using controlMethodOverload() to overload formRun.closed()

Hi there

I try to capture a close command from a form outside the form itself. So I created a class and put code like this:

class foo

{

FormRun fr;

void bindForm(FormRun _formRun)

{

fr = formRun;

formRun.controlMethodOverload(true);

formRun.controlMethodOverloadObject(this);

}

void formRun_close()

{

/* ...

do some extra code

fr.close();

}

However, the formRun_close method is never called, how do I have to name the method correctly?

formRun_close? (obviously not ...)

form_close?

this_close?

???_close?

Thank you for your Ideas

Normally the name of the object gets used here. Does the formRun have a name? Try to put that to infolog and then use it [Name]_close

Well, in my test case, the formRun.name() is "Form1" but with Form1_close this works neither ... :(

Other Ideas?

I wouldn't be surprised if it's not possible - form is not a form control, after all.
If you can change the form, just create a callback method in your class, pass the instance to the form and invoke the callback in close(). You'll get normal object-oriented code which doesn't depend on any special naming or such things.

Hmmm, I think control method overload only work for control methods, not the form itself. At least I've never tried it, but it would open a lot of interesting opportunities if that actually worked.

Just to extend my answer - if you're in AX2012, you could also expose an event in SysSetupFormRun and simply subscribe to it in your class.

Thank you for your answers and Tipps. Unfortunately with this issue I'm working in AX 2009 ...

But it really seems, that control overload method only overloads control's events (as the name suggests) and not the formRun element itself ...
