Navigate to UX from GRID with variables

[mikeallenbrown]

From a GRID I can open a UX, via a java-script action in a button on the GRID row, in a window and populate the UX's arguments with values from the current grid row. That works but what I really want is to navigate away from the GRID and to the UX while still populating the UX's arguments. I'm unsure how to go about doing this.

Mike... not sure what you'd like to do. Do you mean you want to navigate to another page from a Grid... rendering a UX... and load the data for that UX... based on a key from the Grid? You mention UX arguments... but do you mean arguments or controls? Because the UX has both.

And... in what context? Is this a web app?

Re: Navigate to UX from GRID with variables

Yes, this is a web app. No exactly loading the UX based on a key from the grid ....I'm taking a value from the grid, populating that value into my UX argument. That argument is then used to select a specific row in that UX's list.

That functionality works perfect using the "Open UX Component" action JS from my GRID, but, I don't want a pop-up window I want to navigate directly to the UX.

Does that make more sense? ...thanks David

Ok... I see it better now... thanks. It's not a UX Argument... is that right? You just want to click on a button on your Grid... passing a value... navigate to a page rendering a UX, and show a row in a List control as selected. If you are using a UX Argument... how is it set up?

Re: Navigate to UX from GRID with variables

Yes, I'm using a UX argument. In the UX's onDialogInitialize event I use the argument to determine what xbasic function to fire. The xbasic function populates my list. The list selection method is in that xbasic function. My current setup works fine using the "open UX component" action script in my GRID but it opens in a popup window. I want the same functionality but navigate away from the grid and to the UX.

Below is a screen shot of how my grid's button is setup. Red Arrow: No option to navigate to the UX (which is what I want)...only options are to open in a popup, DIV, or panel.

Re: Navigate to UX from GRID with variables

This may depend on how sensitive your argument data is. From your Grid button you can do this...

var currCustId = {grid.Object}.getValue('G','INVOICECUSTID',{Grid.RowNumber});
window.open('http://xxx.xxx.x.xx:81/AlphaTest/ux_Customers_List.a5w?currCustId=' + currCustId);

This passes as Request variable along with the call.

In your UX... Server-side, onDialogInitialize, you would process the Request variables

dim custId as n
custId = request.variables.currCustId
e.javascript = "setCustRow('"+custId+"');"

Here we grab the variable, and then call a Javascript function on return from the event.

function setCustRow(custId){

	var listObj = {dialog.object}.getControl('LIST1');
	listObj.setValue(custId);

}

Thanks David. I'll give it a shot!
