How to disable Enum element in AX 2012

Posted on by Mohammad Raziq Ali 2,432

Hi All,

How can I disable Enum element through x++.

For example, SalesStatus base enum has four elements (Open order, Invoiced, Cancelled, Delivered).

I want to disable one of enum element when ever form opens.

Please let me how it can be done.

Thanks,

Raziq

    In my AX, these values are also Russia-specific items and don't use any CW configuration key.

    If it was as you said, it still could be done in many ways and I already mentioned some. For example, you could use a custom configuration key or a custom enum (without those two elements).

    Hi Martib,

    I would like to tell you about the problem we are facing.

    This above form has two fields highlighted can be disabled through catch weight configuration key shown below. This will disable those radio buttons but will effect other functionality as well which we don't want.

    So, I want to disable these two radio buttons through code.

    Is it feasible?

    Thanks,

    Raziq

    Your example is related to country-specific functionality. Namely these values are available only to Russian legal entities.

    You have two fundamental choices:

    • You'll merely change how the field is displayed in some forms.
    • Or you'll actually disable the enum element, which obviously have much bigger impact than just on some display. SalesStatus is a good example of an enum you shouldn't meddle with.
      You could set a disabled configuration key to the enum element, but you would have to review all business logic related to it. It may be difficult and risky. Creating a new enum and field may be actually a better approach.
