Hello all,

Is there a way to deal with element.args().parmObject(); like we do with element.args().record(); ?

I'm explaining myself :

I'm looking for some easy way to work with parmObject() between 2 forms, because parmObject() return an Object which i dont really find a way to process some query on it.

element.args().record() is more useful from my knowledge to filter records and work with recId for example.

So i m wondering how to deal with args.parmObject as easily as args.record.

Thank you for your answer.

Hi Mack,

You can use parmObject pretty effectively as well. You can pass an instance of a class using the parmObject and can modify your query based on values stored in this class instance. For an example, you can check AccountingSourceExplorer form.

What values are you trying to pass between two forms? Could you please explain your requirements?

It should be exactly as easy to work with both.

You can use parmObject() to pass objects, and args.record() to pass records.

Hi Gunjan Bhattachayya ,

I'm still learning and training on D365.

I'm looking for many ways to pass args from form A to form B.

In that way i understood the way to do it with args.record .... But i'm still blocked with args.parmObject.

My example is this one :

(I already find the way to do it with the best practice i learned with menu item button display and so on)

Now I created a x++ button in form A to open form B.

I used an event handler on clicked button to process opening and getting values

On form A i'm selecting many rows and got it with multipleselecthelper

I stored the selection in type Set variable

Then i transfer that values in args.parmObject(setSelection)

I don't if there is a best way but i'm getting the values i selected with that way.

Then i'm getting back this values in init method on form B

There i'm need to find a way to work with parmObject i got and make some query to filter data

I hope that's explanation is clear.

Regards.

The fact is more how to deal with on the opened form to use some query and filter data on it ...

In your other discussion (community.dynamics.com/.../how-to-convert-from-set-type-to-int) you mentioned that you pass a Set via the args.

And based on that discussion I think you already know how to read the set from args.parmObject(). Is this correct?

If it's correct, then I assume your further questions are no longer related to parmObject but something else. Perhaps you want to know how to filter the form data via code? Or something else?

Hi nmaenpaa ,

You re right i tried the way you teach me but didnt understood how to perform query on it.

I tried many ways to do that query but stil dont find how to do it ... for now i'm getting only the last value from the loop you teached me.

So i was wondering is there another way to do it from that point or from the begining of my process to be more efficient.

Thanksfully

If you want to add query ranges based on the values in the set, you just need to iterate the set and add a new range for every value in that set.

That's a general answer to a general question, without knowing any details.

By the way, could you please update the title of your question to match your actual question? Thanks!

Thank you for answering and sorry to bother you again.

Like i said, i'm still learning about D365.

And the way you showed me before get the values that i want (recId converted from parmObject)

But there i need to understand how to filter

i was trying a select statement like :

while (setEnum.moveNext()) { selection = setEnum.current(); setOfRecIds.add(selection.RecId); select buffer1 where buffer1.field1 == selection(from ParmObject).field1 && buffer1.field2 == selection(from ParmObject).field2; }

but i didnt reach what i wanna get on form B

I tried some query too ... but i got in result only the last value form the loop.

If you want to add a filter to a form data source, look again at my answer in your thread How to deal with multiselecthelper on clicked event ?.

I followed your steps and reach the result i want when i was using args.record and now i understand that way

Then i'm trying to do the same and use this time args.parmObject.
