Hello,

I'm facing the requirenment, that I have to change the context (datasource) of the document handling button (paper-clip Icon on the top Right of every form).

As far as i understand the button is bound to the main datasource of the form. I need to change it to a "non-main-datasource" in a ListPage. Due to other reasons I could not change the "dataSource" property of the form itself.

In the ListPageInteraction class tried somithing like, but I didn't find any method changing the datasource context:

#SysSystemDefinedButtons

FormCommandButtonControl attachButton;

attachButton= this.control(this.controlId(#SystemDefinedAttachButton)) as FormCommandButtonControl;

attachButton…..

Any ideas on this?

Thanks in Advance

Sebastian

Thanks for your response. I found a possible solution to this requirenment. The solution could be implemented via "overriding" the form method "docCursor":

In a ListPage this has to be done via COC:

Common docCursor()

{

Common ret = next docCursor();

ret = salesTable;

return ret;

}

The "docCursor" method returns the pointer for the DocuView Form.

I would look into customizing the DocuRef form code, not the caller form. If DocuRef is opened from form X, change the data source query of DocuRef.

What form is it? What data source do you want to link it to? Why?
