I hope  {!xxxx.Contact_r.Mobile}  work.

 

do you retrieve "Project__c.Contact__r.Mobile" by SOQL in your apex class?

 

please show your apex code.

Hai,

 

 

I have pasted the code below.

 

 

<apex:inputField value="{!Text_Message__c.name}"/ required="true"><br />
<apex:inputField value="{!Text_Message__c.Contact__c}"/><br />

 

 

<apex:inputField value="{!Text_Message__c.Contact__c}"/><br />

 

Above shown Is the field where I have a lookup with standard object(Contact__c)

 

<apex:inputField value="{!Text_Message__c.Contact__r.MobilePhone}"/><br />

 

For this field,I am unable to populate the field with the value.It only gives the label(say,Mobile) and not the value.

 

Thanks for the reply.

I hope this dont Work.

The value dont show, because you dont retrieve his.

 

For to retrieve the value, you have to use a call by SOQL, in your apex class. For Sample:

After saving the register, you call:

 

Private Final Text_Message__c TextMessage =  (Text_Message__c)controller.getRecord()

 

Private Text_Message__c showobject = new Text_Message__c();

 

Public Text_Message__c getShowMobile(){

   showobject = [select id, Contact__r.MobilePhone from Text_Message__c where id = TextMessage.id];

   return showobject;

 

}

public PageReference refreshPage(){

   showobject = getShowMobile();

   return null;

}

 

Finally, you call your method in your visualforce page:

 

<apex:inputField value="{!ShowMobile.Contact__r.Mobilephone}"/>
