How to control opening/closing the form based on a certain condition

Hi,

I have a display menu item, when clicked it opens a dialog form.
Now this menu item appears on two tabs

When clicked on the first one, i want the dialog to appear as normal where i fill some fields then click ok (and there is some logic on the ok method)

But when this menu item is clicked from another tab, then i don't want the dialog to appear and fill some fields, i want to pass the value of one of the fields by code and run the logic on the ok method directly. how to do that?

    Let the menu item call a SysOperation controller class. There you can use parmShowDialog() to decide whether to show the dialog or not based on a condition. Using an enum parameter on the menu item button make sense to me. I would avoid overriding cllick() and putting the business logic there - having the logic in the controller makes it reusable.

    Hi,
     
    Maybe you can set the ‘Enum Type Parameter‘and ‘Enum Parameter‘  on the menu item and check its value on the init method of the form.  Check the following blog for more details:
    https://dynamics365musings.com/how-to-send-enum-parameters-to-forms/
     
    But why you want to implement it in this way? You can simply on the first tab add the menu item and in the second tab use button control and override its clicked method and add the code that you want on it.
