6. On the **Properties** tab, next to the **On button clicked procedure** field, click the **Edit 'On button clicked' procedure (+)** button.

8. Sub-task: Fill in parameters.

  2. For each action, the relevant parameters are defined in the action class. Each action can have a different set of parameters.

Usually, these are input or output parameters. For these parameters, you can define the value. Only define a value for the parameters that are applicable to the event procedure.

Sometimes, an action has a different type of parameters or no parameters.

In the **Value** field, you can use a variable, a function, or a fixed value. In this step, as an example, you enter a variable.

On the **Parameters** tab, in the **Value** field, enter or select a value.

> If the parameter is of type enum, and you define a fixed value, you can only select an enum as defined for the parameter.
