How to set a Custom Control property from SSJS?

How can I set a custom control property from SSJS?

The problem that I have is that I can only set property values if my code runs on the same Custom Control; for example:

compositeData.viewname = ‘People’;

But what I want to do is to set this property from my holding XPage; I’ve tried setting the value from a button using:

var cc = getComponent(‘ccname’);

cc.setValueBinding( ‘viewname’, ‘People’ );

cc.compositeData.viewname = ‘People’;

cc.compositeData.setValue(‘viewname’, ‘People’);

compositeData.viewname = ‘People’;

without any success.

Please your help.

Subject: You can’t? (grin)…

  • Try “inline” SSJS:

<xc:CustomControl someProperty=“#{javascript:your SSJS goes here}” />

Caveat: You can not put && or " in the code. You can include a server-side JS library and put a function in there, though, and do pretty much whatever you darned well please.

Hope this helps…

Subject: Scope variables instead?

Thanks David, but, inline SSJS is not an option since what I want is to call a Dojo dialog (custom control) multiple times from my XPage using buttons.

The idea of using Custom Control Properties was to set the value of this property every time I call the dojo dialog with a different view name.

I think I’ll change this approach to use viewScope variable to store the viewname. For example:

Button 1

viewScope.put(‘viewname’, ‘People’)

Button 2

viewScope.put(‘viewname’, ‘PeopleandGroups’)

Thanks
