How to load a form when clicking on a row of the grid
Suppose you have a window containing a grid and a detail form and you want to reload the content of the form when clicking on a row of the grid. You can do that manually, by binding to the "row click" event of the grid a javascript action containing js code to reload the form. You can use a wizard available in the grid panel definition to generate the same settings automatically. A few wizards are available in the settings panel for a grid in the App Designer. One of these wizards is about "Form loading from a row click". When selecting this item, a settings dialog is showed: once the user has selected a form defined within the same window, a list of required parameters is proposed on the right: these are parameters required by the form in order to read data correctly. For each of them, the user has to bind a value to that parameter, which can be a constant value, a variable (such as username, current date, etc.) or a value coming from the selected row in the current grid. In this way, the wizard has all information needed to create a javascript action and bind it to the "row click" event.
