Hi,

I am working on a scout project where I have to open a table page from a menu. I can open form with menu option but I am unable to open table page with menu.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shweta Tiwari

If I understood your question correctly, you need to use a PageField in your form.

Then you need to add a page instance to your Field. In my case I just did this in the execLoad method of my FormHandler.

index.php/fa/15160/0/

PS: I added the PageField with the Scout SDK (in the Explorer view). The wizzard do not ask for a IPage Type for the Generic parameter "<T extends IPage>". I think that this is a mistake.

Here the corresponding code:
public class MyForm extends AbstractForm {

  public MyForm() throws ProcessingException {
    super();
  }

  public CancelButton getCancelButton() {
    return getFieldByClass(CancelButton.class);
  }

  public void startModify() throws ProcessingException {
    startInternal(new ModifyHandler());
  }

  public MainBox getMainBox() {
    return getFieldByClass(MainBox.class);
  }

  public OkButton getOkButton() {
    return getFieldByClass(OkButton.class);
  }

  public PageBox getPageBox() {
    return getFieldByClass(PageBox.class);
  }

  @Order(10.0)
  public class MainBox extends AbstractGroupBox {

    @Order(10.0)
    public class PageBox extends AbstractPageField<CompanyTablePage> {
    }

    @Order(20.0)
    public class OkButton extends AbstractOkButton {
    }

    @Order(30.0)
    public class CancelButton extends AbstractCancelButton {
    }
  }

  public class ModifyHandler extends AbstractFormHandler {

    @Override
    public void execLoad() throws ProcessingException {
      CompanyTablePage page = new CompanyTablePage();
      getPageBox().setPage(page);
    }
  }
}

Hi Jeremie,

Thanks for the quick response. Actually I don't want a separate page or form...I need the table page on the main window itself. Its the same way like we open a child page by double clicking on the table page. I want to open the table page on the main window itself after clicking on menu option.

Kindly let me know if this can be done.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Shweta

Hi Shweta

Thank you for the request. I assume you are trying to activate a certain tablepage from a menu or similar. To do so have a look at the Bookmark API.

As an example:
Bookmark bm = new Bookmark();
// outline
bm.setOutlineClassName(StandardOutline.class.getName());
// invisible root node page !!the class name must be inserted as a string with Kepler!!
NodePageState invisibleRootNodeState = new NodePageState();
invisibleRootNodeState.setPageClassName("org.eclipse.scout.rt.client.ui.desktop.outline.AbstractOutline$InvisibleRootPage");
invisibleRootNodeState.setExpanded(true);
bm.addPathElement(invisibleRootNodeState);
// a node page
NodePageState childNodePageState = new NodePageState();
childNodePageState.setPageClassName(ChildNodePage.class.getName());
childNodePageState.setExpanded(true);
bm.addPathElement(childNodePageState);
// a table page with a selected value !! ensure to mark the column as primary key !!!
TablePageState personsTablePageState = new TablePageState();
personsTablePageState.setExpanded(true);
personsTablePageState.setPageClassName(PersonsTablePage.class.getName());
personsTablePageState.setExpandedChildPrimaryKey(new CompositeObject(2l));
personsTablePageState.setSelectedChildrenPrimaryKeys(Arrays.asList(new CompositeObject[]{new CompositeObject(2l)}));
bm.addPathElement(personsTablePageState);

// a sub node of the persons table page
NodePageState companyNodePage = new NodePageState();
companyNodePage.setExpanded(true);
companyNodePage.setPageClassName(ChildNodePage.class.getName());
bm.addPathElement(companyNodePage);

// a table page under the 
TablePageState companiesTablePageState = new TablePageState();
companiesTablePageState.setExpanded(true);
companiesTablePageState.setPageClassName(CompaniesTablePage.class.getName());
bm.addPathElement(companiesTablePageState);

// activation of the bookmark
ClientSession.get().getDesktop().activateBookmark(bm, true);


Hope that helps
Andreas

Thank you for this example.

I have started a wiki page for bookmarks (in general):
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Scout/Concepts/Bookmark

This is work in progress.
