Visual Force Fields

Can I call out to a field like a cross object formula field can? If I have a case page and I want to pull information from a object related to the case. Is this possible?

If you want to pull the information related to case you have to write the follwing code in controller

 

public Case case {get; set;}

 

in constructor of the class write follwing code:

 

public <Your className>(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {

this.case= [Select c.Account.Website, c.Account.Type, c.Account.Name, c.AccountId From Case c  where Id=:stdController.getId()];

 

and on your VF page use "{!case.Account.Name}"

 

I think this will help you. If you face any issue please let me know.

Forgive me I'm new  at this, but where would I put the public Case case {get; set;} and the 

public <Your className>(ApexPages.StandardController stdController) {

this.case= [Select c.Account.Website, c.Account.Type, c.Account.Name, c.AccountId From Case c  where Id=:stdController.getId()]; 

 

In my example below. I also want to use a custom object called Unit__c. on my case page the lookup field is the serial number__c field.

<apex:page standardController="Case" > <apex:form ><apex:pageBlock ><apexpageBlockSelection title="Update Install Information"> <apex:inputField value="{!Case.Serial_Number__c}"/><apex:inputField value="{!Case.Travel_Hours__c}"/><apex:inputField value="{!Case.Labor_Hours__c}"/><apex:commandButton action="{!save}"value="Update"/></apexpageBlockSelection></apex:pageBlock></apex:form><apex:detail relatedList="false" /><apex:relatedList list="Tech_Queue__r"/><apex:relatedList list="Parts__r"/></apex:page>

Okay something easier, how do i get this {!Case.Serial_Number__r.Install_Date__c} to point to a specific record that is on the case.

 

the serial number field is a lookup field and the child of the case. I wantto update the date of install from the case page to the serial number object.

So are you trying to display data in a Visualforce page or create a form so that you can update data?

I'm trying to create a visual force case page with added fields from another custom object call "Unit" so a customer service rep can update the install date and customer who owns the piece of equipment from the case page.
