Hi All,

when the form is in edit mode the control has lookup behavior which is required but when it is in non-edit mode, it is hyperlinked which I don't want.

The following picture represents edit mode behavior.

The following picture represents non-edit mode behavior and contain hyperlinked data.

I just want to remove hyperlink from the text in non-edit mode.

Thanks,

Raziq

Hi Mohammad,

This is standard behavior if there is a relation to another table and the menu-item is set on the table.

Can you indicate why you have this requirement and if it is only related to this field or was this only one example of many links you want to get rid of?

This is related to only this field.

When it is in edit mode, it's showing lookup behavior which is required but when it is

hyperlinked in non-edit mode, if it is clicked, it is showing the following error

ERROR :"Could not process the lookupTable value on the Args instance. The table 'LogisticsLocation' does not exist as a root FormDataSource for the form 'DirPartyTable'."

Thanks,

Raziq

Hi,

I assume this is a customization? Then check if the correct menu item is used as FormRef on the table and also if the relation is setup correctly between this field and the reference table.

The requirement is not making much sense, but can be achieved as following

Go on DataSource, Reach to field where you want to stop "View Details"

and write method as under

public void jumpRef()

{

//super();

}

this should make hyperlink non-workable. you would not be able to "View Details". also nothing will happen if you will click hyperlink

Hi Raziq,

I can say one workaround, If edit mode it is going to correct master table, you can set default property of control as "Edit" instead of "Auto".. it will be always edit mode.

in addition to what I suggested before do one thing more i.e you can add what Bhaskar has told i.e set ViewEditMode = Edit (on control properties)

Hi Mohammad,

a dirty solution (for this one control could be the following:

overwrite the mothods jumpref, mousenter, mouseleave, the hyperlinks isn't shown anymore

public void mouseEnter(int _x, int _y, int _button, boolean _Ctrl, boolean _Shift) { if (!element.inViewMode()) { super(_x, _y, _button, _Ctrl, _Shift); } } public void mouseLeave() { if (!element.inViewMode()) { super(); } } public void jumpRef() { if (!element.inViewMode()) { super(); } }

Hi Douglas Noel,

That's what I want exactly which you have posted but the text should be in black color.
