Hi Juan,

Yes it is possible..

You can use one standardcontroller and then in extension you can all all your controllers which you want to use..

<apex:page standardcontroller="Account" extensions="controller1 controller2 controller3">


like I mentioned above you can sue space separted custom controllers...

P.S. If my answer helps you to solve your problem please mark it as best answer. It will help other to find best answer.

Thanks,

Hi Juan,

What do you mean by visible in VF page ?

You can simply use action function to call these methods from page..

Hi,

One VF page has got one controller, but if I got a global class and 2 VF pages, how I can call to global method in both pages? with action funcion? Can you put some example, please?

Thanks

Hi Juan,

there is no difference in calling a global class method or public method from Vf page..
  
<apex:page controller="TestClass"> 
 <apex:form > 
  
  <apex:commandButton value="ssss" action="{!ssss}" immediate="false" rerender ="ss"/>
  <apex:outputpanel id="ss">
  </apex:outputpanel>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page> 



Class

global with sharing class TestClass {

public Contact objAcc{get;set;}
public String subjectInput{get;set;}


   public TestClass()
   {
   	
   }
   
   global void ssss()
   {
   	for(Account obj : [Select Id from Account where Id ='00128000002mclT'])
   	{
   		system.debug('==================='+obj.Id);
   		obj.Name='ss';
   		update obj;
   			system.debug('==================='+obj.Name);
   	}
   }

   
}

Please refer dummy code for example...

Sorry, I don't explained correctly.

My code will be:
  
Page 1

<apex:page controller="Controller1"> 
// call global property of TestClass
</apex:page> 

Page 2

<apex:page controller="Controller2"> 
// call global property of TestClass
</apex:page> 

Controller 1

public with sharing class Controller1{
}

Controller 2

public with sharing class Controller2{
}

Global Class

global with sharing class TestClass{

public String name {get;set;}

}

In this case the controllers can't extends other class...

Thanks again

Hi Juan,

If you want to extend another class from your controller then you can use extends keyword tpo extend...the class which you are extending should be public abstract class className..

please check with thsi and let me know if you need any clarification....

Hi Juan,

You mean you dont want to extend teh class from controller but you want to access them into page..which is something like you want to call more controllers from page instead of extending with class?

Thanks,
Sandeep

Exactly, I want to call one global method in all my VF pages, but I dont want to extend other class.
