Posted on by One And Only Naveen 368
Hello Mentors
 
What is the work around or alternative to GetSelectionFilter() whenever it is not available for some list Page.
 
I tried below but not working.
 
field(VendorPostingGroup; VendorPostingGroup)
                    {
                        Caption = 'Vendor Posting Group';
                        ToolTip = 'Select the vendor posting group for the report.';
                        LookupPageId = "Vendor Posting Groups";
                        trigger OnLookup(var Text: Text): Boolean
                        var
                            LookupPage: Page "Vendor Posting Groups";
                            LookupRecord: Record "Vendor Posting Group";
                            RecRef: RecordRef;
                            FilterText: Text;
                            FieldValue: Text;
                        begin
                            LookupRecord.Reset();
                            LookupPage.SetTableView(LookupRecord);
                            LookupPage.Editable := false;
 
                            if LookupPage.RunModal() = Action::LookupOK then begin
                                LookupRecord.MarkedOnly := true;
                                LookupPage.GetRecord(LookupRecord);
                                Message('SelectedRecord: %1', LookupRecord.Count);
                            end;
                        end;
                    }

    Solution -
       field(VendorPostingGroup; VendorPostingGroup)
                        {
                            Caption = 'Vendor Posting Group';
                            ToolTip = 'Select the vendor posting group for the report.';
                            trigger OnLookup(var Text: Text): Boolean
                            var
                                LookupPage: Page "Vendor Posting Groups";
                                LookupRecord: Record "Vendor Posting Group";
                                RecRef: RecordRef;
                                CUSelectionMGT: Codeunit SelectionFilterManagement;
                            begin
                                Clear(CUSelectionMGT);
                                LookupRecord.Reset();
                                LookupPage.SetTableView(LookupRecord);
                                LookupPage.LookupMode(true);
                                if LookupPage.RunModal() = Action::LookupOK then begin
                                    LookupPage.SetSelectionFilter(LookupRecord);
                                    RecRef.GetTable(LookupRecord);
                                    VendorPostingGroup := CUSelectionMGT.GetSelectionFilter(RecRef, 1);
                                end;
                            end;
                        }

    Thank you for your response, I might be missing something from your suggestion as Rec is not available to use hence its not working..

    (The field is from a report's RequestPage snippet).

    Try with this: 
    if Page.RunModal(Page::"Vendor Posting Groups", Rec) = Action::LookupOK then
        Message('You selected: %1', Rec.Code);
