How do I cancel the ongoing action with a OnBeforeAction in AL for dynamics NAV?

Posted on by InsertX 450

So I am coding in AL-language to modify the working of MS dynamics BC. Now what I am trying to achieve is the following:

By default in a Sales Quote, when you press "Make Order" a dialog appears with the question if you're sure you want to convert your quote to an order.

Now I made my own dialog with a more specific statement that I call with the following statement: OnBeforeAction. Now when I press Yes, I want to convert the Quote to an Order. If I press No I obviously want to cancel the converting process.

At the moment I manage to let the dialog pop up but whatever option I take after I select the option the default dialog pops up to ask me if I am sure i want to make the conversion from Quote to Order.

So in short: I want to overrule the existing dialog so it doesn't pop up anymore with either select Yes or No option but it needs to continue the same functionality as the default dialog box has that pops up.

Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    I think u can use the default publisher to control the default popup dialog based on the conditions u can hide using handle boolean.

    As I have mentioned, if you want to stop processing add Error('').

    Ok I see. Now if i wanted to keep it more simple by showing both dialogs with mine first. Is there a way to stop the default dialog from showing when i click no and to continue to the default dialog box when i click yes?

    You can't do it that way. There is no way to skip the dialog box.

    I would suggest copy the whole function and plug it to OnBeforeRun. And do your coding there.

    Something like this :

    OnBeforeRun(VAR SalesHeader : Record "Sales Header";VAR IsHandled : Boolean)

    IsHandled := TRUE; //to make sure that the original function does not run

    TESTFIELD("Document Type","Document Type"::Quote);

    IF GUIALLOWED THEN

     IF NOT CONFIRM(ThisIsYourNewConfirmationMessage,FALSE) THEN //New confirmation message

       EXIT;

    IF CheckCustomerCreated(TRUE) THEN

     GET("Document Type"::Quote,"No.")

    ELSE

     EXIT;

    SalesQuoteToOrder.RUN(Rec);

    SalesQuoteToOrder.GetSalesOrderHeader(SalesHeader2);

    COMMIT;

    OnAfterSalesQuoteToOrderRun(SalesHeader2);

    IF GUIALLOWED THEN

     IF OfficeMgt.AttachAvailable THEN

       OpenPage := TRUE

     ELSE

       OpenPage := CONFIRM(STRSUBSTNO(OpenNewInvoiceQst,SalesHeader2."No."),TRUE);

    IF OpenPage THEN BEGIN

     CLEAR(SalesOrder);

     SalesOrder.CheckNotificationsOnce;

     SalesHeader2.SETRECFILTER;

     SalesOrder.SETTABLEVIEW(SalesHeader2);

     SalesOrder.RUN;

    END;

    Try adding the commit after your custom code and then add the Error('') statement so that it will stop executing the rest of the code.
