Open Association in a browse window with Dialog

Support
#1

In the browse window i have a column which is pointing to a an association. With the entityPicker in the edit window i can chose, that the association window has to be opened as a dialog. How to do the same with this column ?

Dear Oleg

Thank you for your try. The solution you offer is not the same behaviour.

You see here the entitypicker which i can customise in the [entity].edit module, but not in the [entity].browse modul. I would like to open here too a DIALOG. How to adapt ?

Best regards

Felix

Use a generated column to create EntityPicker fields for cells.

#5 
public class OrdersBrowse extends StandardLookup<Orders>
{
	@Autowired
	private DataContext dataContext;

	@Autowired
	private UiComponents uiComponents;

	@Autowired
	private Metadata metadata;

	@Autowired
	private Actions actions;

	@Subscribe(id = "ordersesDc", target = Target.DATA_CONTAINER)
	public void onOrdersesDcItemChange(InstanceContainer.ItemChangeEvent<Orders> event) {
		dataContext.commit();
	}

	@Install(to = "ordersesTable.orderState", subject = "columnGenerator")
	private Component ordersesTableOrderStateColumnGenerator(final Orders orders) {
		EntityPicker<OrderState> picker = uiComponents.create(EntityPicker.class);
		picker.setMetaClass(metadata.getClass(OrderState.class));
		picker.setValue( orders.getOrderState() );
		picker.setWidth("160px");
		Action action = actions.create(EntityLookupAction.ID);
		picker.addAction(action);
		return picker;
	}
}

I did use a generated column.

Now how to set the openMode(DIALOG) ?

Try this:

EntityLookupAction action = (EntityLookupAction) actions.create(EntityLookupAction.ID);
action.setOpenMode(OpenMode.DIALOG);
