Question

i am stuck on a issue.hope somebody can guide me.

I have created a Custom Object named Hello.

i have added 2 fields in it named Lead & Accounts.and they both are lookups.

Now i can see related list of my object under Accounts and leads as well

I wanna add a custom button to this related list that should open any other custom visual force page.

Now when i reached here:

Name>> Setup>> Create>>Objects>>Hello>>Custom buttons & links.

I created a new button.

Inside this i clicked “List Button”

I found an option “Display in existing window using SideBar”

I also chose Content Source as VisualForcePage.

but

there is nothing in the Content Dropdown.

How i created the page

Name>> Setup>> Develop >>Pages>>new>>MyNewPage


<apex:page standardController="Hello__c" extensions="MyExtentionFile">

</apex:page>

I tried many combinations of Standard and custom controllers but could not get success.
hope somebody can help me.

I followed this link :

If you’re creating a list button you’ll also need to set the recordSetVar for it to show up as a potential content source for Hello__c. You can see this in action in the doc link from your question.

<apex:page standardController="Hello__c" recordSetVar="hellos" extensions="MyExtensionFile">

</apex:page>
