Switching a page to non-editable

I would like to 1. update some fields on a page 2. switch the page to non-editable at the same time by one action.

If I proceed like:

Step 1 update fields and change EDITABLE property within one action

Step 2 close the page

Step 3 reopen the page

the page becomes non-editable. But I would like to make the page non-editable already at the end of Step 1 like pressing the pencil (or crayon) icon.

Is it possible?

Please advise.

Thank you.

RE: Switching a page to non-editable

Thank you very much, Lars.

The prototype is amazing and I did not know that we can change the property like that.

However, I should have told that I am trying to do this with a Page Extension. I have learned that the Editable property of the entire Page cannot be changed in an Extension.

So I could only close the Page in question and reopen it to reflect the change to the Editable property?

RE: Switching a page to non-editable

Hello,

Below is a prototype only of a page with two fields. If you enter something beginning with 'E' (case sensitive) in field 2, then the two fields go Uneditable. You can make them re-editable again from the Actions. It's setting editable on a group scope as opposed to the whole page. I hope that gives some ideas?

page 50107 TestEditable

{

    PageType = Card;

    ApplicationArea = All;

    UsageCategory = Administration;

    layout

    {

        area(Content)

        {

            group(GroupName)

            {

                Visible = IsVisible;

                Editable = IsEditable;

                field(F1; F1) { ApplicationArea = All; }

                field(F2; F2)

                {

                    ApplicationArea = all;

                    trigger OnValidate()

                    var

                        myInt: Integer;

                    begin

                        if CopyStr(F2, 1) = 'E' then

                            IsEditable := false;

                    end;

                }

            }

        }

    }

    actions

    {

        area(Processing)

        {

            action(ActionName)

            {

                ApplicationArea = All;

                Caption = 'Make Editable';

                trigger OnAction()

                begin

                    IsEditable := true;

                end;

            }

        }

    }

    trigger OnOpenPage()

    var

        myInt: Integer;

    begin

        IsVisible := true;

        IsEditable := true;

    end;

    var

        myInt: Integer;

        F1: Text;

        F2: Text;

        IsVisible: Boolean;

        IsEditable: Boolean;

}

RE: Switching a page to non-editable

Thank you, Josh.

Yes, I tried and currpage.update() only becomes effective when the page is reopened.

I wonder if there is any other way.

RE: Switching a page to non-editable

Do you use currpage.update();
