Display visualforce text after every step of workflow on same VF page

Hello Everyone

 

I have created a VF workflow. And connected it to an visualforce page. 

Step 1 user chooses Account.

Step 2 user chooses/ creates contact 

step 3 ....

 

now What I am trying to achive is display in the seperate <div> in the lower section of the screen what the user has selected so far.

Like You selected account : XYZ

         You selected contact : PQR

 

but I want this text to appear dynamically as per the flow of the steps

 

How can I do it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Store what you want to show in a variable in flow - make it Output only. For this sample say you have 2 variables vaAccountInfo and vaContactInfo which have the text you want to display stored as the flow progresses..

 

In your VF page do something like this:

<apex:page controller="MyFlowController">

<flow:interview name="MyFlow" interview="{!aFlow}" rerender="showOutput"/>

 

<apex:outputPanel id="showOutput">

{!showAccount}

{!showContact}

</apex:outputPanel>

</apex:page>

 

Your controller is something like this:

public class myFlowController {

 

public Flow.Interview.MyFlow aFlow {get; set;}

 

public String getShowAccount() {

 if (aFlow==null) return null;

else return aFlow.vaAccountInfo;

}

 

public String getShowContact() {

 if (aFlow==null) return null;

else return aFlow.vaContactInfo;

}

 

}

 

 

Hope this helps..

Thanks for reposne !!

 

My probblem with this approach is 

even though myflow  == NULL

it is displaying the value of vaAccountInfo

 

 public Flow.interview.CDP_Flow myflow { get; set; }

 

public String getAccountInfo() {
if (myFlow==null) return null;
else return myflow.vaAccountInfo;

}

 

 

like You selected account {141002dd7b50793894476c7273d2139fe2d83ea-7101} 

 

Please let me know what can be wrong.

 

Thanks

Hello All,

 

Sorry it was my mistake I initialsed the vaAcountInfo variable with something that was the problem.
