How to use one pop up window for multiple buttons and input fields?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have created a pop up window that will be opened from multiple buttons in the same view. There are input fields that the data will be populated from a pop up window. How can I set up which button that a pop up window is opened from? I also would like to populate the data from a pop up window to the input field next to a clicked button. There are 6 buttons and 6 input fields that share the same pop up window. I would very appreciate your responses.

Thank you,

Don

You can also launch event from your actions buttons and catch them in the parent window.

NGUYEN VAN THAN clement is right.

The pop-up window must RAISE and EVENT with the right return ID parameters.

Thanks for all of your responses.

I created a context attribute say "ButtonClicked" for example and mapped it with a controller, a parent view, and a popup view. Each button has its own action but opens the same popup view. In the wdDoInit of the popup view, I set the value of a ButtonClicked attribute according to the button that I click. For example, if I clicked on button A, I set it to "A". Then the event handler of the parent view, I check what value of "ButtonClicked" is. If ButtonClicked == "A" then populate Input field A.

Hi,

Try creating 2 context attributes, one in your component controller and the other in the pop-up view. Bind the attribute of pop-up view to the component controller attribute.

In the main view, on click of every button set a unique code in the controller's context which helps you in identifying the button clicked. Since u have created a binding to the pop-up view attribute the value flows from the controller.

In the init method of your pop-up view, check the value of the attribute and based on that display which ever UI elements are required.

Eg:

On Button 1 click set value "B1", Button 2 value "B2" etc. In the init() of pop-up view u can check the values and perform the required operation:

if(("B1").wdContext().currentContextElement().getButtonIdentifier()){

}

else...{

}

Hope this helps you.
