How to get the callout path after saving the DCR

vishal891

We have a requirment in the datacapture.cfg file to have an callout button in which we are calling an DCR.

so after clicking on the callout button the DCR should popup in the new window so after filling and saving the DCR the path should comes under the browse field.

So can someone please suggest me in this.

I wouldn't use dialog, I'd use callout with an onCallout handler.

 

You're in luck as I did this recently and happen to be in a code-sharing mood right now.

 

Primary DCT:

  <item name="dcr" pathid="dcr" rowcontinue="t">
    <label>DCR</label>
    <browser ...>
    </browser>
  </item>
  <item name="new_dcr" pathid="new_dcr" rowcontinue="t">
    <hidden>
      <callout label="New"/>
    </hidden>
  </item>
  <item name="edit_dcr" pathid="edit_dcr" >
    <hidden>
      <callout label="Edit"/>
    </hidden>
  </item>

 

 

Primary DCT's FormAPI:

function init() {
    ...
    IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/root/new_dcr", "onCallout", newDCR);
    IWEventRegistry.addItemHandler("/root/edit_dcr", "onCallout", editDCR);
    ...
}

function newDCR(item) {
    var wa  = IWDatacapture.getWorkarea();
    var url = "/iw-cc/newform?vpath=" + wa + "&iw_tdt=category/datatype&done_page=refresh_parent_and_close_window.html";
    window.open(url, "New DCR");
    return true;
}
/**
 * Callback function for NewDCR functionality when "child" DCR is saved.
 * Assumes "child" DCT has FormAPI code FormHandler for onSaveDone to call this
 */
function newDCRCallback(val) {
    IWDatacapture.getItem("/root/dcr").setValue(val);
}

function editDCR(item) {
    var dcr = IWDatacapture.getItem("/root/dcr").getValue();
    if (dcr.match(/^\s*$/)) {
        alert("You must browse and select a DCR before you can edit it");
        return false;
    }
    var wa  = IWDatacapture.getWorkarea();
    var url = "/iw-cc/edit?vpath=" + wa + dcr + "&done_page=refresh_parent_and_close_window.html";
    window.open(url, "Edit DCR");
    return true;
}

 Referenced DCT's FormAPI

IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);
function init() {
    IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveDone", saveDoneHandler);
}

function saveDoneHandler() {
    var api = parent.opener.top.getScriptFrame();
    var dcrPath = IWDatacapture.getDCRPath().replace(/^.*\/WORKAREA\/[^\/]+/, "");
    api.newDCRCallback(dcrPath);
    return true;
