Okay so I'm new to programming within adobe acrobat. Im trying to execute a function once the ok button is clicked in the dialog box.

the button is created in json.

which it looks like

{
type: "ok",
ok_id: "SubButton",
ok_name: "Submit",
value: Submint(),
alignment: "align_right",
}

I have no Idea how to even attempt this ive tried googling but coming very short all the time.

Well, you need a whole dialog object definition and a script to make that work. Is this just a slice of you're complete code?

There are two functions you can define in the Dialog Object that are run after the OK button is pressed, commit and validate. However, you may want to run your function after the dialog exits with a status code of "ok" rather then on the ok button itself.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

You'll find an online dialog object designer (paid for), as well as examples, and some video tutorials on creating dialogs, Here:
