Using Form action buttons in Ext.nd

[Balaji Vaddepalli]

Hi All,

I am new to this Ext.nd.

I have an question on LN form action buttons,

I am converting my existing Lotus notes application to Web enabled using EXT.Nd, Can anyone suggest me

Can we use the same action buttons which are created in LN and if possible how can we get the handle of the buttons?

Is the hidewhen properties of buttons will work in Ext.nd?

thanks in advance...

yes, you can use the same action buttons. The hidewhen properties work but hidewhen formulas do not unless you set the 'createActionsFrom' to 'document' and this only works for documents and forms but not views.

Hi

thank you for your reply..
Where do I set 'createActionsFrom' to 'document' ?

you can set this property on your instance of the Ext.nd.UIDocument class and it will be passed on to the Ext.nd.Actionbar instance that gets created.

example:



Ext.onReady(function() {
var uidoc = new Ext.nd.UIDocument({
createActionsFrom : 'document',
layout : 'fit',
autoScroll : true
});
uidoc.render();
});

I got error in the IE browser after adding this line.

createActionsFrom : 'document'

and if you remove this line then it loads? (but without the actionbar?)

[alan95_00]

Yes, the Ext.nd form will load after removed the line. But the hidden properties of buttons will not work any more.

Thank you very much!!!!

Thank you very much!!!!

hmm, I'm not having any issues with my databases when using the createActionsFrom property. Can you email me a blank database with just this form and it's actions so I can try to isolate the problem? You can email me at jack at extnd dot net.

Thanks!
