When we create a dialog, how do we get the selection criteria for the record (Select button) and how do we disable the select button on the Dialog ?
I will assume you use the RunBase framework.
For the dialog part of your question see Axapta Dialog Validation.
To show the query dialog, you must provide two methods:
public boolean showQueryValues()
{
return true;
}
and
public QueryRun queryRun()
{
return queryRun;
}
The queryRun method must return a valid non-null value.
The queryRun instance variable is usually assigned a value in the unpack and initParmDefault methods.
Take a look on the CustInterestCancel class for a concise example.
How to disable the select button: return false from showQueryValues.

I want to initialize a value of an edit method inside the init method of form, i wrote this:
[Form]
public class foo extends FormRun
{
str paymTermId;
public void init()
{
CustTable custTable = CustTable::find("DE-001");
paymTermId = custTable.paymTermId;
super();
}
edit str edtpaymTermId(boolean set, str _paymTermId)
{
if (set)
{
paymTermId= _paymTermId;
}
return paymTermId ;
}
}
But when i open the form the control remains empty.
any suggestions?
I tried to reproduce the issue, but was not successful. For me, when opening the form, the control shows a value.
A possible reason why it is not working for you could be that you open the form in the wrong company. In your code, you retrieve the value to display in the control from the payment term of customer DE-001. This customer exists in company USMF in the Contoso demo data and has payment term Net10. If the form is opened in this company, the value is shown in the control. If you are in another company (e.g. DAT), no value is shown.
I see 2 things that are wrong:
You are setting the value BEFORE super(). It should be after.
You SHOULDN'T initialize the value via field, you should do it calling edit method. Edit methods have a boolean SET parameter which can simulate a call for setting a value.
Is there a way to display an info log when selecting a certain record in a dropdown menu/based on a field value?
For example:
When creating a new Quotation, if I select a customer which is bankrupt (so the value on the field bankrupt is true for that customer.) I want to show a info dialog: "Bankrupt!" I want to show this before the record is being created, at the moment it is being selected.
In your form find the field you want (form layout, no datasource), override Modified method an put your code before super();
To get the value use: this.text(); Here you can get the select value before insert.
Code example:
public boolean modified()
{
boolean ret;
CustTable custTable = CustTable::find(this.text());
if (custTable.Bankrupt == NoYes::Yes)
info("Bankrupt!");
ret = super();
return ret;
}
I've created a simple form with an enum field on a grid, dragged from the DataSource CompanyImage:
Table CompanyImage has an Index on this field named Brand in my example and AllowDuplicates is set to No :
And here is the form:
I've overridden the close() method of the form like this:
public void close()
{
CompanyImage_ds.write();
super();
}
An error is displayed when I close it saying that
"Cannot create a record in CompanyImage(CompanyImage). Legal entities: Example1.
The record already exists."
That's fine but I would like a way to stop closing the window when this happens. A validateWrite() would be nice but I am not really able to figure out where and what to write in order to accomplish this behavior.
I mean, how to check that new row is added and it contains a field that already exists in the table ?
You shouldn't have to force the write() method. Closing the form should already do it.
If you wish to check something to allow the form to be closed, the close() method is too late in execution. You should leverage the canClose() method.
You could override the validate method of the grid column. You would need to write some validation logic in that method but that would prevent the column from saving at all if validation failed.
public boolean validate()
{
boolean ret;
// write your own validation logic
if (validation logic is true)
{
ret = true;
}
return ret;
}
On Dynamics AX 2012,Passing between two step form a parameter that I would use to change the data source of the second form;
how you pass a parameter from the init form to init the data source?
I hope I have understood the question
If you wanto to pass a parameter between forms, you have multiway.
One solution.
In Form - A override a method clicked() control Button
void clicked()
{
Args args;
FormRun formRun;
;
args = new Args();
args.name(formstr(nameyourFormB));
args.record(nameTableSourceRecords);
args.caller(element);
formRun=new FormRun(args);
formRun.run();
formRun.wait();
}
So , in the SecondForm - Form - B
override method init()
public void init()
{
super();
if(element.args() && element.args().record() &&element.args().record().TableId == tableNum(nameSourceRecords))
{
nameTableSourceRecords = element.args().record() ;
stringEdit.text(nameTableSourceRecords.nameFieldTableSourceRecords);
}
}
You have to insert in Designs node Form-B a one StringEdite (set AutoDeclaration YES) in Properties.
Now, you open Form-A select a record, click on control Button -> will Open Form-B and you have set a value in your StringEdit control.
I hope to help you.
Greetings!
Get the parameter in the form.init(), save it to a variable in your form's classdeclaration, then override the datasource's init() method and manually create a FormDataSource object using the passed in parameter to determine the datasource.
Although I'm not sure how you're going to show this on form controls...the controls will expect the datasource to be what it is set up as. There's probably a better way to achieve whatever you're trying to do.
One solution of this is to use EnumTypeParameter and EnumParameter property on menuitem of child form. Set these parameter value on parent form and on child form init you just need an if clause then. like:
if (args.parmEnumType() == yourEnum && args.parmEnum() == 'yourEnumValue')
{
//set the desired datasource
}

I have modified a validate method of form control. On this control I'm typing the product name.
In validate method I'm checking if this product name exists in the table. If it does not exists the error is thrown.
My issue is that after the error is thrown I want to clear control. Here is my code:
public boolean validate()
{
InventTable inventTable;
boolean ret = super();
select inventTable
where inventTable.nameAlias == this.text();
if (!inventTable.recid)
{
error("error");
this.text("");
}
return ret;
}
this.text(""); does not work. So how can I clear the control? The control is a field from my datasource.
In validate methods you do not need to clear the field. The system does that for you when validate returns false.
So instead of this.text('')) just return false.
But I doubt that the idea of users entering the full name is really useful at all.
If you use NameAlias as an alternate item number an even easier option exist.
Change the AliasFor property on the InventTable.NameAlias field to point to ItemId.
When entering in an ItemId and you enter a NameAlias instead, it is translated to the corresponding item id by the AX run-time. This happens everywhere an item id is entered and validated.
