How do I use =!$User

How do I use the $User field in an if statement?

Something like:

case1=[Select Priority,CaseNumber,Accountid,Subject,Contactid,CreatedDate,Ownerid from case where Ownerid=!$User];  
     return case1;

 

which of course is not how to do it.

 

Thanks,

Haya

The query should be like this :

 

case1=[Select Priority,CaseNumber,Accountid,Subject,Contactid,CreatedDate,Ownerid from case where Ownerid=:UserInfo.getUserId()];

 In your apex controller, You have to use UserInfo methods like UserInfo.getUserId() to get the user details. For reference look at this : http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_methods_system_userinfo.htm

Will Suggest you to read the documents carefully.

The one you are referring is Global variable for VF pages and Formulas http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/pages/Content/pages_variables_global.htm

Also keep in mind Merge fields are only for VF pages, formulas, buttons etc not for Apex

What you actually need is access through apex, Have a look at userInfo class http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_methods_system_userinfo.htm
