XAF Blazor - Singleton DetailView in DashboardView

Hi Anatol,

Thanks for your help, it worked as expected. below is my updated code, should i split it into multiple controller for performance prospect?

C#
public partial class CompanyDashboardActionViewController : ViewController
   {
       public CompanyDashboardActionViewController()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
           TargetViewType = ViewType.DashboardView;
           // Target required Views (via the TargetXXX properties) and create their Actions.
       }
       ActionControlsSiteController nestedActionControlsSiteController;
       protected override void OnActivated()
       {
           base.OnActivated();
           DashboardCustomizationController _DashboardAction = Frame.GetController<DashboardCustomizationController>();
           if (_DashboardAction != null)
           {
               // Find a Dashboard by it's ID
               if (_DashboardAction.View.Id == "DashboardViewCompanySettings")
               {
                   // Disable OrganizeDashboard and Refresh Button on Dashboardboard View
                   _DashboardAction.OrganizeDashboardAction.Active["OrganizeDashboard"] = false;
                   RefreshController refreshController = _DashboardAction.Frame.GetController<RefreshController>();
                   if (refreshController != null)
                   {
                       if (refreshController.View.Id == "DashboardViewCompanySettings")
                       { refreshController.RefreshAction.Active["Refresh"] = false; }
                   }

                   // Find CompanySettings DetailView, Set first record, Set in Edit Mode
                   ((DashboardView)View).FindItem("CompanySettings").ControlCreated += delegate (object s, EventArgs args)
                   {
                       DetailView detailView = ((DashboardViewItem)s).Frame.View as DetailView;
                       detailView.CurrentObject = detailView.ObjectSpace.GetObjects<Companies>()[0];
                       detailView.ViewEditMode = ViewEditMode.Edit;

                   };

                   // Above DetailsView in Edit mode Nested frames do not have the "Save" action container with this button.

                   // To place the "Save" action button to one of the supported categories: ObjectsCreation, Link, Edit, RecordEdit,
                   // View, Reports, Export, Diagnostic, Filters, FullTextSearch
                   DashboardViewItem companySettings = (DashboardViewItem)_DashboardAction.View.FindItem("CompanySettings");
                   nestedActionControlsSiteController = companySettings.Frame.GetController<ActionControlsSiteController>();
                   if (nestedActionControlsSiteController != null)
                   {
                       nestedActionControlsSiteController.CustomizeContainerActions += ViewController1_CustomizeContainerActions;
                   }
               }
           }
       }

       private void ViewController1_CustomizeContainerActions(object sender, CustomizeContainerActionsEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.Category == "Edit")
           {
               e.ContainerActions.Add(e.AllActions.Find("Save"));
           }
       }

       protected override void OnViewControlsCreated()
       {
           base.OnViewControlsCreated();
           // Access and customize the target View control.
       }
       protected override void OnDeactivated()
       {
           // Unsubscribe from previously subscribed events and release other references and resources.
           base.OnDeactivated();
           if (nestedActionControlsSiteController != null)
           {
               nestedActionControlsSiteController.CustomizeContainerActions -= ViewController1_CustomizeContainerActions;
               nestedActionControlsSiteController = null;
           }
       }
   }

Another issue with multiple ListViews in one Dashboard as Tabbed view is, after editing or adding a new record, the view automatically set to first Dashboard Tab instead of returning to original Tab where Add or Edit button was clicked, any idea why does this happen and how can I fix it?

Many Thx, Bunty

Hello Bunty,

should i split it into multiple controller for performance prospect?

This is not necessary - this is a matter of your convenience and code style.

I created a separate ticket for your second question: A DashboardView's layout tab is reset after returning from another View. I will answer you there shortly.
