    Try to use FormRealControl class instead of FormControl.

    Like:

    FormRealControl     purcPrice = formRun.design().controlName("PurchasePrice");

    Not 100% sure if the class name is FormRealControl or something slightly different (and I don't have a system at hand) but the point is that you need to use correct type of form control.

    Hi Nikolaos,

       i try use this events.

       [FormControlEventHandler(formControlStr(PurchCreateFromSalesOrder, SalesLine_PIL_TransType), FormControlEventType::Modified)]

       public static void SalesLine_PIL_TransType_OnModified(FormControl sender, FormControlEventArgs e)

       {

           FormRun         formRun = sender.formRun();

           FormDataSource  salesLine_ds = sender.formRun().dataSource();

           SalesLine       salesLine = salesLine_ds.cursor();

           FormControl     purcPrice = formRun.design().controlName("PurchasePrice");

           ;

           salesLine.PIL_BasePrice          = purcPrice.realValue();

       }

    i get error because "class 'FormControl' does not contain a definition for method 'realValue'.

    please help me, whats wrong?

    thanks.

    Hi Andre,

    PurchasePrice is one name control in grid Form PurchCreateFromSalesOrder, and this control not use field in table SalesLine, but use method edit specifyUnitPrice() in dataSource SalesLine. So i can't use table method modifiedField().

    i want if i fill field PIL_TransType, PIL_BasePrice can get value from this control.

    so, if controlName PurchasePrice change value, PIL_BasePrice can save history real value before changes Price.

    If  control uses data method  the you are going to get the same values by calling that data method  on sales line variable . In the modified event , if you are getting salesline variable in the modified event , which I think you can get ,just call that data method to get the value you want .

    If you want to get value from form control, you can call ControlName.realValue() if it's a real type field.

    Hi PIL,

    If I do understand it correctly, you want to fill the PIL_BasePrice at the moment you have changed the PIL_TransType. You can use the table method modifiedField() and add some logic.

    However what is the exact definition of your PurchasePrice? Is the sales order linked to a purchase order using e.g. reservations? The specifyUnitPrice method is not familiar in my environment.
