Overriding Layouts
Ok, now that we have started to get funky, let's keep going. How can I change the layout on the fly for a specific view? Very easily, using yet another new method from the event object, called setLayout() or the layout argument to the setView() method.
event.setLayout( name );
event.setView( view="", layout=name );This is great, so we can change the way views are rendered on the fly programmatically. We can switch the content to a PDF in an instant. So let's do that
function home(event,rc,prc){
    if( event.valueExists('print') ){
        event.setLayout('layout.PDF');
    }
    // logic here
    // set view
    event.setView('general/home');
