Use lookup value as parameter
Hi all,
I'm fairly new to Salesforce, especially Visualforce, so this might be a rather simple problem but I can't figure it out. I'm trying to create a VF Page with a lookup field for users to select a Course__c and then pass the selected Course as a parameter to an apex method for further processing. The lookup field itself is not a problem, neither is passing a hardcoded value (here the three question marks as a string) but how can I dynamically assign the selected value from the lookup to my parameter?
Thank you
VF-Page:
<apex:page controller="mycontroller">
<apex:form >
<apex:inputField label="Find a Course" id="theLookup" value="{!Firstname.Course__c}"/>
<apex:commandButton value="GO" action="{!processButtonClick}" rerender="hiddenBlock">
<apex:param name="myCourse"
value="???"
assignTo="{!myCourse}"/>
</apex:commandButton>
<apex:pageBlock id="hiddenBlock" rendered="false"></apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>
Controller:
public with sharing class mycontroller {
public Course__c myCourse {
get;
set {
myCourse = value;
}
}
public Course_Group__c getFirstname(){
return new Course_Group__c();
}
public PageReference processButtonClick() {
System.debug('nickName: '+myCourse);
// here I'd call my apex method with the selected Course as parameter
return null;
}
}
You're right Matthew. I read somewhere that I should put it in there but apparently it's not necessary, thank you.
However this doesn't help with my actual problem.
