Does this new page need to display 3 panels that show a single record in each or do the panels need to display grids. The example you have shown display single records in a grid.

Are you using ASP or .NET?

Do the three table share a context or foreign key or common parent? Are you drawing the data from a view that joins to the parent table?

Hi Jeff.

No. I'm only showing 1 record of each in my example.

It is showing a grid because each existing tab has a grid - yes, I want it to show grids.

ASP - I'm using an SQL select through a view - yes there is a common foreign key - yes the data is from a view that joins to the parent table.

Here is the list (common for each tab):

Here is the action (customfile - reg.asp) that I use in the tab group:

<%

ThisCompanyId = eWare.getContextInfo("Company","Comp_CompanyId");

block=eWare.GetBlock("CTSRegGrid");

eWare.AddContent(block.execute("Comp_CompanyId ="+ThisCompanyId));

Response.Write(eWare.GetPage());

%>

And here is the view that it picks from an external table:

Let me know what you think is best to do.

Thanks,

Stephan

I found this great article written by you: community.sagecrm.com/.../adding-a-new-panel-to-a-summary-screen-e-g-company-summary.aspx

Can I use the same logic except having a grid appear in the panel?

Maybe this is the solution.

Thoughts?

You can but Grids built by the standard COM API are trick objects with which to work. This is because they are drawn in forms (each named EntryForm) with navigation elements all called and structured the same.

If you consider the Company Quicklook screen, this has 3 Grids within it. This is actually pretty easy to rebuild using the .NET API. (community.sagecrm.com/.../displaying-multiple-list-blocks-using-the-net-api.aspx) - You may not be able to see this depending on your Community rights.

With the ASP COM API, Multiple List blocks are harder. See

community.sagecrm.com/.../displaying-multiple-list-blocks-using-the-asp-com-api.aspx

And mean that to get the result want you actually have to rebuild the lists at a much lower level. See

community.sagecrm.com/.../sage-crm-v7-1-sp2-updated-partial-rebuild-of-the-companyquicklook-screen-using-the-asp-api.aspx

You may find that displaying a single record as a 'screen' rather than a 'grid' is a much easier prospect.

Thank you for the references, Jeff! Such a big help.

Hi Jeff. I know its been a while since I posted a question to you.

However, I wanted to revisit this request.

You indicated in our last comm the following:

"If you consider the Company Quicklook screen, this has 3 Grids within it. This is actually pretty easy to rebuild using the .NET API."

Are you able to send to me an example of a new build?

Let me know,

Thanks,

Stephane

If you have access to the SDK you will find it in the Quicklook example project.

See: community.sagecrm.com/.../displaying-multiple-list-blocks-using-the-net-api.aspx

And to compare that with an approach in ASP

Perfect thanks.
