Hi Chamil,

 

You can get Employee record id in query string at embeded VF page.

 

Change your code to...

 

 

[Select c.LastName, c.Id, c.Employee__c, c.Email, (Select Id, Name From Employees__r) From Contact c WHERE Employee__c=:ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('id')];

You won't be able to access the contents of the page that your visualforce is embedded into, as that is from a different server and the browser won't allow it.  However, as you are using the standard controller for the object, you can simply examine its fields.

 

Or are you trying to do something based on the page layout itself (e.g. based on the number of columns etc)?

Page layout is related to the custom object Employee__c. Employee__c and Contact object has a lookup relationship. custom visual page has used in Employee__c page layout.The query in the controller which communicate with visualforce page is related to the Contact object.

 

 

Select c.LastName, c.Id, c.Employee__c, c.Email, (Select Id, Name From Employees__r) From Contact c WHERE Employee__r.Name='0001'

 I want to get the Employee__r.Name (Employee__c.Name) which is already in Employee__c page layout.

That's the issue.
