I want to insert a command button called Edit in my view page. All fields are in output mode, and when I click on the Edit button I want to type on them or make changes. (In my Scenario inlineEdit does not work). Can anybody please help me. Thanks

  • I add a edit button it does not work the way i want. I want to edit all my output field when i click the edit. It should in the same page and should activate the output fields into input field. So i can type <apex:commandButton value="Edit2" action="{!URLFOR($Action.Product_Brief__c.Edit,Product_Brief__c.Id)}"/> This is not the way i want.

I think you would have to use a boolean in your controller which controls if the fields can be edited or not :

In your controller :

public Boolean bEditMode {
  get {
    if(bEditMode == null) {
      bEditmode = false;
    }
    return bEditMode;
  }
  set;
}

public PageReference doToggleEditMode() {
  bEditMode = !bEditMode;
  return null;
}

public PageReference doSave() {
  try {
    // Do your stuff to save your record
    doToggleEditMode();
  }
  catch(Exception ex) {
    // Handle error
  }

  return null;
}

In your VFPage :

<apex:outputPanel id="myPanel">

  <apex:commandButton action="{!doToggleEditMode}" value="Edit" reRender="myPanel" rendered="{!NOT(bEditMode)}" />
  <apex:commandButton action="{!doSave}" value="Save" reRender="myPanel" rendered="{!bEditMode}" />

  <apex:outputText value="{!someVar}" rendered="{!NOT(bEditMode)}" />
  <apex:inputText value="{!someVar}" rendered="{!bEditMode}" />

</apex:outputPanel>

I think that would do the job. Let me know if it doesn't.

  • Hey Julien Gaïotto, It gives me a error "Error: justing Compile Error: Non-void method might not return a value or might have statement after a return statement."

  • public class justing { public Boolean bEditMode { get { if(bEditMode == null) { bEditmode = false; } return bEditMode; } set; } public PageReference doToggleEditMode() { bEditMode = !bEditMode; } public PageReference doSave() { try { // Do your stuff to save your record doToggleEditMode(); } catch(Exception ex) { // Handle error } } public justing(ApexPages.StandardController controller) { } }
