How to increase width of columns of custom lookup

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by @rp@n 56

Hi All,

I have done custom lookup in a form. But i wants to increase width lookup.

o1.jpg

I wrote below code in Form - DS -Line (field) - Lookup method

public void lookup(FormControl _formControl, str _filterStr)
{
//super(_formControl, _filterStr);
Query query = new Query();
QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDataSourcePurchTable,queryBuildDataSourcePurchLine;
QueryBuildRange queryBuildRange;
SysTableLookup sysTableLookup;

sysTableLookup = SysTableLookup::newParameters(tableNum(PurchLine),_formControl);

queryBuildDataSourcePurchLine = query.addDataSource(tableNum(PurchLine));

queryBuildRange = queryBuildDataSourcePurchLine.addRange(fieldNum(PurchLine, PurchId));
queryBuildRange.value(Test.PurchId);

sysTableLookup.addLookupField(fieldNum(PurchLine, LineNumber), true);
sysTableLookup.addLookupField(fieldNum(PurchLine, itemid));

sysTableLookup.parmQuery(query);
sysTableLookup.performFormLookup();
}

Please give me more shed on this.

Thanks!

    Hi

    There is no way to do this without modified actual system code.

    Drill down into the sysTableLookup class and see how lookups are being built. You'll see how the system takes the specified datasource and builds a grid out of it etc.

    If you want to make a more intelligent lookup, you could do it by modifying this system code.

    You'd have to be very careful though, because anything you modify there will affect every lookup in the whole system.

    But, that's the only way you can do it. There is no way to do it without modifying standard code.

    Hi @rp@n,

    You can define the layout of field controls in a custom lookup form.
    In addition, you can extend the lookup in SysTableLookup and SysTableLookupBase classes.
    And pass in the width parameter of the addLookupField method, and then use it in the buildFromGridDesign method to increase the width of that particular column.
