set up value to a form control

Posted on by Community Member

Hi, I want to set a form field value after doing a modification on another field in the same form. I've created a modify method to fill the second field automatically and I tried too many functions but the field is not filled when modifying the first one.

I want to know how to refer to fields from the same form using x++ code?

The value I want to set is a real value and I want it to be changed before creating the line int the table,  because some fields can't be modified after the

    Ok

    For Control1

    example

    public boolean modified()

    {

       boolean ret;

       real    value;

       ret = super();

       switch (Control1.selection())

       {

           case AccountingEventType::Cancel:

               value = 100;

               break;

           case AccountingEventType::Finalize:

               value = 1000;

               break;

           default:            

               value = Control1.selection();

       }

       Control2.realValue(value);

       element.redraw();

       return ret;

    }

    Hi Grigory,

    I don't need to assign a value to the combo box, but to the next field after modifying the combo box . I'll try to explain more:

    I have two controls in  my form (control 1 and control 2).

    control 1 is a combo box that has two enums: enum1 and enum2, and the second control is a realEdit field.

    if i choose enum 1 in the combo box, control 2 displays  realValue1 automatically, if not, control 2 displays realValue2.

    Hi!

    for example

    public boolean modified()

    {

       boolean ret;

       ret = super();

       ComboBox.selection(1);

       element.redraw();

       return ret;

    }

    Hi Crispin,

    Yes that's what i'm doing. I tried to test with an info message and the table field is getting the right value but i'm having troubles with displaying it in the form instantly. What I need is quite simple: a function that allows me to assign a real value to a realEdit form control just after modifying the previous field (which is a combo box)

    Hey Ameni Omrani,

    Could you please share  your code ? It's hard to say what is wrong without seeing actual code.

    Meanwhile you can check this blog post ajstudi0.blogspot.co.nz/.../microsoft-dynamics-ax-table-method.html
