This post will discuss the configuration required to invoke a Popup Applet on a button click. As always we will discuss it with the help of a requirement.

Requirement:

• On a list applet have a button with caption as “Check Status”
• Clicking on that button should result in an applet opening in separate window (popup applet)

Solution:

I am not listing the normal configuration steps like creating an applet or code to enable the button. I am assuming that you have already done that and just need configure the popup.

• Query the List Applet that you want to add the button to.
• In the Control section create a new record.
• Enter the following values

Name: Check Status
Caption – String Override: Check Status
MethodName: ShowPopup

• Map the control to the Applet UI by editing Applet Web Layout
• Expand the control section and select the Control User Prop Section as shown below
  
• Create the following user properties
  Name: Mode
  Value: Edit
  Name: Popup
  Value: Applet Name to Popup
  

And you are done. When you click on that button it should popup the applet mentioned by you.
