Hello, i have a quick technical question,

I want just to loop all Form Part exist in a given form,

here is my code to retrieve all Form Parts from DirPartyTable form

But i can't get the result

public class TestFormParts
{
    public void findFormParts(FormBuildControl _buildControl)
    {
        Set                 buttonsSet = new Set(Types::Class);


        FormBuildControl    buildControl;
        int                 i;
        ;

        if (_buildControl.controlCount() > 0)
        {
            for (i = 1; i <= _buildControl.controlCount(); i  )
            {
                buildControl = _buildControl.controlNum(i);
                Info(strFmt("%1", _buildControl.name()));
                this.findFormParts(buildControl);
                
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (classidget(_buildControl) == classnum(FormContainerControl))
            {
                buttonsSet.add(_buildControl);
            }
        }
    }

    public static void main(Args _args)
    {
        TestFormParts tes = new testFormParts();
        Form                myForm;
        FormBuildDesign     design;
        FormBuildControl    control;
        FormRun             formRun;
        int                 cnt = 0;

        _args = new Args();
        _args.name(formStr(DirPartyTable));
        formRun = classfactory.formRunClass(_args);
        myForm = formRun.form();
        design = myForm.design();

        for (cnt = 1; cnt <= design.controlCount(); cnt  )
        {
            control = design.controlNum(cnt);
            tes.findFormParts(control);
        }
    }

}

Thanks

Hi Adax,

Did you try New metadata API?

Please refer this blog: community.dynamics.com/.../new-metadata-api

Previously there were similar threads that traversed all controls of the form:

Try the following; I used it in AX 2012.

PartList partList = new PartList(formRun); for(int i = 1; i <= partList.partCount(); i ) { FormRun part = partList.getPartById(i); }

Hi Martin,

I've tried this, my Following code now is:

PartList always null

public class GetFormParts { public static void main(Args _args) { Form myForm; FormBuildDesign design; FormBuildControl control; FormRun formRun; _args = new Args(); _args.name(formStr(DirPartyTable)); formRun = classfactory.formRunClass(_args); PartList partList = new PartList(formRun); for(int i = 1; i <= partList.partCount(); i ) { FormRun part = partList.getPartById(i); } } }

If I was you, I would try it on a running form. I assume you would learn that it works there and the bug in your code is caused by something else than the code I gave you. I see you haven't initialized the form (formRun.init()), which looks like the key problem to me.

Hi Blue Wang.

Traversing all form controls, doesn't access to FormParts

In DirPartyTable standard form, exist 2 form parts, while looping through all controls, the process stop on TabPage parents of these 2 form parts, stop on AddressTabePage, ContactInfoTabPage, and can't access to AddressGridFormPart & ContactInfoFormPart

AddressGridFormPart & ContactInfoFormPart controls in DirPartyTable form, have "FormContainerControl" as a type

AddressGridFormPart:

ContactInfoFormPart:

I'm wondering if looping partList can help to get these 2 controls.

Here is the result of my code, i got the associated FactBox of DirPartyTable form and not AddressGridFormPart & ContactInfoFormPart controls (type FormContainerControl.) the goal

public class GetFormContainerControls { public static void main(Args _args) { FormRun formRun; _args = new Args(); _args.name(formStr(DirPartyTable)); formRun = classfactory.formRunClass(_args); formRun.init(); PartList partList = new PartList(formRun); for(int i = 1; i <= partList.partCount(); i ) { FormControl fcontrol = partList.getPartControlById(i); if(fcontrol) { Info(strFmt("the part control name %1", fcontrol.name())); } //FormRun part = partList.getPartById(i); //if(part.name()) NULL //{ // Info(strFmt("the part name %1", part.name())); //} } } }

No, it won't, because it's a different thing. To work form controls, you can use the approach mentioned in your question and the first reply in this thread.

It looks like that you original question is now answered. If it's the case, please mark the verified answer. Feel free to create new threads if you have other topics to discuss.

Yes I'm trying to solve it, by using first approach of my first post, by looping all controls and get sub controls when CountrolCount()>0.

The goal is get AddressGridFormPart and ContactInfoFormPart controls

AddressGridFormPart and ContactInfoFormPart (FormContainerControl) exist in TabPages (AddressTabPage & ContactInfoTabPage)

My code access to AddressTabPage control, but can't loop through to get "AddressGridFormPart"

The same for ContactInfoTabPage with "ContactInfoFormPart".

Here is my code

using Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Metadata.MetaModel; public class GetFormContainerControls { public static void main(Args _args) { GetFormContainerControls tes = new GetFormContainerControls(); Form myForm; FormBuildDesign design; FormBuildControl control; FormRun formRun; int cnt = 0; _args = new Args(); _args.name(formStr(DirPartyTable)); formRun = classfactory.formRunClass(_args); myForm = formRun.form(); design = myForm.design(); for (cnt = 1; cnt <= design.controlCount(); cnt ) { control = design.controlNum(cnt); tes.findformContainerCtrls(control); } } public void findformContainerCtrls(FormBuildControl _buildControl) { FormBuildControl buildControl; int i; ; if (_buildControl.controlCount() > 0) { for (i = 1; i <= _buildControl.controlCount(); i ) { buildControl = _buildControl.controlNum(i); this.findformContainerCtrls(buildControl); } } else { if (((classidget(_buildControl)) == classNum(FormBuildTabPageControl))) //Here i want access to the TabPage (AddressTabPage & ContactInfoTabPage) { if(_buildControl.isContainer()) //Here i check if the this tabPage is container { for (i = 1; i <= _buildControl.controlCount(); i ) //Here always is controlCount = 0, no loop { buildControl = _buildControl.controlNum(i); Info(strFmt(" Form container Control name %1", _buildControl.name())); //Here i wanna show the FormContainerCntrolName (AddressGridFormPart & ContactInfoFormPart) this.findformContainerCtrls(buildControl); } } } } } }

Here is how you can do it with the new metadata API mentioned at the beginning:

using Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Metadata.MetaModel; class MetadataDemo { public static void main(Args _args) { AxForm form = Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.MetadataSupport::GetForm(formStr(DirPartyTable )); new MetadataDemo().showCollectionControlNames(form.Design); } private void showCollectionControlNames(IFormControlCollection _control) { var controlEnumerator = _control.Controls.GetEnumerator(); while (controlEnumerator.MoveNext()) { AxFormControl control = controlEnumerator.Current; if (control is IFormControlCollection) { info(control.Name); this.showCollectionControlNames(control as IFormControlCollection); // Recursion } } } }
