Opening different tables from 1 table

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a table that I am retrieving from the backend through an RFC. After I get this, I need to get details through another table. The problem is:

I have to retrieve different tables based on the selected items in a particular row.i.e If I have 3 coulumn attributes in a particular row of the table, on select of any 1 of these column attributes for a particular row I need to be able to retrieve 3 different tables.

I know to get a single table on select of a row, but here I need to select different tables through column elements of the same row(like links)!

How can I do this?

thanks

hi Sunil,

You can use linktoaction UI element as tablecell editor.

Create the table dynamically.

For each of the columns create linktoactionelements with diffferent ids

IWDLinkToAction linktoaction_dep = (IWDLinkToAction)view.createElement(IWDLinkToAction.class,"link"+i+";"+<attribute name>);
	linktoaction_dep.bindText("<node name>."	+<attribute name>);

Create an action and link the link to action UI element like this.Send the id as a parameter.

	IWDAction onClickName = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getAction("onClickName");				
	linktoaction_dep.setOnAction(onClickName);
	linktoaction_dep.mappingOfOnAction().addParameter("name",linktoaction_dep.getId());
	column.setTableCellEditor(linktoaction_dep);

In the action write

[/code]

StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(name,";");

String rem = st.nextToken();

String attribute name = st.nextToken();

[/code]

Once you get the attribute name in the action you can differenciate the clicked column

Hope this helps you

Please revert for details

Or simpler:

Create 3 table columns A,B,C <b>at designtime</b> in the view designer, use LinkToAction as cell editor.

Define an action "ColumnLinkActivated" with a parameter "column" : string, attach this action to each LinkToAction.onAction event.

In wdDoModifyView(), define a parameter mapping for each LinkToAction, that allows to identify the containing table column after a link has been activated:

if (firstTime)
{
  IWDLinkToAction linkA = (IWDLinkToAction)
    view.getElement("<ID of link in column A>");
  linkA.mappingOfOnAction().addParameter("column", "A");

  IWDLinkToAction linkB = (IWDLinkToAction)
    view.getElement("<ID of link in column B>");
  linkB.mappingOfOnAction().addParameter("column", "B");
  
  IWDLinkToAction linkC = (IWDLinkToAction)
    view.getElement("<ID of link in column C>");
  linkC.mappingOfOnAction().addParameter("column", "C");
}

In the action handler implementation:

void onColumnLinkActivated(..., String column)
{
  if ("A".equals(column))
  {
    link in column A has been activated
  }
  else if ("B".equals(column))
  {
    ...
  }
  else
  {
    ...
  }
}

Sunil,

Why not to use LinkToAction cell editor then?
