Return from Browse going to incorrect menu item
« on: January 17, 2012, 11:29:51 AM »
On a form you can specify the url to return to when closed. On a  Browse you cannot.

So I have my PageHeaderTag containing my menu items. There are several menus on that form and each menu calls a Browse.

So the call to the Browse is depicted in yellow on the attached screenshot (1).

The thing is, when I close the browse I return to the main index page which really is not correct. I need to go the original lookup list of items. So closing the browse should return to the form that called it.

I suspect because this is a PageHeaderTag that is causing a  problem.

How can I get round this? So in screenshot (2) the orange denotes the correct sequence drilling down but the red shows the calling menu being missed.

Thanks

John

yeah, I've seen this two, and it's a bit confusing. But it makes sense, and I'm not sure how easy it is to change;

It's important to get the right names for things, as this makes it easier to understand. I'll reference the second gif, as this shows what is happeneing.

a) you have a menu, which in turn has sub-menus. You can also have submenus on that if you like. when a user navigates the menu, they go from the root menu, to the Lookups sub menu, (and potenitally more menus) until the Condition browse.

It's important to know there are only 2 pages in play here. the IndexPage with the menu, and the ConditionBrowse. The fact that you navigate through the menu is not the same as navigating through pages.

what you're really wanting is the ability to come back to the Indexpage, but have the page pre-navigate to the Lookup menu (and, BTW, still have the "back" button take you back to the main menu). That sounds to me like it's gonna be very tricky to do.

Like I say, I'm not sure this is even possible, and if it is probably isn't at the top of the list right now.

Cheers
