Filter DialogField lookup values

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ihab Barghout 605

Hi,

I'm trying to add a filter to the lookup of a dialog field (ItemId) based on a specific criteria.

While searching I found something talking about overriding the lookupReference of the dialogfield control which I couldn't find how to do it.

what I did is the following:

1. Created a method for filtering the lookup

private Common lookupSupplyItem(FormReferenceControl _ctrl)
{
SysReferenceTableLookup tableLookup = SysReferenceTableLookup::newParameters(tableNum(InventTable), _ctrl);
Query query = new Query();
QueryBuildDataSource qbds = query.addDataSource(tableNum(InventTable));
qbds.addRange(fieldNum(InventTable,ItemId)).value("hrco2.4*");

tableLookup.parmQuery(query);
tableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(InventTable, ItemId));

return tableLookup.performFormLookup();
}

2. Tried to override the lookup method

dialog dialog;

dialogField dialogField;

dialog = new Dialog("Select Supply Item");
dialogField = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(ItemId));

dialogField.registerOverrideMethod(methodstr(FormReferenceControl, lookupReference),

methodstr(mxsCuttingWorkbench_Extension, lookupSupplyItem),
this);


Is there anything I'm missing? as the system is not doing the override and lookup is showing all records and lookup fields (tried to debug the filter method but the system didn't reach it)

Thank you for your support

    Hi Ihab,

    Please check if the following code satisfies your scenerio, add this code to you lookup method:

    Query                   query = new Query();
            QueryBuildDataSource    queryBuildDataSource;
            boolean                 searchCriteria = true;
    
            SysTableLookup  sysTableLookup = sysTableLookup::newParameters(tableNum(InventTable), this);

    
            queryBuildDataSource = query.addDataSource(tableNum(InventTable));

            if (searchCriteria) //Your search criteria goes here
            {
                queryBuildDataSource.addRange(fieldNum(InventTable, ItemId)).value("1000");
            }

            sysTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(InventTable, ItemId), true);
    
            sysTableLookup.addLookupMethod(identifierStr(itemName));
    
            sysTableLookup.parmQuery(query);
    
            sysTableLookup.performFormLookup();
    Hope that helps!
