[fusion-users] Fusion: calling custom search widget

[Warren Medernach]

Thanks Paul,
With your help and a couple posts I've found I've gotten a little further now.

I guess the next question is, can I 'get' a custom Search command in the way I am trying to?
The message now says: Fusion.getWidgetById("SearchAddress") is null

The ID of my command is SearchAddress, so it doesn't appear to be finding it?
I've been digging through the fusionSF.js and I see some specific calls for searches:
                getSearchDefinitions
                getSearchCategories

I wonder if I need to be using these to get at the search commands?

Not really sure but did you try calling activate as a function? notice "()"

window.top.Fusion.getWidgetById('SearchAddress').activate();

Hello all,
I have a search defined in a Fusion app that works fine, and this search is defined to execute in a specified frame.  I can control the opening and closing of this frame via javascript, but what I want to do is script this so I can call to open the frame and then load the Search command.

I was thinking of wrapping this in an InvokeScript call, so I'm looking for help with the syntax to 'call/activate/initialize' the custom search widget.
I've seen other samples using something like:
window.top.Fusion.getWidgetById('Map').drawMap()  to refresh a map

My search ID is 'SearchAddress' so I've tried:
window.top.Fusion.getWidgetById('SearchAddress').activate;

But that doesn't seem to work.
