To Provide Hyperlinks for a Grid Column

To provide hyperlinks for an existing column in a grid, perform the following actions:
  1. Add the PXSelector attribute for the field used to create the column.
  2. For the field, create a selector control in the RowTemplate element of the PXGridLevel container of the ASPX page, as described in To Add a Control to the Form View of a Grid.
  3. Set the AllowEdit property of the selector control to True.
Note: A selector control contains the value of the key field of a data record from a particular table. Therefore, the control can be used to redirect a user to the form designed to edit the data record.
After you have completed these actions:
  • The column fields contain hyperlinks to redirect the user to the data entry form for the records defined by the fields.
  • If the form view for the grid is available, the following interface elements appear on the form view:
    • The text box created for the field
    • The Edit button, which provides the required redirection to the data entry form for the record defined by the value in the text box
