KeithJ CASE embedded in apex outputfield value attribute
Hi.
Anyone know if you can do this? I am trying and it's giving me an error stating
Error: Syntax error. Missing ')'
Here is my outputField
value="{!CASE(currentOppLineItem.usdLineItem.Quote_Currency__c, '(NOK)', currentOppLineItem.nokLineItem.UnitPrice, '(EUR)', currentOppLineItem.eurLineItem.UnitPrice, currentOppLineItem.usdLineItem.UnitPrice)}"
I have a sneaking suspicion this is not allowed...
Thanks
Thanks for the reply.
I tried this in fact - it's just that when I pasted into the code section in the forums, it wraps to 2 lines...
Strange.
does it work if you use outputText ?
Unfortunately OutputText wasn't an option as I couldn't afford to loose the formatting.
I tried embedding a MessageFormat string in the outputText value attribute and I got a server error.
I see that messageFormatting has been included since api 10 but it has only been documented this api release.
It's handy to have though!
Regardless, I had to change my code around so the need for an embedded case formula was redundant...
Thanks for the help though,
Best regards
i think i see, you are trying to use outputField because it does formating, but you want to decide what field to specify using logic in Visualforce.
you may be forced to move the logic into the controller, presenting the VF page with just one field.
i tried CASE with outputText and it saved fine.
Cool! It's good to know that it works for outputText.
I would like to play around with the messaging format capabilities with outputText and see what I can come up with.
To cut a long story short, I got my org multi currency enabled and I was able to get around the problem of trying
to have one of the fields on a opportunityLineItem in a different currency to that of the opportunity that the opplineItem was associated.
Tricky but good fun to do!
