Hi,

I have another issue with reference to my last Question "How to highlight selected record in Child form in D365 fo"

1. I have created 2 custom form FormA and FormB .

2. FormB is child form of FormA and its calling by passing args in clicked method of FormB button on Action pane.

3. After opening FormB and coming back to FormA, the cursor should highlight the previously selected record in FormA e.g in this case "3" should be highlighted but now first record is highlighting.

How can I achieve this functionality??

For reference, here is a link to the related thread: How to highlight selected record in Child form in D365 fo.

Because the question is about D365FO, I'm also going to move it to the Dynamics 365 Finance forum. Please make sure you use the right forum next time; then you also won't need attaching "D365 FO" to thread titles, because it'll be obvious from the forum.

How do you "come back to FormA"? Does it mean simply closing FormB? If so, what you want is the standard behavior that you can see across D365FO and it's broken by something in your forms. Don't you call research() or executeQuery() on the data source of FormA?

By the way, let me again recommend using a menu item instead of writing code on clicked(). Not only it's unnecessary, but it's also bad for security setup (security is set primarily for menu items) and consistency (the button would take the label and other properties from the menu item).

Yes, by simplying closing FormB. Yes, I have used closed() of FormB to update some fields of FormA which depends upon some fields in FormB.

But its updating the value in FormA but not retaining the cursor in FormA

public boolean closed() { boolean ret; ret = super(); if (ret) { tableA.executeQuery();//TtableA is datasource of FormA tableA.refresh(); } return ret; }

The cursor / selected record is not changed unless you have written some code that does it. For example you might have written some code that refreshes form A data source, but this is just a guess. Please share all your custom code on this area. Thanks!

The statement - "tableA.executeQuery();" will always take the focus to the fist record on for A.

Can you try doing tableA.reread() instead?

You should first call table1_ds.refresh, then table1_ds.research(true).

But there's a property on the menu item button (which you should use to open form B) to refresh data source automatically, not needing to develop any code.

Yes Thank you Nikolaos Mäenpää .. It works for me.. Sharing my code so that it may help others also..

public boolean closed() { boolean ret; ret = super(); if (ret) { tableA.refresh();//tableA is datasource of FormA tableA.research(true); } return ret; }

As suggested by Gunjan Bhattacharyya , reRead() also works but I used research(true) to update all other records except current one in my FormA.
