SysOperationServiceController dialog caption

Posted on by Community Member

Hi all,

I've case whereby created a batch using SysOperationFramework, and typically we created Controller class with New method, something like this :`

public void new()

{

super();

this.parmClassName(classStr(MyServiceClass));

this.parmMethodName(methodStr(MyServiceClass, processOperation));

this.parmDialogCaption("My dialog batch job");

}

That word "My dialog batch job" is actually new, which is the one I want to show instead the old caption. The problem is I don't why it keep showing my old caption instead this one.

So regarding the issue, I've seen some of topic described here long time ago ->

https://community.dynamics.com/ax/f/microsoft-dynamics-ax-forum/144652/sysoperationservicecontroller-dialog-caption

Got one tips to move it to method Main() instead which I did, but the problem persist. Any idea how to solve this ?

Thanks in advance,

I have the same question (0)

You can try to clear your usage data.

Do you want to change the caption permanently, or only for some specific use cases?

Hi WWwong,

Also, double-check that caption method is not overrided directly on your contoller class.

Override the parmDialogCaption method.

What I am quite sure is happening - You set the dialog caption variable, but the variable is set again (probably more than once) by the base classes. This can be the old value (as mentioned - usage data) or the label on the menu item.

In my opinion it is also better practice to rather override the method.

Hi Wwong,

What's the code in your main() method?

You just should call

"controller.parmDialogCaption("Change default caption");"

after setting your class and method.

public static void main(Args _args) { DataController dataController; dataController = new DataController(className,methodName,executionMode); dataController.parmDialogCaption("Your Caption"); dataController.startOperation(); }

Hi all,

I'm not sure any class/method override it. It just first in New method, now I moved it in Main method. And also I didn't use variable, it is fixed / permanent string.

Here it is the only code :

public void new()

{

super();

this.parmClassName(classStr(MyServiceClass));

this.parmMethodName(methodStr(MyServiceClass, processOperation));

//this.parmDialogCaption("My dialog caption");

}

public ClassDescription caption()

{

return "My class caption";

}

public static void main(Args args)

{

       MyControllerClass        MyControllerClass ;

       MyControllerClass = new MyControllerClass ();

       MyControllerClass .parmDialogCaption("My Dialog caption");

       MyControllerClass .startOperation();

}

The red font is obviously the old statement which I remark it already.

One thing which different with Wu's Main class is I didn't put any parameter in the controller class declaration.

In its Service class, I go straight to ProcessOperation method and in UIBuilder class I only "play" for override Dialog Field, not the caption.

Btw, how to clear usage data now days? and I can still choose what I want to clear, right?

Thanks,

Usage data can be cleared on the user Settings form, which can be opened from the setup/cogwheel icon in the top right corner. You can choose which usage data you want to erase, just like in AX.

Hi WWwong,

Try to remove method caption from your implementation, most likely it hides parent implementation which using the value from parmDialogCaption.

public ClassDescription caption() { return "My class caption"; }

You have overridden the wrong method. Override parmDialogCaption, not classDescription.

And then I don't think you need a controller in the first place. Create an action menu item and fill in the properties. You need the following:

Label & help

Class name is SysOperationServiceController

Parameters should be YourOperationClass.yourEntryMethod

Enum Type parameter should be SysOperationExecutionMode

Enum parameter should be the SysOperationExecutionMode you desire
