Opening a Form in a popup window

Hi,
What's the easiest way to open a Form in a popup window? Do I use Javascript or is there another way? Is there a documented example either in Technet or Metalink?
Thanks,

Open a Form in a popup window from a PL/SQL portlet

Hi,
I have a form that I want to open in a popup window from a URL in a PL/SQL portlet. What is the easiest way to do this? Are there any examples in here or on Metalink as to how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Steve West

Is it a HTML page somewhere on a server with a HTML form on it? You can use javascript tags in ur link to do this maybe?
javascript:window.open('http://<server name>/page.htm','mywindow','width=400,height=200')
Obviously if this is a portal form you can also link directly to the show procedure no problems.

Opening a form in a new window issue

Hi..
I have this requirement where I have this page(say XYZPG.xml) which contains a table which is auto populated based on a particular setWhereClause and all this happens in the processRequest as the page loads.
This page opens on clicking a button in a previous page from where all the parameters for the setWhereClause is sent using fireAction.
Each Row in the results table in XYZPG has a "detail" button which opens another page in a new window using _blank in the Target Frame.
The issue is that when Iam clicking the "detail" button,the new form opens in the new window and after closing the form that opened in the new window when I start to perform any action in XYZPG a null pointer is encountered in the processRequest while trying to fetch the setWhereClause parameters.
Please help in this issue.Its urgent.
Thanks

That's because when you close the child window, control returns back to parent form's processRequest. Which version of EBS you are working on? OAF has in-built popup windows feature supported on latest EBS versions which is very useful on many occasions as it has good features like popup closing automatically when a submit button is clicked etc. Check JDev user guide and see if you can use popup windows for your project. If not, you have to capture the event in processRequest and perform required actions again.

Form in a popup window

Hello
I have a button on a page opening a popup window. This popup window includes a page with form and the classical Create Cancel Submit Delete buttons.
Of course, when clicking Cancel, Submit or other buttons, the popup does not close and I end up with the target page in the popup !
How can I solve this ? (I'm using apex 4)

Hi Arnaud,
You may find it useful to refer to the Build Custom Popup Pages 'How To' available here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/how-to-create-custom-popups-085945.html , which outlines the steps to create the popup, including the JavaScript to pass back values to the parent page and then close the popup.
There's also numerous related threads on the forum which could also prove useful to you:

Hello Guys,

Do anybody have idea how can we open Infopath form in to modal popup instead redirecting to the page.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Suhil,
You can use SP.UI.ModalDialog.OpenPopUpPage to open a InfoPath form in a model dialog, format is like below.
http://marriedtosharepoint.com/2012/01/15/open-an-infopath-form-in-a-dialog/

Open BW webreport via button on form in (new) popup window possible ?

Hi,
We need to give the opportunity to the end-users to launch a BW webreport to make a detailed analysis. I know how to do this via a button and a html iview but then the result is displayed in the same window overwriting the current content of the VC application.
I thought to solve this by using a popup iview but I have just learned that this is not supported ?
Can anyone give me a hint how to achieve this ? I searched for a "add hyperlink" function but didn't find that neither.

Hi Double U,
Ok i see, what do you mean. I thought I did a workaround and use a nested iView with a html view in a popup iView.
Best Regards,
Marcel

Open calling form in new browser window

HI,
I am using forms 9i. From menu item, i am calling a form using call_form, the called form is opening in same window, my requirement is the called forms want to open in new browser window. I am using mdi window.
Any idea ?
Regards
Ramesh babu

If you look in your browser address field, you will see your current forms has a (probably very) long url, one section of which is the form name. Now, you can use this as the URL argument in a WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() call. However:
(1) if your URL doesn't include the userid, etc. (very likely in a production situation) you will have to log in again.
(2) as (1) might lead to suspect, you are in a new database session.
Why do you want to do this?
Cheers, APC

I can't open pdf files. The popup window says to install adobe but when I download adobe it says I already have it

I can't open pdf files.

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Each time I open Firefox, I get a popup window that says "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible." But I have updated Firefox.

But I have updated Firefox. And if I tell it to do the update, it runs and runs and runs but nothing ever happens. It has a 'view more information about this update' link but the link does not work.

According to your user agent string you are not using the latest version of Firefox. It shows you have version 4.0, the latest version is 4.0.1
In the Help menu select "About Firefox", this should check for updates and then let you install the latest version.
If that does not work, try downloading the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/ then installing it over your current version.

Ping,
1st, see the Markup formatting options over on the right part of the screen - if you wrap your code between the code tags it will read MUCH better.
2nd, I can't replicate this issue - we have several PDFs opening in new windows & we only need to click once on the clost 'X' - how are you calling the PDF in a new window?
If you can't find a final resolution, an alternative would be to place a LinktoAction on your web dynpro application somewhere that makes sense which would close the window for you.
We do this on Sucess Message Views...
You can simply add the link to action to the screen, and in the event handler use
   data : l_view_cntr type ref to if_wd_view_controller,
       l_win_cntr type ref to if_wd_window_controller,
       l_window    type ref to if_wd_window,
       l_parameter_list type wdr_event_parameter_list,
       l_parameter       type   wdr_event_parameter,
       l_val type ref to data.
field-symbols <fs> type any.
l_view_cntr = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
l_win_cntr = l_view_cntr->get_embedding_window_ctlr( ).
l_parameter-name = 'CLOSE_WINDOW'.
create data l_val type c.
assign l_val->* to <fs>.
<fs> = 'X'.
l_parameter-value = l_val.
insert l_parameter into table l_parameter_list.
l_win_cntr->if_wd_view_controller~fire_plug(
exporting plug_name = 'EXIT_PLUG'
           parameters = l_parameter_list ).
Make sure you have an Exit plug on your Window with Plug Type EXIT.

Opening a form in a POP UP window from report

I would like to open a form in a new window from a
link on a field in the report .
Parameters should be passed from the report to form.
Is it possible to do this with a portal link?
Also After modification of the form & on click of save is it possible to close the newly opened window(form) & refresh the report to reflect the changes as both refer to the same table.
Any Idea pls reply,
Thanks in Adv,
Sajith.

Hi,
You can achieve this using by sql based reports. Here is a sample code snippet
select ''||
to_char(empno)||'' empno
from SCOTT.EMP
Please dont forget to change the display type of the column to HTML in the column formatting section of the reports,
otherwise the report will render the html code.
You can have a close button on the form on which you can write a javascript which closes itself. You can write this
on OnClick
self.close();
Hope this clarifies you doubt :-)
Thanks,
Sharmila

VS 2013 SP4 crashes when opening a Form with large Numbers of elements on Windows 8 32-Bit

Hi, I have made a C#-Project, which is fully functional but opening the main form causes VS 2013 Sp4 to crash. I can build the solution an open all Files. Only when i open the form in Designer, VS crashes and want to restart. There are no Log-Entrys. Only
in the event-log there is an Event-Id 1000 with code 0x0000409. I can open the form on two other Windows 8.1 64-Bit machines without Problems. Looking on "free Mem" while opening in Resourcemonitor it crashes when at least are around 190 MB free.
How can I investigate this Problem?

Hi Frank,
If the same solution works well in other machine, I doubt that it is your Environment issue.
Of course, to make sure that it is not the project files issue, please create a blank solution, and then add all project files to this new solution, test it again.
Maybe you could delete .suo file in your solution folder, and then re-open your .sln file, test it again.
If there are many projects in the same solution, I suggest you create different solutions for them, test it again.
But as your previous description, I doubt that it would be related to your VS/Windows Environment.
Please disable all add-ins in your VS, maybe you could run your VS in safe mode, test it again.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms241278.aspx
To make sure that it is not the account issue, please run your VS as the admin.
In addition, the most important issue is that we have make sure that it is not the Window Configuration issue.
For example, when you run your windows for a long time, or your task manager is so busy, or other processes take high CPU and so on, I think they will impact your VS or other software performance.
Please restart your PC, close other processes which take high memory, please also close third party tools like firewall or the Anti-virus. If you open a few VS Editors, just close them, and then just open one, test it again.

Jack

Open list form across host header site collections via Modal Dialog window

Hello, I have a web application that has two host header site collections in it. When a user is on Host Header A, I need to open a list's display form that's located on Host Header B. I'm using the JS function SP.UI.ModalDialog.showModalDialog(options)
to open a dialog window to the host header B list's display form. It loads and shows all the columns, but there are a couple issues.
1) The scroll bar on the dialog window is not active (can't scroll up or down to see all the columns). This is an issue on all browsers (IE 8 &9, Chrome, FF)
2) In IE, the SP ribbon does not display. In Chrome and FF the ribbon does display and the buttons work fine.
There's no errors in the ULS logs, and if I use IE8, there's a JavaScript "Access Denied" error. I've confirmed the user account has permissions on both sites & list.
My first thought had to do with anonymous access being turned on at the web application level (not the site level) and the credentials not being passed to the new site collection. But this isn't the case because in Chrome, the ribbon shows and the
buttons are security trimmed correctly based on the users permissions. So I know the credentials are getting passed through the dialog window. And when I use the "Edit' button on the ribbon in chrome, it opens a new dialog window and everything
works correctly (Scroll bar and ribbon).
Has anybody been able to successfully open a list form across two separate host header site collections?

I ended up getting around the cross site collection in the modal window issue by using a custom ASPX page that works as a redirect using JS.
The link the end user clicks pops open the aspx page in a dialog window. I then pull the URL of the list item I want to open from the URL and have JS open that form in the modal window. The key seems to be to open the redirect aspx page under
the same site collection as the list item you want to view.
Here's the JS that's in the aspx page.
<script type="text/javascript">
// We name the current dialog windown
window.name = "newSiteWindow";
// wait until we know the the JS lib is loaded
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(loadNewSite, "sp.js");
function loadNewSite() {
//grab the list item URL from the URL of the dialog window using a pre created function
newURL = GetUrlParmByName("listItem");
//append our dlg query to the end so everything displays correctly. If you do not use IsDlg=0, the ribbon does not display and the window will not scroll.
newURL = newURL + "&IsDlg=0";
//use the current window to open the list item we want to go to.
window.open(newURL, "newSiteWindow");
</script>
