Hiding Lookup Details Shortcut

Q. How can I hide the "arrow in circle" icon in a grid, create form and edit form, so that, a user cannot go to the detail page. Ideally, I would like to see this controlled by a role. How can I accomplish this with Code OnTime Designer?

Bill W

A.

There is no role-based control for the lookup details shortcut (object reference) icon. Two object references are visible in the picture below.

You can “hide” the shortcuts as follows.

1. Create file StyleSheet1.css under ~/App_Themes/[Namespace] folder of your project where [Namespace] is the name of the folder with _Layout.skin file. The name of the file is arbitrary.

2. Open the CSS file in Visual Studio or Notepad and enter the following text:

span.ObjectRef
{
    display:none;
}
This will ensure that all object references in your application are hidden.

You can also hide object references on specific pages only.

For example, if you have a page ~/Pages/Products.aspx then you can hide object references on this page only if you CSS rule is defined as follows:

.pages_products_aspx span.ObjectRef
{
    display:none;
}

Choosing Page Data Layout

Web Site Factory web applications offer several page layouts. Each layout offers its own method of presenting data on a single page.  The most popular master-detail  data layouts of pages are described below.

Tabbed layout

View live demo of tabbed master-detail layout at http://dev.codeontime.com/demo/websitefactory3/pages/customers.aspx.

Detail tabs show up only when you select a master record. Tabs disappear when a new record is selected or an existing selected record is deleted. The most compact layout. The lowest impact on the database.

Classic layout

View live demo of classic master-detail layout at http://dev.codeontime.com/demo/websitefactory6/pages/customers.aspx.

Detail tabs will show at the bottom of the screen when you select a master record. This type of layout is probably familiar to most end users. Selection of a master records causes at least one detail query to execute.

Stacked Layout

View live demo of stacked layout at http://dev.codeontime.com/demo/websitefactory5/pages/customers.aspx.

Detail data views will show at the bottom of the screen when you select a master record. All detail data views are visible simultaneously. We have improved the detail query execution to better detect master record selection, which improves overall performance of pages with master-detail layout. Selection of a master record will cause all detail views to refresh. Detail views will disappear if you start creating a new master record or loose the current master record selection.
