problem in using hiOpenWindow with forms

omarahmed

Hi 

I am using the function hiOpenWindow  to create a from, but I face a problem the problem is,
when I  use the hiOpenWindow to show the form the "buttonLayout" which are defined as part of the form using the function hiCreateAppForm, are missed so I have a window with no buttons like OK cancel help and some other customized button 

is there a way to get the buttonLayout back inside the window?

below is some pseudocode

buttonLayout = list( 'OKCancelApply
list( 'customizedButton strcat("customizedButton(....)") )
)

form = hiCreateAppForm(........

?buttonLayout buttonLayout ]

)

hiOpenWindow( ?type "form"

                               ?form form
                             );

  • Your subsequent post chasing a response to the above seems to have been lost in the web site update last week. However, if something is urgent, you should go via customer support, not post here.

    The simple answer is that you will need to create buttons on your form if you want such buttons on a Window form (using hiCreateButton). Essentially there are two styles of form - normal forms (which have buttons but are essentially transient windows) and window forms (which have menus and no buttons at the bottom - they're intended more for applications that stay open for a while).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
