Hello to everyone

I have some issues with form and form control methods in Finance and Operations (Dynamics 365).

The first one is that when I open the form(DocuView is the form with the attachments) the customer asked to automatically create a new record and the cursor to go directly to Notes field to write without pressing any clicks or buttons.

So I created an extension, I create the record, the record also is on edit mode but the cursor doen't move from the fisrt (DocuRef_Name) field.

I tried many things like:

in init method after next call:

1) myField.setFocus();
2) this.design().controlname(formControlStr(DocuView, MyField)).setFocus();
3) DocuRef_Name.skip(); (just to skip the field) It woks but the cursor doesnt move to the field that I want. It just dissapear (like pressing tab key)

in firstFIeld method also I tried :

1) myField.setFocus();
2) element.design().controlname(formControlStr(DocuView, MyField)).setFocus();

in OnActivated event handler also the same
in Active method of the Datasource also.

NOTHING IS HAPPENING !!

The second issue is the toolTip and mouseEnter methods in a control

I am trying, when you hover your mouse over a form contol which is a checkbox display method
to have a text as the customer asked.

both of them(toolTip and mouseEnter) never start(I tried on the debuger)

If you know anything for each of these issues I will appriciate them a lot.

Thank you an dbest regards.

Yes. It works for other fields.

But for the HTML editor it doesnt work.

Are you saying that it works for you for other fields (therefore it's now clear where to do it) and your problem is specific to the HTML editor control?

Martin thank you for your response.

I had tried in the init and the active of the datasource for that reason (becasue you said that is too early)

Now I tried exactly what you mentioned, but for my field. (html editor field)

The behavior is the same as I mentioned in the post. It is just get the cursor from the _name field and it is not blinking in the html editor(Its is dissapearing. Like tab key ).

So you cannot write directly when the form opens.

You have to click on the field first.

Let's focus on the first question for now. (I would be better if you have a separate thread for each question.)

Initialization is too early - do it in run() after next.

I tested with this code:

public void run() { next run(); IsValueAttached.setFocus(); }
