How to call a POPUP search window from a tableu00B4s cell (NOT LINK TO ACTION)

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have this situation, i need to show as a POPUP a search window from a table's cell, this cell must be an inputfield or any similar kind. I know for something that i read, that this could be done with linktoaction UI, but i don't want to use that because when i select my data result in the search window, this lead selection must appear in the main table. Plis if any of you guys know how to do this or if you have some documentation blogs or whatever information that could help me. that would be great!!!!. I´ll wait for you replies THIS ISSUE IS URGENT!!

Thanx in advance,

MC

InputField has an event "onEnter". In that event handler write your code to display the popup window.

You set the leadselection to the what ever row you want from your code.

//assuming that context node bind to Main table is "MainTable" and i is the row number
wdContext.nodeMainTable().setLeadSelection(i);

Hi,

What you might have seen should be either an EVS or OVS.

if you you bind InputField "value" to contextAttribute of type "date", then calender control will be displayed next to the InputField. Otherwise it might be either EVS or OVS as pointed by Ayyapparaj.

Sorry for lingo!

EVS - Extended Value Selector - which display kind of popup window with two columns table.

OVS - Object Value Selector - Most flexible(requires more coding) that displays window with input filed and results into table below that. On selecting the row, you write to copy fields back to main application.

If you search with those names in SDN, you will get good documents
