Hi all,

Before I explain the question, let me explain what I have setup so far. I have a single Module Definition with three controls defined:

Key Type Title SourcePage (abbreviated)
  View Items ViewItems.ascx
Edit Edit Edit Item EditItems.ascx
Settings Edit Item Settings ItemSettings.ascx

 In the ViewItems.ascx, I add a custom action in the usual event handler. The only "pertinent" code in that handler is:

Dim Actions As New Entities.Modules.Actions.ModuleActionCollection"", "", EditUrl(), False, Security.SecurityAccessLevel.Edit, True, False)

Return

 So, When I add the module to an actual page, the default View controntrol is displayed, and its Title is "Items" (as expected and desired)

When I hover over the action menu, I get an option for "Add Item" (as expected and desired)

When I click the Edit link for one of the Items, I see the Edit Control displayed, and all the fields filled in and the Title of the Module is "Edit Item" (as expected and desired)

However, if I click on "Add Item" from the View Control, I am put onto the Edit Control with all the fields being blank (as expected), but the Title of the module is "Edit Items"......which is not what I want.  I want it to be "Add Item"

If I change the title in the control definition it affects both modes so that won't work.

I've read the previous posts about how to change the module title in the Page_Load event etc, but what I am unclear on is how I know whether I am "Adding" or "Editing" at any given time.

Would it be simpler to actually make two different control definitions with different titles, but using the same .ascx page?

I appreciate any guidance all you experts can provide!

Thanks

Paul Hermans

Have you tried to change title in Page_Init instead of Page_Load in the Edit.ascx.vb? 

Try this:  Add a resource record for page title in the Edit.resx file and read the title from resource file at runtime and set the control title in page_init event.

Paul,

Most of the time I just determine the mode by looking at the value of the primary key field that is passed to the Edit control from the View control. Typically, when you click on the edit icon of an exiting record you pass the record id of the record clicked and when you click the "Add Record" link you pass a -1. If you have a table with a key field called "ItemId" you could do something like this in your Edit control in the Page_Load...

Visual Basic

2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
 
If Not (Request.Querystring("ItemId") Is Nothing) Then
  ItemID = Int32.Parse(Request.Querystring("ItemId"))
End If

If ItemId = -1 then
  '-- Add mode.
Me.ModuleConfiguration.ModuleTitle = Localization.GetString("AddMode.Text", LocalResourceFile)
  Else If ItemId > 0 then
  '-- Edit mode.
Me.ModuleConfiguration.ModuleTitle = Localization.GetString("EditMode.Text", LocalResourceFile)
  Else
  '-- Invalid ItemId so just return.
  Response.Redirect(NavigateURL(), True)
End If

This presumes you have entered the following entries in the resource file for your edit control... AddMode.Text "Adding Item" EditMode.Text "Editing Record" I hope this helps, Chuck R.
