Hello Experts,

Please assist me to overcome on enabling/disabling the field on form.

we have requirement Customer account = filter by Customer Account Id -(Only enabled when Order type filter is set to All, Sales order, sales return order).

I have created active() method to do this but when i am marking to yes, customer account is still showing disable.

please see the below code.

public int active()
{
int ret;

ret = super();
if(OrdersTable.All && OrdersTable.SalesOrder && OrdersTable.SalesReturnOrder == NoYes::Yes)
{
OrdersTable_ds.object(fieldNum(OrdersTable, CustAccount)).allowEdit(true);
}
else
{
OrdersTable_ds.object(fieldNum(OrdersTable, CustAccount)).allowEdit(false);
}

return ret;
}

below is screenshot.

If you want the field to get enabled immediately when you change the check box, having your logic in active() isn't enough, because that gets executed only when you change rows. Extract your logic from active() to a separate method and call it from active() as well as from modified() methods of relevant fields.

I'm sorry, I didn't get enough information to know what's happening in your system.

First please tell us whether it works if you switch between records. If it does, if you have a bug in your code in modified(). If not, you have a bug in the enabling logic.

Also use the debugger to verify that your code gets executed as expected, e.g. whether the "if" condition is evaluated to true when it should.

Without knowing what logic you are using cant say what you are missing . Can you share you code or screen shot will help to identify issue.

Hi Martin,

i have gone through debugger to verify the code and it's getting executed successfully.

it's working but not reflecting/enabling immediately. when i am opening the form, marked check box then the field is still disable but when i am opening form again. it's showing enabled with marked check box.

Should I call refresh() method to reflect immediately or any other method?

FormDataSource > Field > modified ()

Write below code after super();

if(OrdersTable.All && OrdersTable.SalesOrder && OrdersTable.SalesReturnOrder == NoYes::Yes)

{

OrdersTable_ds.object(fieldNum(OrdersTable, CustAccount)).allowEdit(true);

}

else

{

OrdersTable_ds.object(fieldNum(OrdersTable, CustAccount)).allowEdit(false);

}

remove other peace of code and check

or
