Hello,
Does anyone Know How to open an Item using aras.uiShowItemInFrameEx();
i tried the below way.
It´s in it´s name, you need a frame.
Your code should work, but I don´t think "window" will.
You can reuse existing elements (document.getElementBy..) in Innovator to append your custom content. Or: One classic approach is to use an empty html frame element inside a regular Form.
But I wonder if this is the best solution for your use case.
Do you use the classification property in your ItemType? If not, this would be a much easier solution. Use two Forms for each classification. Button click then just changes the classification.
Hello,
There are a few different options here. I'd recommend first to consider using classification-based forms. This way you can get a proper form appearing using OOTB functionality when the user changes the classification of the ItemType.
One other thing you could do is open the part form in a new tab with aras.uiShowItem.
If you need to completely replace the form, I've found that the following code works from an onClick event of a button at least in R33.

Be aware that the form will be re-drawn to the original if you edit/refresh/etc.
Hey christopher_gillis , is there a way to make the item editable when using aras.uiShowItemInFrameEx? We have a use case where we want to display an item's form and would have a button on the form to save/apply the edits. As of now using the command we seem to just get a read-only version of the form.
I am interested in this question too!
Maybe some idea for you to copy. Make your own buttons!
I used aras.uiShowItemInFrameEx to get the target form and added a custom "Edit","Save","Abort" and "Refresh" button by myself:
