VSCODE and Bound Action

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 154
I want to create a Bound Action but having a hard time understanding exactly how to do it.
 
I think you need to create one in vscode first then publish to BC. 
 
What I don't understand is do I then need to create a launch.json and if so
what should the various fields look like:
 
example: would it look like a table that you would launch?
"startupObjectId": 22,           "startupObjectType": "Page",
"startupObjectId": 22,
"startupObjectType": "Page",
 
thanks for any help on this,
Keith

    Hi Keith,
     
    Are you referring to Bound actions associated with API Pages?
     
    if yes then you will have to create the API Page and create Bound action attached to it.
     
    You can refer standard API Pages to see how microsoft is creating Bound Actions.
     
    Let me know if you have any questions.
     
     
    Regards,

    Hi, It seems that you are a beginner in AL Language. All AL projects have a launch.json file, which is the setting to connect to the development environment.     
          
      
     
    This has nothing to do with the content you develop. Otherwise, hopefully the information below can give you some hints.

    To be honest, if you do not even know how to create a new project in VSCode, AL, I suggest you first take some time to learn the basics:
     
    What you want is a more advanced development task, so I suggest involving an experienced developer.
