Is there a way to add a custom button to the action section of the apex:enhancedlist?
Thanks
Frank
Frank,
To my knowledge you cannot create an <apex:commandbutton> from which you can invoke controller actions, however you can create a 'Custom Buttons and Links' style button from the setup menu. If you go to the Custom Buttons and Links section for the sObject that you are feeding to the type attribute of your enchanced list, you can create a button whose display type is 'List Button'. Then it will show up on any enhanced list component of that sObject type. As I mentioned, you can't invoke a controller action, but you can navigate to an arbitrary URL, display a Visualforce page, or run arbitrary javascript that way. Hope that help you.

I wanted to display a custom field as Read-Only on the Edit page ONLY of a custom object. This field should be hidden on the detail page. I tried wrapping the field in a section and display the section in Edit Page only(Page layout editor). That didn't work. I don't want to create a custom visual force page for the EDIT Page. Please suggest.
Thanks
Kumar
Unfortunately, there's no way to put a field on just edit or just detail. It's both or neither.
You have two options, custom Visualforce page as an Edit override is the easiest one, but if you want to leave the page layout editor as something useful to admins, there's also a very hacky option...
Create two record types, one that displays the field and one that doesn't. Create a new button that launches a Flow (with a return URL of the edit page for that object). The Flow should change the object's recordtype to the one that displays the field. Additionally, create a Process or trigger that changes the recordtype back to the one that does not display the trigger after you save the object.
I definitely recommend the VF page...
I am working on AngularJS and Bootstrap. I am new to both. I wanted to create one form which include firstname input textbox,lastname input textbox , city dropdown and add button called addUser.
When I click the add user button it should be saved in our database and then displayed in below grid with edit and delete button. When I click the edit button, all record comes under above corresponding textbox. I have gone through below link but i didn't get my scenario implementation, in that they used xeditable.

Here is an form example made with angular link
Basicly you need to create a controller. In your controller create a user object, bind this object properties to form contollers with ng-model. When user clicks a button send user object to a method in your controller, add ng-click to your buttons. In your functions, you can do create, edit, delete actions.
Please refer the link and check the highlighted keywords, this must cover all of your needs.
I need to hide a CQ component from the page, when I select a particular value from another components dialog. Is this possible using ExtJS?
Yes, it is possible, but without more info it is difficult to give more details. In general, you can look up the xtypes you are using in your dialog at http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/widgets-api/index.html. Find the events that are available for the xtypes you are using in the dialog, then add a listener for one of the events exposed by that xtype. That allows you to run your own JavaScript code in response to an event--and that code could do things like hide HTML DOM elements.
Here is an example of using a listener to add custom functionality in response to an event: http://cq.shishank.info/2011/12/20/adding-limit-to-multifiled/

I have a scenario and i ma getting no where:
I am having 20 record and i m using pagination via standartcontroller and my page size is 1.
one by one record are displayed on the screen and i am having a list or radio button to select options.
When user select a radio button i am getting its value and fill a map with record,value for some processing.
What i want to do is that when a user hits back button the option he has selected in radio button must be visible there. But its not coz every time i m filling new values in the radiobutton list so old values are not sustained.
What i want is when user hits back button he should be able to see the old radio button selected.
How can i achive this:
1.Is there any way to make a radio button list's values be checked through controller.
2.Do I need to use wrapperclass to do this.
Help needed.! Thanks
It will be easier to put this field into object. If you don't have such field in you sObject than I would suggest to create wrapper class in your controller and display list of this wrappers instead of your native sObject.
If your radio button field is already part of the object, then there's no need for a wrapper class, but if the radio button doesn't need to be part of the object then use a wrapper class to keep the object simple.
Check out this example of a wrapper class with check boxes.
Wrapper classes don't have to be complex.
I was wondering if there is a way to override the native functionality of the lookup field in Salesforce and replace it with a visualforce page. The reason I'm trying to override this button is because when the user does a look up, the look up returns everybody with that name. What we want to return is a list of all the contacts by account for the contact being searched.
Here's what I'm trying to achieve:
When the user clicks the lookup button my visualforce page will launch and allow the user to see the account and all the contacts of that account.
Is this even possible? What other ways would you suggest going about this?
Here's a screen shot of what I'm trying to change:
Thanks for all your help!
It sounds really like you just need to customise the columns on the lookup to make it better suited to your needs. If you go to Setup -> Customize -> Contacts -> Search Layouts, you'll see entries for Lookup Dialogs and Lookup Phone Dialogs, there you can edit the columns displayed in the lookup windows.
If you really need a custom solution:
You can't override the lookup page itself, but you could create a new visualforce page for your account, using <apex:detail> and other similar tags to make your life simpler. Then you could include a search section underneath, where a user can enter various search terms which you put into a dynamic SOQL query and then render the results for them to choose from.
yeah its possible by javascript as i did by visual force page that will show the records of related lists and upon selection id of that record passed to parent window by jscipt. and performed same functionality ..
As far as I know - NO.
As a workaround you can use JavaScript.
What we did in our situation? We implement everything in JavaScript. We created an inputText and right on the right of this inputText we placed image with this lookup icon. On image click we create ExtJS popup window (I think you can simply create VF page and show this page in popup window). After window was closed you fill in the inputText field.
There's no out-of-the-box override for this button, last I checked, so something custom would be required. If you're set on having a popup and do not want an inline solution, I'd recommend reviewing this tutorial to get familiar with some of the issues with popups in Visualforce.
But considering what you are looking to accomplish, you could also have your account and filtered list of all contacts associated with that account appear inline on your page when the user clicks a new, custom search button. Of course that page would itself be in Visualforce (or inline Visualforce in a standard page layout) - which you may or may not want to have to code and maintain.
The AJAX Toolkit might also be a good place to start if you want to go with a custom JavaScript button placed on a standard page layout.
