Invoking a custom class with a button

Hi,

I have a custom apex class (which works properly when executed anonymously through the IDE) and would like to be able to invoke the class with the click of a button on a visual force page.  I have a feeling it's really simply, but i just can't seem to figure it out.

 

Here's what I have so far:

 

 

<apex:page >
<apex:enhancedList type="SPC_Settings__c" height="358" rowsPerPage="10" id="SPCSettings" />
<apex:form >
<br />
<apex:commandButton style="float:right;" action="sforce.apex.execute('SPCSettingsUpdate',{},{}" value="Update" id="btnUpdate" />
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

my suggestion, but you will still need to make mods to get the controller to initialize and the action may need a parameter

 

<apex:page   controller="SPCSettingsUpdate" >
<apex:enhancedList type="SPC_Settings__c" height="358" rowsPerPage="10" id="SPCSettings" />
<apex:form >
<br />
<apex:commandButton style="float:right;" action="{!Update}" id="btnUpdate" />
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

So in the above case is update just the name of a function within the class?
