[AX 2012] Modify form field value in X++

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by vv1984 1,087

Hi, 

how do i modify the value of a form field in X++?

 

I  found SetValue() method but doesnt seem to work out. 

Is there a .value property which can be set in order to change the value of a field at runtime?

 

Thank you in advance 

regards

    Are you speaking about dialog controls, or form controls?

    Form controls. More exactly i'm trying to set a text field's value.

    Ok, the easiest way to do so is:

    1.- Set the Autodeclaration property of the control to Yes.

    2.- Now, to set the value in X++, put the name of the control, and the proper method (varies based on the basic data type of the control).

    Examples:

    StringEdit.text("Hello");

       RealEdit.realValue(4.5);

       IntEdit.value(5);

       ComboBox.selection(2);

    hey,

    try to save it direkt to the table.

    eg.

    inventTable.field =  value

    inventTable_ds.refresh()

    Can you be more specific? What do you want to do? What is the problem?

    In this case the usual way is to set form control values in the super() method of the form, after the super() sentence.

    Note that this shouldn't be appliable to controls related to datasource data.

    FormStringControl strResult;

    strResult = element.design().control(element.controlId("strResult"));

    strResult.text("this is what it should say");

    You can modify the value in the form control by using the .text() method. (The control have to be the AutoDeclaration property set to Yes).

    or you can try

    Table.field = XX;

    element.redraw();     //to refresh the form
