How can I only Enable/Disable menu Button?

I successfully enabled a Button group in Return Table form with following code. So I thank the code can work. However, in the beginning, I plan to only unable a menu button "buttonUpdatePackingSlip" which is one of numbers in "GroupProcess". When I changed GroupProcess to buttonUpdatePackingSlip, my code does not work sometimes. I found the "buttonUpdatePackingSlip" is also called in another place. So, it affects my code. How can I let my code in Form extension run in the last step?

formrun.control(formRun.controlId(formControlStr(ReturnTable, GroupProcess))).enabled(false);

Best Regards,

JustZM

Hi JustZM,

You have to find all the references to "buttonUpdatePackingSlip" and figure out when your code should be called.

Did you try to search where button buttonUpdatePackingSlip enabled /disabled on that form ? You have to perform your action once standard method is executed.

Hi JustZM,

Look at the method 'enableUpdateJournalButtons()' in the class 'PurchTableForm', Please.

This method controls the enable/diable state of all these buttons.(buttonUpdatePurchaseOrder, buttonUpdateReceiptsList, buttonUpdatePackingSlip, buttonUpdateInvoice).

if (isCustomsEnabled) { ... } else if (!isCustomsEnabled && purchTable_W.CustomsImportOrder_IN && _buttonUpdatePurchaseOrder && buttonUpdateInvoiceRegistration && buttonUpdateBillOfEntry && _buttonUpdateReceiptsList && _buttonUpdatePackingSlip && _buttonUpdateInvoice) { _buttonUpdatePurchaseOrder.enabled(false); buttonUpdateInvoiceRegistration.enabled(false); buttonUpdateBillOfEntry.enabled(false); _buttonUpdateReceiptsList.enabled(false); _buttonUpdatePackingSlip.enabled(false); _buttonUpdateInvoice.enabled(false); }

These standard list pages have a straightforward logic and you should try to put your code aligned with existing code and not something on formrun etc.

Please have a look at next method.

\Classes\SalesTableType\canPackingslipBeUpdated

If you would not respect the existing code, things may or may not work sometimes (as you have mentioned earlier in your original thread)

Respect the existing code.

Hi All

Thanks for your reply. After go thought code. I found where is the system code to enable/unable buttonUpdatePackingSlip in return Table. I found, if my code can run after system code, my function will work. But how can I let my code run after system code.

The system code is executed in ReturnTable(form) -> SalesTable(form data source)-> selectionChanged(). After finish selectionChanged(), the code will move to next function under Salesline(form data source.)

How can I make my code is aligned with excited code or run before/after some function?

Is there any link, I can learn that?

Best Regards,

JustZM

You can do COC on that method and write your code as per your business requirement .

Hi

I tried to create a COC, and set System code run before my code. But I failed with error. It's not a COC Method.

How could I fix it?

You are trying to implement coc in event handler . Just look at standard documentation for a syntax.

Hi Sukrut

If I cannot use COC in event Handler, I have two questions.

First: the SelectionChanged() is function under Form DataSource, "public void selectionChanged()". Can I used COC for this function? I followed documentation, and it shows same error, either I add public before void or not.

second: If I do not use event handler, how can I let form knows which record I am checking.

I am kind of confuse about those questions. Thanks for your help.

Best Regards,

JustZM

To use CoC on form data source, you must create a class like ExtensionOf(formDataSourceStr(FormName, DataSourceName))...

Then you can refer to the data source as "this" and get current record with "this.cursor()".
