I wish to derive the sObject API Id for a given sObject type.

Not the record type Id or the object Id.

The Id that would e.g. show the Custom Object detail page.

Or more specifically, the value that one should feed to recordtypeselect.jsp as the "ent" parameter.

And I don't want code, I want the {!MyObject__c.xyz} format that I can put in the javascript for a custom button.

Is this possible.

(Strictly all I want to do is relabel the New button on a related list on a view page but that seems impossible, so I'm making a custom button to put on said list)

Hi,

I am trying to override the view button in custom object with a custom view button. My custom button should dynamically display visualforce pages based on  a field value.

For eg: I have two Visualforce Pages: VF1 and VF2 and a picklist - testpick__c = 1;2

If the record has testpick__c = 1 --> Display VF1 when custom view button is clicked

If the record has testpick__c = 2 --> Display VF2 when custom view button is clicked

It would greatly help me out if someone could share some code or suggest an approach that I could use to implement this functionality.

Thanks!
