Hi,
I have a form in which i have work order lines. in each of these lines I have purchase requisition id attached. i need to open a purchase requisition of the selected work order line through menu item button of purchase requisition. the problem i am facing is that when i click the button is opens the details of last entered purchase requisition, what i need is that i need that specific record of selected purchase requisition id.
No. The MenuItemButton will not open two forms if you don't call super(), which calls the default functionality.
The bad thing about simple buttons is that they are not linked to AX security system. Menu item buttons are linked to privileges so you can control the security.
Simple buttons are visible to anyone.
Actually the difference is that we need to override the clicked() function of simple button and than assign function to it rather overriding the menuitem clicked() function because it opens two forms one for menuFunction.run(args) and one for default functionality.
That code should work exactly like my example - strange if it doesn't. But now I saw that in my code there is a typo, it calls the find method of PurchReqTable, but that method expects a RecId. You need to call findPurchReq method instead.
If possible, try to put that code in the clicked method of the menuItemButton like I suggested. It will work there as well. Simple buttons are visible to anyone, whereas menuItemButtons respect the security system (privileges).
i found the solution. Thank you all for support
make a simple button and override the click method
void clicked()
{
Args args = new Args();
MenuFunction menuFunction ;
PurchReqTable purchReqTableLocal;
super();
select purchReqTableLocal
where purchReqTableLocal.PurchReqId == WorkOrderLines.PurchReqId;
args.record(purchReqTableLocal);
menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuitemdisplaystr(PurchReqTableDetails), MenuItemType::Display);
menuFunction.run(args);
}
Well, then you need to do some changes on the form too.
You could try manually setting (in code) the requisition id as a range for the query of the form's data source, if args.caller() was your form (work orders).
I have done this but still the purchReqTable form is showing the last purchase requisition. Do i have to make any changes in that also?
Override the clicked method of the menu item button with something like this:

void clicked()
{
Args args = new Args();
MenuFunction menuFunction = this.menuFunction();
args.record(PurchReqTable::find(WorkOrderLine.PurchReqId)); // I don't know the actual name of the table or field, so update it here
args.caller(element);
menuFunction.run(args);
}
That could work as it is, or require some fine tuning, since the init method of the PurchReqTable is quite complex. I didn't test it. But you get the idea.
