How to disable a button on a form based on the selected record

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 150

When I select a record on the form and the status field(type enum) of the record  is "start" then the button "pickup " in the form  should be enabled.

Then I edit the record and update it from the form and  the status becomes "stop". Then when I select the record , then the "pickup" button should be disabled.

Where should I write the code in form level ? At the data source of the form or in form>datasource>field(status)>method?

Could you show the code..I am a beginner in ax2012

    In an extension of a standard form in d365 , the active method can't be overridden. 

    1)So do we use event handlers ? If so which one?

    2)If I have multiple datasources in the form , then for which one do we write the code?

    Hi PrachiGupta,

    You can override active() of datasource.

    Code like this:

    Button.enabled(Table.LoadStatus == Status::Start ? true : false);
