SOS...thrown into SLX Web 7.5, Need some pointers.Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Sometimes in the life of a consultant you get thrown to the fire. We haven't done much SalesLogix web at all, and suddenly..out of nowhere...I get to do something on Web 7.5
I'm doing my reading from the Application Architect help file - I think that's the only way to ramp up? It is a quick engagement....and here's what I need to do.

1. Create a stand alone button in the toolbar to start an entity-less form that will serve as a lookup view.
2. The form will have a few search fields and a grid. Type something in, hit search....show values in the grid. User clicks the grid and heads over to the record. Very easy to do in SLX thick...have lots of experience on it...but SLX Web 7.5 is a whoooooooole new beast to learn in a few days.

What I need are some pointers on where to start, maybe some code samples if you have any.
1. I have created the entity-less form.
2. I don't have a clue on how to place the button on the toolbar.
3. Need sample code to close the form and head over to the entity....when the user double clicks on a record on the grid.

SOS!

Thanks in advance.

OK Lemme narrow down my questions a bit. I was able to create the toolbar button.

I'm now trying to create the grid. is the datagrid datasource a mashup? Any tutorials out there on this?

Edit: Never mind...I found this link http://customerfx.com/pages/crmdeveloper/2009/04/02/filtering-a-datagrid-in-saleslogix-web-at-runtime.aspx
Let me see if I can get it working...

The article is about filtering a grid based on properties from the entity... so its a bit different from what you are trying to achieve - filtering a grid based on unbound controls on the form. The way I do it... being familiar with ASP.NET... is go down to that level, remembering that the Saleslogix datagrid is essentially an ASP.NET gridview. This may not be the optimal approach if you have no experience at all with ASP.NET... but on the bright side there are a lot more tutorials on that subject, than on Saleslogix!

There is a book by Stephen Redmond - "Devlogix V" (http://www.cafepress.com/devlogixshop.309873886) which will walk you throuh some of the How To's. That would be a good one to start with.. (Again, it also talks more about entity related things)
I have had a reasonably good search on the web and there's no much material available on Saleslogix Web other than the one we are currently in, http://customerfx.com etc.
