How to use custom object pagelayout in VF

Hi.

 

Created a Custom Object A.

The Custom Object A  having text fields and also look-up fields.

 

Then created a VF called testpage.

 

I need to use the Custom Object  A's Page-layout in testpage.

To say simply  I don't need to again re-create the all text fields in the testpage.

I need to insert records to the custom object A using the testpage.

 

Really appreciate for your great ideas.

 

cheers

suresh

<apex:page standardcontroller="Customobject A" tabstyle="Customobject A">
<apex:form>
<apex:pageblock>
<apex:pageblocksection>
give all the fields here as inputfields
</apex:pageblocksection>
</apex:pageblock>
<apex:commandbutton value="Save" action="{!Save}"/>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

There is no provision of using Readymade pagelayouts in VIsualforce as of now. This is under consideration from salesforce people.

If you want to achieve this, You have to recreate the layout using Pageblocks and Pageblock sections like the other guy has suggested.

Thank you very much for your precious  time and suggestions.

I will go with the pageblock  idea.

 

Thanks

It actually does exist, check out <apex:detail>

http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/index_Left.htm#StartTopic=Content/pages_compref_detail.htm

 

something like the code below will pull in the page layout you have created for the custom object A

 

<apex:page standardController="CustomObjectA__c">
   <apex:detail subject="{!CustomObjectA__c.id}" relatedList="true" title="false"/> 
</apex:page>
