Simple Question on View Control

I have a view control displaying the first column as link. I want the clicked document to open with the form it was created with.

I see the property "At runtime, open selected document using". But the value I see is "XPage associated with the document's form". I tried giving the form name of the document which didn't work.

I guess in 8.5 version there was an option "The document's default form or page" which is what I really need.

Any idea how to accomplish this in 8.5.1?

If no XPage is associated with the documents form, the action from the viewPanel will try to open the document in a XPage of the same name as the form. If no Xpage of the same name exist, the action will fail.

So you might want to create a XPage with the same name as the document'f Form - adding controls that can be bound to the data sources on the Form.

Or, you can open the Form properties and select the XPage from the 'Display XPage instead' drop down to get things going

So there is no way I can open the document with the form? (Other than building the URL manually in the view column). I really don't want to open the document with a XPage. It will be lot of work for me to convert all functionalities built into the form to a XPage. :(

No - You're not going to be able to use the form. Think of the form as simple the definition of your fields.

Paul Calhoun posted a tool to convert a from to Xpages via DXL. It was on xpagesblog.com I think so you might want to investigate that.

You're better off in the long run putting creating XPages for your documents.
