Automatically pre-populate VFpage Lookup

Hi. I have a VFpage which mimics the layout of an object in my org. The intention is to have a custom Add and Save button on the create/edit screen.

 

The VFpage is as follows:

<apex:page standardController="Call__c" extensions="TimesheetFindSOQL">
<apex:sectionHeader title="Call__c Edit" subtitle="{!Call__c.name}"/> 
<apex:form > 
<apex:pageBlock title="Call__c Edit" mode="edit">

<!--buttons for the VFpage at the top-->

<apex:pageBlockButtons location="top">
<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/> 
<apex:commandButton value="Save & New" action="{!save}" /> 
<apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/> 
</apex:pageBlockButtons>

<!--buttons for the VFpage at the bottom-->

<apex:pageBlockButtons location="bottom"> 
<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}"/> 
<apex:commandButton value="Save & New" action="{!save}" /> 
<apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}"/> 
</apex:pageBlockButtons>

<!--Fields from Call object with mandatory/non-mandatory flag indicators-->

<apex:pageBlockSection title="Information" columns="2"> 
<apex:inputField value="{!Call__c.Account__c}" required="true"/> 
<apex:inputField value="{!Call__c.Timesheet__c}" required="true"/>
<apex:inputField value="{!Call__c.Contact__c}" required="false"/> 
<apex:inputField value="{!Call__c.RecordTypeId}" required="false"/> 
<apex:inputField value="{!Call__c.Call_Date__c}" required="false"/> 
<apex:inputField value="{!Call__c.Call_Category__c}" required="false"/> 
<apex:inputField value="{!Call__c.Call_Notes__c}" required="false"/> 

</apex:pageBlockSection>

</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:form>
</apex:page>

Tthe aim here is to populate 

 

<apex:inputField value="{!Call__c.Timesheet__c}" required="true"/>

with the result of some SoQL.

 

I have a class, but my issue is what on earth to do with these two entities:

 

public with sharing class TimesheetFindSOQL {

    public TimesheetFindSOQL(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {

    }

//instance variable
public Timesheet__c record {get; set;}

//class constructor
public TimesheetFindSOQL() {
  List<Timesheet__c> records = [Select Id, Name From Timesheet__c WHERE Week_Beginning__c = 2013-03-25];
  if(!records.isEmpty()) {
    record = records.get(0);
        }
    record = records.get(1);

    }
}

 Where do I go from this point?

public with sharing class TimesheetFindSOQL {

    public TimesheetFindSOQL(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
		
		for(Timesheet__c record : [Select Id, Name From Timesheet__c WHERE Week_Beginning__c = 2013-03-25])
		{
			Call__c call = (Call__c)controller.getRecord();
			call.Timesheet__c = record.Id;
		}
    }
}

 Try the above code.

Ok that seems fine, no errors when put in, thanks so far! I need to take the next logical step which is to make that run from the VFpage.

 

My logic dictates that I would need something like:

 

<apex:commandButton value="Add Timesheet" action="{!NO_IDEA_WHAT_GOES_HERE" />

as the next step in the VFpage to make thatTimesheetFindSOQL perform its action. My lack of structure knowledge is hampering me though.

 

I *think* (from what I read) you need a custom controller up where you kick off with <apex:page and then to define what action that controller takes. Although that is a very tentative assumption.
