Embedding a custom window/view into an existing (enhanced) Window/ViewSet

67 Views

Have a question regarding a new development in UI 2007 / ICWC.

How to incorporate a new window/view that I have created to be displayed on an existing (of course, enhanced) window? I Completed the following steps:

1. Created a new BOL structure and a retrieval class for the new BOL object

2, Created a new GenIL component

3. Checked the retrieval process in the GENIL_BOL_BROWSER: it's working just fine

4. Created a new component, and inserted a new view based on my new GenIL component, Adjusted .htm for correct rendering. The context node I selected as TABLE type

5. Created a default and a role-based UI configurations

6. Tested a new component: it displayed the table correctly

Now, I need to incorporate the main window of my new component into an existing overview page that already contains several windows. No matter what I'm doing, when I'm trying to add a view in the Runtime Environment, the wizard picks a view instead of a window.

As you remember, a view has an .htm unlike a window, and it looks like suppressing any attempt to render the newly added view on the screen.

Can anyone tell me what is missing, what I do wrong, and whether a config step should be involved.

I know, there's an exercise 8 (Part 2) for the new CRM UI 2007 Deep-dive that includes a view info a component view set but they're dealing with an overview page while I'm doing it for a result page. That's why it's not much help 'cause the steps look totally different from an OV view.

FYI, I have not yet created OP and IP as well as NavLinks for the new view, nor I adjusted .htm for the existing page.

I would appreciate any tip and any small bit of information you guys can share
