Open Form with Attribute Collapsed

Aware2014

Is there a way to open a form from a process with the form initially collapsed?

Would not putting a separator at the top of the form and having it collapsed initially not suffice?

Thanks - I've tried that now but does not accomplish what I am trying to do.

Are you opening a form in a modal window?

Hi Aware2014, try this:

Create a new form (the form you want initially collapsed)
Activate the "Show Expand/Collapse icon" option in form/button options
Add "config.collapsed = true;" to the form advanced/initialisation script options
Open the form from your process

That was it - thanks! BTW just FYI it seems that this will only collapse the first collapsible object. In my case this works out well.

BTW, I've noticed that the 'configs' I see exposed via aware.js thru the advanced/initialization script feature include:

Form Title: config.title = null;
Form/Query Bar: config.preventHeader = true;
Form/Query Bar Collapsed: config.collapsible = false;
Form/Query Icons: config.iconCls = null; or config.iconCls = "{css class};
Form/Query Tool Icons: consconfig.tools = null;

Thanks again hpl123!

Thanks Aware2014 for the additional list. I don´t know really how these "configs" work under the surface but it seems as though each config has to be "precoded" in e.g. aware.js for it to work in the advanced script options? (i.e. all extjs options might not work, it´s only the ones precoded and if you need a config that´s not precoded it has to be precoded)

Support can you verify that/if this is the case?

Aware2014

That is what I noticed as well. Only certain extjs options that are exposed by Aware. I remember coming across that in the past when I was looking through one of the aware files (maybe aware.js). I've tried several of the extjs configs and the ones that are not exposed via Aware do not work.

Ok, well that´s good to know so I/we don´t spend to much tiome trying all kinds of extjs options when some might not work.
