Posted on by reachnaidu 890

Hi,

      Is there a way we can use the similar kind of functionality that stack Panels have in visual studio .. I want to create a form with a simple filter (text box) and group of Buttons with images (loaded dynamically ) based on the filter data. The buttons should aligned horizontally and vertically. This form will just have these controls.. 

How to do this in Ax 2012 ..?

Thanks

    Hi Sree,

    Do you have a screenshot with an example how it should look like?

    AX does not support layering form controls above each other. The placeholders are the FormGroupControl, FormTabControl objects, where you could place additional form controls inside.

    Their positioning is determined by how you set up the margins, left and top alignments, their width, and how many columns have you set on the hierarchy parent (your group/tab). You can also define horizontal or vertical alignment in the properties as well if you want to.

    Take a look at AOT > Forms > tutorial_Form* forms, they have a lot of examples on how to align AX controls in various ways, even there is a custom design with an image of a cheque loaded.

    Documentation on the properties:

    I had to search to get one like the attachment. The form will have a filter text box and the buttons displayed like the image attached which are created dynamically based on the filter criteria

    Check the suggestion above, the tutorial forms even have an example for dynamically adding controls.
