Enable/Disable Menu Item Button on a Form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Momochi 981

Hello awesome community!

I'm still very new to D365, and I'm working on my first report so please help the newbie! public static void SalesTable_Pre_run(XppPrePostArgs args) { FormRun sender = args.getThis(); FormDataSource fds = sender.dataSource(1); SalesTable _salesTable = fds.cursor(); if(_salesTable.DocumentStatus == DocumentStatus::Confirmation) sender.control(sender.controlId(formControlStr(SalesTable, MyMenuItemName))).enabled(true); else sender.control(sender.controlId(formControlStr(SalesTable, MyMenuItemName))).enabled(false); } }

After I did the build, when I go to the All Sales Order screen and choose one of the sales order, the screen freezes and times out.

Please can anyone tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

    Thank you Mr. Nikolaos for your help!

    I did as what you pointed out to me is to go with the OnActivated Method of the data source on the form.

    and here is the new code that worked for me:

    class SalesTableEventHandler
{
    [FormDataSourceEventHandler(formDataSourceStr(SalesTable, SalesTable), FormDataSourceEventType::Activated)]
    public static void SalesTable_OnActivated(FormDataSource sender, FormDataSourceEventArgs e)
    {
        SalesTable          _salesTable     = sender.cursor(); //selected record
        FormDataSource      salesTable_ds   = sender.formRun().dataSource("SalesTable"); //DataSource
        FormRun             element       = sender.formRun(); //form element
        FormControl         myNewButton   = element.design(0).controlName("MyMenuItemName");
        //button on the form
        if(_salesTable.DocumentStatus == DocumentStatus::Confirmation)
            myNewButton.enabled(true);
        else
            myNewButton.enabled(false);
    }

}

    Thanks again

    I don't think that your code (that you shared with us) causes the freezing. You can debug it and see for yourself.

    Anyway if you want to enable/disable controls based on some data in the table, you need to hook in the active method of the data source. Run method of the form is executed when the form is opened. But you want your code to run every time when a new order is selected.
