Hi Team,

If anyone have come across this please suggest for the resolution.

Thanks in advance

I've published an example on my blog.

Here is the code:

using Microsoft.Dynamics.AX.Metadata.MetaModel; class MetadataDemo { public static void main(Args _args) { AxForm form = Microsoft.Dynamics.Ax.Xpp.MetadataSupport::GetForm(formStr(SysUserSetup)); new MetadataDemo().showControlNames(form.Design); } private void showControlNames(IFormControlCollection _control) { var controlEnumerator = _control.Controls.GetEnumerator(); while (controlEnumerator.MoveNext()) { AxFormControl control = controlEnumerator.Current; if (control is IFormControlCollection) { this.showControlNames(control as IFormControlCollection); // Recursion } else { info(control.Name); } } } }

What do you mean by values of controls? What's the value of a group control, for example?

Are you now talking about business data at runtime, instead of analyzing the structure of the form metadata?

Maybe you should start with an explanation of what business problem you're trying to solve.

Hi Martin,

I will explain the requirement in detail.

I need traverse into the each and every nodes of the form to get the control details through X++ code.

For example, if we take CustParameters form means,from the form I need to display the Tab Name, Control Name and Control Value in a word document.

Now I can able to fetch the Tab Name and Control Name from the code snippet you had provided.

I need to display the details in the below format.

Tab Name Control Name Control Value

General Minimum Reimbursement 10.00

Kindly assist me to reach the solution.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Alex Jones AX

Why would you ever do it? Why don't you simply look at table fields?

Again, I would be interested in what business problem you're trying to solve. You keep talking about the technical solution you've chosen, but maybe it's not the right solution of the business problem.

Hi Alex,

You may try out Task recorder feature. It will generate similar document for you.

Yes, you can. If you're talking about a running form, simply get a reference to a FormControl object and call its methods.

If you mean the metadata API, look at how I accessed control.Name property in my code above. You can use the same approach to get values of other properties.
