Override init method in CustTable form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by KareemTaima 304

Hello,

It's my first time to use D365,

As part of the learning process I need to customize the init method in the data source of CustTable in the CustTable form

I'm aware of the extension concept, but no valuable practice yet, so I would appreciate any help or guide through this

Thanks

    Hi Kareem,

    Please check the MS documentation on Chain of Command here to get a basic idea of how you should go about this. You can also check this post for examples of extending form methods.

    You have two main options:

    Either use Chain of Command (CoC) to wrap the standard method in your own method. You'll need to create a final class (decorated with ExtensionOf attribute and with name ending with _Extension) and put your code there. For example:

    [ExtensionOf(formStr(CustTable))]
final class MyCustTable_Extension
{
    public void init()
    {
        next init(); // this calls the standard implemention
        
        info("It works");
    }
}

    The other option is using an event handler. Expand the list of events of CustTable form, right-click one of them (such as OnInitialized) and choose "Copy event handler method". Then place this method to a class, (optionally) rename it and put some code into it.
