Calling modified() method of extended controls

Hello,

I am going to explain my case.

I am customizing a standard form, let's say ExampleForm. In this form i created a custom ComboBox control (ComboControl).

I made the form code extension and the control code extension. In the control code extension I do CoC of the modified method. In the form code extension i am calling 3 methods of ComboControl. selection(), allowEdit() and modified().

Well, this is when werids things begin. selection call works, allowEdit call works, buut modified call doesn't. When i call modified it seems that only call the standard modified method but it doesn't go in the custom modified method in the ComboControl code extension class. You may think that the code in the custom modified method is incorrect but it works when i change the value in the form. So, CoC it appears to work correctly. Also, i created a example method in the control code extension that works correctly.

[ExtensionOf(formStr(ExampleForm))]
final class ExampleForm_Extension
{
void formMethod()
{
ComboControl.selection(value) <---- It works
ComboControl.allowEdit(true) <---- It works
ComboControl.modified() <---- It doesn't work properly
ComboControl.testMethod() <---- It works
}
}

[Extension(formControlStr(ExampleForm, ComboControl))]
final class Exampleform_ComboControl_Extension
{
public void testMethod()
{
info(/test/);
}

public boolean modified()
{
boolean ret;

ret = next modified();

//Custom code

return ret;
}
}

I also tried overriding the modified method with registerOverrideMethod, with the same results.

Calling modified method is something I used to do on dynamics AX 2012.

Thanks in advance,

Eisenberk.
