ENUMs lookup.

Posted on by Community Member

Hello,

1. I would like to add a lookup that shows a list of all the enum types.

2. I would like to add a enum, but show not only the enum values (i.e if the enum has 'A', 'B', 'C' values, want for to show 'A', 'B', without the 'C' when doing lookup on that enum).

Thanks :)

Hi Eitan,

have you tried to create a temp table and fill it with your enum values (filtering them if needed) on the lookup method of your form control?

Hope this helps.

You didn't understand me well - sorry.

1. All the list of enums is like you standing on menuitem object, and see the list of all enum, when standing on enumtypeParameter property.

2. I don't want using temporary table - just using a sysdictclass or something similar.

Thanks :)

For your question number 1 here is the solution:

public void lookup()

{

Query sysModelElementQuery;

QueryBuildDataSource sysModelElementDataSource;

QueryBuildRange sysModelElementRange;

// create lookup table for SysModelElements and use the Name field

SysTableLookup lookupTable = SysTableLookup::newParameters(tableNum(SysModelElement), this);

lookupTable.addLookupfield(fieldNum(SysModelElement, Name));

lookupTable.setLabel("Base Enum Name");

　

// create a query used to filtering only the Base enumerations.

sysModelElementQuery = new Query();

sysModelElementDataSource = sysModelElementQuery.addDataSource(tableNum(SysModelElement));

sysModelElementRange = sysModelElementDataSource.addRange(fieldNum(SysModelElement, ElementType));

sysModelElementRange.status(RangeStatus::Hidden);

sysModelElementRange.value(SysQuery::value(enum2int(UtilElementType::Enum)));

lookupTable.parmQuery(sysModelElementQuery);

lookupTable.performFormLookup();

super();

}

Hi Eitan,

you will definitely use the Sysdictclass object, but you'll fill the temporary table in order to give the lookup field a datasource.

Or

You can double check how the form DMFTargetXMLToEntityMap and look for the stringEdit: TargetXMLToEntityMapGroup_EntityField (method lookup). It's using a lookup method on UtilElements.

Hope this helps.

Sohaib - Thank you.

Is there any similar solution for extended datatype (only string based).

Thanks :)

Eitan Mizrahi,

Can you please explain little more ?

Additionally, you may have a look at following standard examples from AX AOT

You can use the method

ControlName_LineType.delete((enum2Str(ABCEnumType::C)));

where ControlName_LineType is the Formcomboboxcontrol name where we find the Enum variable.
