Modify row selection in lookup

Posted on by Abhinay Tharwal 1,244

Hi,

I have a multi-select lookup on a string control. I want to select rows in the lookup based on the values given in the string control separated by comma or semicolon.

Could you please suggest how to do it?

    Hi Abhinay,

    Can you explain your question? Possibly with a screenshot? Or are you looking for something similar to selecting address books per party?

    Hi André,

    [quote user="André Arnaud de Calavon"]Or are you looking for something similar to selecting address books per party?[/quote]

    That is correct, similar to the roles stored in DirPartyLocationRole, I will have an editable text box with multiple values, and when the user would hit the lookup the rows with the provided values would be selected already, in addition to that the user might add a few more rows.

    Regards,

    Abhinay

    If you want to implement something that works in the same way as an existing lookup in the system, you can simply look how it's implemented.

    Hi Abhinay,

    You can indeed look at the examples present in the application itself. There is also a blog available with detailed steps: community.dynamics.com/.../using-multi-select-lookup-control-in-microsoft-dynamics-ax-2012

    Hi André,

    Thank you for the link for reference! I have the multi-select working. But my requirement is a bit different.

    Maybe I will tweak the requirement a bit to make it more understandable (I wish I could post a screenshot)

    TextBox1 = Take values separated by commas or semi-colons from the user,

    TextBox2 (multi-select capable lookup) = based on the values given in the TextBox1 control, mark records in the lookup.

    Regards,

    Abhinay

    This link has the solution I was looking for:

    public container SSI_createContainers()
{
List            list = new List(Types::String);
ListIterator    i;
    container       RecIds, Names;
RecId           id;

//Create Container for the RecIds, Names
list = Global::strSplit(SalesParameters.SSI_MainAccountId,”;”);

i = new ListIterator(list);
while(i.more())
{
id = MainAccount::findByMainAccountId(i.value()).RecId;
RecIds += id;
Names += i.value();
i.next();
}

return [RecIds, Names];

}
