StandardController Methods
The following are methods for StandardController. All are instance methods.
-
addFields(fieldNames)
When a Visualforce page is loaded, the fields accessible to the page are based on the fields referenced in the Visualforce markup. This method adds a reference to each field specified in fieldNames so that the controller can explicitly access those fields as well. -
cancel()
Returns the PageReference of the cancel page. -
delete()
Deletes record and returns the PageReference of the delete page. -
edit()
Returns the PageReference of the standard edit page. -
getId()
Returns the ID of the record that is currently in context, based on the value of the id query string parameter in the Visualforce page URL. -
getRecord()
Returns the record that is currently in context, based on the value of the id query string parameter in the Visualforce page URL. -
reset()
Forces the controller to reacquire access to newly referenced fields. Any changes made to the record prior to this method call are discarded. -
save()
Saves changes and returns the updated PageReference. -
view()
Returns the PageReference object of the standard detail page.
