Open Commandbutton in new Window

Hello,

 

I have the following line of code in my VF page:

 

            <apex:commandButton value="Generate PDF" action="{!URLFOR($Page.AcctPlanPDF,null,[Id=Account_Plan__c.id])}" style="background:#99CCFF; font-weight=bold"/>

I would like this to open a pop-up window to the AcctPlanPDF page when the button is clicked.  Does anyone know how to accomplish this while maintaining the commandButton?  Thanks.

Hi ,

 

I believe that you want to place the "Generate PDF" button either on the Account_Plan__c Object layout or in the VisualForce page with Controller as Account_Plan__c. To open it new window, we need to go for window.open() as below

 

Try this code,


<apex:form >
<apex:commandButton value="Generate PDF" onclick="window.open('/apex/AcctPlanPDF?id='+'{!Account_Plan__c.Id}','_blank','height=600,location=no,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=1', 1)" style="background:#99CCFF; font-weight=bold" />
</apex:form>

 

This should work, let me know in case of any issues.

 

Please mark this post as solved, if it helps you.
