Posted on by Sangram Shinde 2,114

Hi techies,

We have developed a completely new form, we need to enable and disable one text box on form based on the selection of checkbox present on same form. How can we do this?

We have developed this in visual studio (D365).

Any response is appreciated!

Thanks!

    I am not sure about D365 fF&O but in AX2012, I can achieve this by writing logic in active() method of datasource . Try to put your logic in active() method of form datasource or wait if someone expert in D365fF&O suggest you solution.  

    Try like this:

     if(tableName.Checkbox == NoYes::Yes)

    {

      tablename_ds.object(fieldNum(tablename,textbox)).enabled(True); // whatever enable or disable you want.

    }

    else

    {

    tablename_ds.object(fieldNum(tablename,textbox)).enabled(false);

    }

    All the Best!!

    Hi Visvash,

    Thanks for your valuable reply. We did same actually as you answered by adding the checkbox in table instead of form control.

    This is working as expected and your code is absolutely correct as well!

    But what if we need to add a code for a form control(i.e.checkbox) instead of the table checkbox field.

    Thanks again!

    that can be doable as well. Declare the AutoDeclartion property of FormControl to "Yes" and get it in active method of formdatasource and put the logic there

    Thanks Visvash for reply. Can you please bit elaborate more about how to access this form control in active method of formdatasource. We tried but unable to access it. Appreciate your help.

    go to FormControl properties (by right click on FormControl > properties) and select AutoDeclaration to "Yes". It will allow you to access this formcontrol on formdatasource methods and form methods as well.

    I want to hide/visible some specific field in grid when ever the checkbox value is selected. How would I do that?

    should I write a modified method on checkbox control or gird?

    if(checkbox.value(noyes::yes)

    {

    gridField.visible(true)

    }

    else

    gridField.visible(true)?

    Kindly suggest
