Can I open a dialog in a list view?Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi all,
Let's say i'm on Contact list view. I'm working on some advanced filtering functionality (on top of the standard OOB filtering). So, what i want to do is have a button on top of the standard filters called "Custom filtering", when the user clicks it I show a Dialog so the user can set the filtering criteria there.

Is this possible using standard SalesLogix functionality (i.e. Dialog Service)?

Thanks-

Yes, Dialog Service is available while on List mode.

And, if your dialog is associated with the page, it will be available.

Thanks Raul, as always you're there to help us poor developers.
So, if I add a button to the filters tasklet and on the onclick i code something like:

if (DialogService != null)
{

DialogService.SetSpecs(0, 0, 300, 600, "CustomFilters", "Custom Filters", true);
DialogService.ShowDialog();

}

It should work, right?

And another question, does the dialog need to be a quickform turned into smartpart, or can i just display a custom coded ascx control, i mean one created from scratch instead of from an slx form?

Thanks

You should be able to use either type.

Starting from a Quickform typically helps to get a framework in place, so I typically start that way and then modfiy it as needed.

Yes.

Just make sure that you add that dialog (CustomFilters) to whichever page you are going to be using this feature on.
