Hi all!

When working with the MiniCRM tutorial I was asking me if I can have a page containing a form?

Starting with a "Company Table Page" followed by a "Company Details Node Page" containing "Person Table Page" and when selecting a person here, can I open a child page with a "Person Form" to edit the person's data? Opening a form as a dialog window is easy...

I tried with an AbstractPage disabling the table and setting a detail form but wasn't successful. Is this the right direction to investigate or the completely wrong way?

Thanks in advance...

Stefan

Are you looking how to add a form in a view ?
See the screenshot on the form page

If I understood your question correctly, you have an Outline based application.
When the page is selected in the page tree in the main window, you want to open this form.

Is this instead of the TablePage or NodePage content (on the left) ? In this case, having a kind of AbstractPageWithForm is a good idea.
Or do you want to open a second form (like the search form at the bottom of the page content) ? In this case, you can use a "page with node" or "page with table" and use one of the event (exec****()) to display the additional Form as view.

Hi Jeremie,

thanks for your answer. I'm working on a precise wording... Wink

Yes, it is an outline based application (the minicrm tuorial) and AbstractPageWithForm is the pattern I am looking for.

Any hint welcome...

Try this:
PersonNodePage:
  @Override
  protected boolean getConfiguredTableVisible() {
    return false;
  }

  @Override
  protected void execPageActivated() throws ProcessingException {
    if (getDetailForm() == null) {
      PersonDetailForm form = new PersonDetailForm();
      form.setPersonNr(getPersonNr());
      setDetailForm(form);
      form.startView();
    }
  }

  @Override
  protected void execPageDeactivated() throws ProcessingException {
    if (getDetailForm() != null) {
      getDetailForm().doClose();
      setDetailForm(null);
    }
  }


This works for Eclipse 3.8 featured with Scout from the Indigo update site.

In order of BUG 385618 in E4 it does not work for Eclipse 4.X.

Hi there

Since the wiki does not seem to contain any information on this topic I created the following page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Scout/Concepts/Page_Detail_Form

Feel free to complement it.

Hi!

Thank you both for answering. Got it working easily with this information. Especially thanks to Claudio for the clearifying background information in the wiki.
