Add real field control dynamically in Form

Hello!!

I have a requirement were I have to add multiple budget year (depending budget years specified on another form) and the respective budget values dynamically in a new custom form. When I try adding it using below code I get the control names on the form but respective budget value is missing. When I debug the code budget value is correctly inserted in the control but on the front end the values are not displayed.

public void run()
{
FormBuildDesign formBuildDesign = form.design();
FormBuildGroupControl formBuildGroupControl;
FormRealControl c;

while (i <= countBudgetLine)
{
c = budgetyeargroup.addControl(FormControlType::Real, 'YearName' + int2str(i));
c.label(conPeek(yearName,i));
c.realvalue(conPeek(budgetAmountCon,i));

c.registerOverrideMethod(methodStr(FormRealControl, validate), 'runTimeControlValidate');

formBuildGroupControl = formBuildDesign.control(budgetyeargroup.id());
i++;
}

super();
}

Please suggest.

It's great to hear that you're now able to successfully add real controls and set their values.

You never mentioned a grid before and your approach indeed can't work a grid. Grid requires columns bound to field or method.Either don't use a grid, or forget all your current code, because you'll need to design a completely different solution.

@Martin:

My requirement is to add multiple controls in grid but here it gets displayed one after another

when I add the controls directly to design controls

c1= element.design().addControl(FormControlType::Real, 'YearName' + int2str(i));

c1.label(conPeek(yearName,i));
c1.realValue(conPeek(budgetAmountCon,i));

I want controls to be printed in grid format which I am able to achieve by adding controls in groupControl but here values are not getting displayed.

c = budgetyeargroup.addControl(FormControlType::Real, 'YearName' + int2str(i+6));
c.label(conPeek(yearName,i));
c.realValue(conPeek(budgetAmountCon,i));

@Bharani: the containers have values and even after removing the validation values are not displayed on form.

Akshata confirmed that this code can be used to test the problem:
public void run() { FormRealControl c = budgetYearGroup.addControl(FormControlType::Real, 'YearName1'); c.label("TEST"); c.realValue(999); super(); }

There is container involved. That was in the original code, before we simplified it to be able to focus on the actual problem and without being distracted by unrelated code.

If Akshata said that the simple code worked and the actual didn't, then we'd know that the control adding and value setting isn't the actual problem and we would check things like the container (despite Akshata's claim that "the code budget value is correctly inserted").

It depends based on elements found in the container.

c.realvalue(conPeek(budgetAmountCon,i));

At this point, do you have values in the container "budgetAmountCon" specified? Firstly, try directly assigning some value like below. Also, you can remove validation part for now.

c.realvalue(123);

If this is working then check about container and then validation.

It seems to me that that a half of your code isn't needed to demonstrate the problem. I'm would reduce it to this:
public void run() { FormRealControl c = budgetYearGroup.addControl(FormControlType::Real, 'YearName1'); c.label("TEST"); c.realValue(999); super(); }

Do you agree?

Which version of AX are you using?
