Hi all,

I want to know how we can get caller's caller name. e.g. On sales order we have invoice tab when you click on invoice button new form- saleseditline opens. Now i have created new custom form like sales order form , from where i wanted to call invoice functionality but with different layout of form saleseditline form (like some controls or tab are removed from saleseditline form). To achieve this i am planning to use existing saleseditline form only, (this form is being called by class which is been called by either based sales order form or custom form)here i will add condition like based on caller's caller name it will chang saleseditline form layout. Kindly let me know if we can ado this or if there is any other approach to achieve this.

Why not just use the already present classes SalesEditLinesForm, for which there is an extended SalesEditLinesForm_Invoice already, and simply hide the tabs and controls as required on the standard forms?

In the init method of the form , we can check who the caller was .. We can change the display accordingly

For example in SalesEditLines,, we can have the below code.

str callerName;

salesFormLetter = element.args().caller();

if (salesFormLetter != null)

callerName = salesFormLetter.name();

if (callerName == 'SalesFormLetter_Invoice') // SalesFormLetter_Invoice is the menuItem that will call the SalesFormLetter

{

?// Write your code here.

}
