Wizard: List Page

Wizard walkthrough · Core Studio 3.0 · Verified 2026-09-01

When to use it: you need the standard browse surface for a custom table — ActionPane, grid, quick filter — the form users land on.

Size: M · Automatable: fully.

Prerequisites

  • The primary table exists (scaffold it with the Table wizard first if not).
  • Metadata index at tier ≥3 for the grid-field picker (Microsoft tables parsed); without it the field step degrades to manual entry with a warning.

Steps

  1. Basics — name, model/module.
  2. Primary table — index-backed picker.
  3. Grid fields — multi-select from the table’s fields; defaults come from the AutoReport field group when the index models it.
  4. ActionPane — New/Delete/Edit defaults. ListPage grids are view-oriented per the pattern (read-only browse — editing happens in the details form).
  5. Menu item + placement — offer to attach to an AxMenu (coordinates with the Menu wizard).
  6. Summary — files, preview, commit.

Output anatomy

  • AxForm/<YourListPage>.xml — ListPage-preset form: ActionPane, read-only grid (AllowEdit=No), the quick filter as an untyped control + FormControlExtension.
  • AxMenuItemDisplay/<YourListPage>.xml — the display menu item.

Verify it worked

  • ListPage conformance: 0 errors; grid columns carry DataSource/DataField.
  • On-VM compile 0/0; open it — the grid browses read-only, the quick filter filters.

If it goes wrong

  • Field step says manual entry — the index hasn’t parsed the table’s fields yet (tier <3); wait for tier completion or type field names and let the build verify.
  • “Class ‘QuickFilterControl’ was not found” downstream — someone renamed the extension’s Name (it’s a platform class reference, not a label); restore the emitted value.

Next: Details form wizard for the maintenance form behind New/Edit.
