I have a grid that I want to add a column to, to contain a Link to a Control application. The grid has about 5 fields plus a hidden field called OBJ_GUID. The Control application has only one field called OBJ_GUID, and I made it a hidden field, because I just made 2 custom buttons in the Control application which I will make some PHP functions for later.
In the grid, Links, I create a new link. If I use “Application” my Control app doesn’t appear in the list. So I have to use either Field or Capture. I can’t use Capture, becauses only the fields in the main grid are shown in the list, not the hidden OBJ_GUID field. So the only choice left is “Field”. I select OBJ_GUID from the drop down, then click Next and I can see my Control app in the list. I select it, click Next and the “Without parameters” notification is displayed. I click Next and the list of properties comes up.
I select Operation mode “Modal”, 200 X300 and leave all the rest at the default settings.
When I generate the code the subject error appears, and the link colum I made, does not appear in the grid. What am I doing wrong?
Is it the case that a grid cannot be linked to a Control app? I suspect that there is a bug in SC8.1 that skips over the “Link Type” page when making a link based on a field… instead it shows the “Without parameters” message. And if the “Link Type” is “Field” (which I selected) SC8 is ignoring it. I’m on version 8.1.044
Update: I’m trying to make a link colum of any kind, Application, Field, Capture… they all display the same message upon Generate: Link type not defined, yet I do select the Link type as the very first step in making the link.
