What does vui.ui.grid.getGrid do, conceptually?

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows that vui.ui.grid.getGrid() does? From the way that it's written, it should launch a modal window that allows you to select a Folder, Channel... whatever is passed in the config. As a simple test, I tried something like this:

var config = {
       type : vui.vcm.type.FOLDER,
       rootId: 'f22272ed7c7dc310VgnVCM100000a48d2ca2PROJ',
       gridId: 'myGrid',
       gridTitle: 'Select a Folder'
};

vui.ui.grid.getGrid(config);

It looks like a grid object is created, but nothing is displayed. Am I supposed to call something else to get it to appear?

Thanks,

Eric

Hi,

Are you trying to open a picker, which will allow the user to select a Folder/Channel ? If that is the case then try calling ‘vui.vcm.ui.picker.getModalPicker(windowConfig, pickerConfig)’. You can check the documentation in the uncompressed JS file, for the argument options. One of the configuration options include a callback, which will be called after the user selects the objects…

vui.ui.grid.getGrid() returns an ExtJS grid object. This should be added/appended to a ExtJS component… e.g.

var config = {

type : vui.vcm.type.FOLDER,

rootId: 'f22272ed7c7dc310VgnVCM100000a48d2ca2PROJ',

gridId: 'myGrid',

gridTitle: 'Select a Folder'

};

var customGrid = vui.ui.grid.getGrid(config);

var center = vui.ext.getCmp(vui.ui.workspace.internal.CENTER_REGION_ID);

center.add(customGrid);

Nutan,

Thanks a lot. You're correct. The functionality I was looking for was the picker and not creating the grid. For other's benefit, here is the code that can open a window that selects a Folder:

var pType = { id: 'f22272ed7c7dc310VgnVCM100000a48d2ca2PROJ', type: vui.vcm.type.FOLDER, name: 'Root Folder Name' };

var picker= vui.vcm.ui.picker.getModalPicker({
title: 'Find a Folder'
}, {
root: pType,
selectableTypes: vui.vcm.type.FOLDER,
hideSearch: true,
cls: 'vui-picker-window',
id: 'some_unique_id',
listeners: {
  // listener for the "OK" button
  ok: vui.scope(this,function(items) {
   if (items.length == 1) {
    this.pickerCallback(items[0].id, items[0].name);
   }
   })
}
}).show();

var pickerCallback = function(id, name, recursive) {
alert ('You picked ' + id);
}

Thanks,

Eric
