How can we use List, Map or Container in D365 for the custom Values of LookUp.

I want to use the custom values for lookup, not want to make the table. How can I achieve this through Coding? I have tried the following code but it's quite old and not working in D365. Actually, there is no method such as SysLookup::lookupList().

public void lookup()
{
    Counter yearCount;
    List    valueList = new List(Types::String);

    for (yearCount = 0; yearCount < 5; yearCount++)
    {
        valueList.addEnd(strFmt("Year %1", year(SystemDateGet()) - yearCount));
    }

    SysLookup::lookupList(this, valueList, "List of years");
}

Hi Bilal,

Override your control's lookup().

Hi Bilal,

Are you looking for a non-database lookup?

You can check Global :: Picklist () if it's meet your needs.

A simple example:

Fullscreen
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Map lookupmap = new Map(Types::Integer, Types::String);
lookupmap.insert(1,"First");
lookupmap.insert(2,"Second");
lookupmap.insert(3,"Third");
Global::picklist(lookupmap);
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Map lookupmap = new Map(Types::Integer, Types::String); lookupmap.insert(1,"First"); lookupmap.insert(2,"Second"); lookupmap.insert(3,"Third"); Global::picklist(lookupmap);

Hi,

Check class SysPickList and especially how it's used in DirPartyLookupFormEventHandler_CopyCustVend.CopyCustFrom_OnLookup method.

Hi Bilal,

Have you considered creating a temporary table; then fill this table with the values dynamically and then use it for the lookup?
