SSRS Contract Class Parameter (Grey Out Parameter OR Make parameter Invisible)

Report

Posted on by Community Member

Hey All,

I'm trying to Grey out a field in the Report UI builder by modifying the contract class and compiling it and generating incremental CIL.

I did add SysOperationControlVisibilityAttribute(false) to the DataMemberAttribute which ideally should be removing this particular field from the Report Form UI. Somehow parameter is still shown when i fire up report from menu. (AX Client has been restarted too).

I see assistance in knowing the follwoing?

1.How to Remove it completely?
2. How to Grey out from UI (users still can see it, but cannot change the default option)

Quick assistance is very much appreciated.

If you want to remove it completely, you can delete this parameter method and remove this parameter calling part in the RDP class.

You could use change the parameter visible property in the Visual Studio for hiding the parameter.

Make sure that you are using the below code and not added other attributes.

[DataMemberAttribute, SysOperationControlVisibilityAttribute(false)]

public int parmIntProperty(int _parmIntProperty = parmIntProperty)

{

parmIntProperty = _parmIntProperty;

return parmIntProperty;

}

If you still face the same issue, try to restart the reporting service.

Ok, so am trying to gray out or make this invisible in Bill Of exchange Journal report (screen shot attached).

Also, attached the contract class code change where i'm passing

SysOperationControlVisibilityAttribute(false) on this field, so it will skip from UI builder call and wont show up when the report form in opened (at least that is what i understood from help).
But even after this change, i still see it in the form. I do not think i need to change anything in Visual Studio for this report design, as this change must reflect as soon as it is fired from AX client (irrespective of whether i run report of not).

Can you advice, what did i got wrong? Or to accomplish this, what should i be doing?

Try to use the below code.

[DataMemberAttribute('Transactions'), SysOperationControlVisibilityAttribute(false)] public boolean parmTransactions(boolean _transactions = transactions) { ... }

If you are still facing the same issue, restart the reporting service and AOS.

Hey Hari, tried all your recommendations, unfortunately, none worked. Restarted AOS & RS, did compile, forward compile and incremental CIL, it still shows the parameter. I did tried in multiple AX environments and they are behave the same. Unable to figure what went wrong..!

Hi ax_evangelist,

Did you try to make this parameter invisible in VS ?

If you want to disable this parameter ( make it gray and not editable) you need to use UI builder class

Contrary to my belief that form is fired even before VS comes in to pic, after making the parameter hidden in VS and redeploying, it worked. Thanks Ievegen and Hari for the help. Very much appreciated.
