Hi All, I am starting to build a component that allows to add, edit and delete items into/from a List/Grid view. The use case is where we want to add multiple phone/address items as part of adding a contact.
- User enters Contact related details - User gets a list of pre-existing(if any) Phone numbers that he then selects to edit like in a data grid - User can also add multiple numbers by clicking Add button. - User clicks on Save button that saves the contact details and associates the phone numbers with the contact. (If user has removed an item that is also updated) The way I plan to do it is to use the CRUD pattern. - A List displays pre-existing phone numbers. - Add new button displays a detail page, where user can enter the new number details and click Ok or Done - OnOk or OnDone the item is added to the pre-existing List and the repeater is refreshed to display the new item. - On the same lines user can edit an item from the list. I feel i am rebuilding something that already is built or can be extended. I looked at the examples of editable Datagrid but I guess it does not by default offer a 'Add new' item to the list. Has someone extended Datagrid to provide this functionality or is there one available part of Wicket or WicketStuff? Can someone suggest if the approach am about to take worth the time or should I look at DataGrid functionality? Would appreciate any thoughts design approaches on this topic. Many thanks Niv
