Thread: Changing Details View Form Dynamically

Changing Details View Form Dynamically Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Aiming to find some help on this matter after many failed attempts and ideas. Recently we've developed differing styles of opportunities for different product groups, so if the product type is A then we display 20 specific fields, if the product is B we display these other 15 fields. Using panels and layering/setting visibility has worked so far but the different views turned out so wildly popular we're starting to have trouble (bouth in finding forms and the quantity of SQL traffic). We came up with 2 potential solutions, first would be hijacking the middle panel and swapping the form displayed on there while keeping common fields in the Opps Details form, second would be swapping the DetailsView form before it's opened to a specific form. The second option would be the best, but if either is possible and anybody knows a way to go about doing this it would be greatly appreciated if you could pass me some advice.

I've been desperately trying to get at and change via script the "ViewName" property of the DetailsView control on the Opportunity Details main view with absolutely no success.

-----

Some failed attempts under Opportunity Details Main View Form Open event (and many other combinations of the three

):

-Sender.DetailsView.ViewName("Personal:AdminOppManagement")
-View.DetailsView.PluginName = "Personal:AdminOppManagement"
-Sender.DetailsView.PluginID("p6UJ9A001B28")

Is it even possible to change this value?

I have no idea how to swap out a Main Detail Form from the Forms collection/MainView collection at run time. Wouldn't even attempt to do it.

15 different 'views': use a Tab Control. Put each group of controls in their own panel. Place the panel in a different tab control. AXFORMCHANGE set the ActiveIndex to the corresponding Product Group. possibly you could use the Product Group Picklist Order/ID value as the tab control index number.....

This was an option we looked at, it cleans up the layout of controls very well in architect but still leaves us with a tangled 3600 line script and runs enough SQL make any developer cringe.

Finding a way to split that all up is what we desperately need, pop-ups and forms for under the tabs panel of the view didn't garnish much appreciation from my user base.
