Does this example help?

You need to run it in 2.3, there is a bug in 2.2.x that wont let it run.

There is also an API call,

runtime.getWebService().invokeOperation("myPageName","myPageName","default",None,None)

which will let you invoke a page from code.

I tried running it in 2.3 (RC2, clean install) and get the following:

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mpidehandler"

Oops, sorry. Close the studio, edit the agp by hand, and delete the lines:

<ag:file filePath="C:\Program Files\ActiveGrid Studio23release\prod\layouts\kbfooter.lyt" logicalFolder="Presentation/Layouts" type="layout"/>

This is not really what we meant. You're not invoking the different pages from code! Right now there is an action that has different endpoints with the name of the service hard coded in the action. We know how to do that.

Our question has the NAME of the xform in the database, so there are no names hard coded in actions.

To follow your example: could you change the action so that there are NO xform names or service names hardcoded, but instead something is done along
invoke(message/selectedPart)

Eljakim

Ok, check out the following attached invokeByPage.zip.

A page name is defined in an XForm Msg Part, and based on which Msg Part the button is referencing, AG will programatically invoke that XForm.

Tell me if this is more of what you are looking for.

Be sure to unzip to a seperate dir than dropdownpage.zip, I reused and renamed files cuz I was lazy ;)

It's still not really what we want to see.

What we would like in the example is:

* Text input: 'select pages you want to see, seperated by comma'
* Turn this string into a list of pages
* Have a vertical layout that iterates over this list of pages
* In the vertical layout have an iFrame that shows the selected page.

So the screen would basically look as follows:

Select pages: [ p1,p1,p2,p1 ]
{OK button}
-------
p1
p1
p2
p1

Does this make sense?

Eljakim

Oh - and just so you know what we expect the including XForm to look like:

* Text Input
* Button
* Vertical Layout: Pages
\-* AjaxFrame: ./Page

It would be great if we can avoid having several nested AjaxFrames; so one ajaxframe per page would be best.

We're definitely looking forward to your answer!
