Posted on by junior AX 1,552
Hi,
 
There is a drop down fields that has class names
And there is a button
 
I want to say that if the class value chosen inhertits from a certain class then hide this button.
I need to say if it inherits from it directly.
 
So let's say we have base class A
Class B is child of A
Class C is child of B
 
The code needs to say any class that inherits directly from A, then the button needs to be disabled
 
So in this case if we choose class B, button will be disabled
But if we choose class C it won't

    Hi Junior,
     
    As Martin told you can make use of Extend method of DictClass. You can also make use of the ExtendedBy which will give the list of class that extend a specified class.
    For more details refer to the below Microsoft Documentation.
     
    Thanks,
    Girish S.
