I don’t realy understand the usage of these methods…

I’m trying to get all controls on a page, if I read the JS documentation about bpmext.ui and the getView() metod the first parameter of this method is the path as a string. ex. ‘/subview/subview/etc’ and the second parameter (optional) is the referens wich to start search and  ‘If not specified, search starts from the top of the view tree’ which is exactely what I’m after!

I have tried both these methods(page.ui.get() and bpmext.ui.getView()) and they always return undefined, always!

Here is an example, the code resides in a Custom HTML component and the ‘ASEDDGBVFF1’ is a button

this method is called from a Onload event (@getRoot) on a wrapping  Horizontal Layout wrapping the Custom HTML and button

function getRoot(me) {

//page
var control1 = page.ui.get(‘ASEDDGBVFF1’);
console.log(control1); //undefined

//bpmext
var control2 = bpmext.ui.getView(‘ASEDDGBVFF1’);
console.log(control2); //undefined

//sibling
var control3 = me.ui.getSibling(‘ASEDDGBVFF1’);
console.log(control3); //WORKING!
}

Hi Per,

It looks like you have placed the control within a Coach View.  You may need to add the path of the CV to your call:

var control1 = page.ui.get(‘/BOLVerksamhetsfelCV/ASEDDGBVFF1’);
