It looks very interesting :-)
However I keep getting the error that the record was not found.
Might it be that I need to change the defaultAdvFindViewId?

Yes correct, please change the GUID to the advance find view id of the same entity. Configure every component as its written in my blog, It should work. If doesn't work, please let me know the error message.
Thank you.

Thanks for your post.
But when i make entry through advanced view. To display current record in view. i need to click on refresh button. I need to have it as autorefreshment.

Could you please tell me how it can be done?

Priya said...

Thanks. Can we remove the space above the grid (the menubar is hidden though), but there is space in that area.

Please do keep up your great work.
