Setting focus\highlighting particular grid row in dynamics AX

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Rahul Saxena 110

Hi,

I have a requirement where I have to set focus (highlight) on a particular sales order record in the form's grid (FormB).

FormB receives salesId (of the recod to be selected) as an args parameter (from FormA).

I have written below code in FormB's init() method, but can't get it to work. Could someone please suggest:

public void init()
{
    SalesTable sl;
    super();
    sl = SalesTable::find('SO-XXXXXX');
  
    salesTable_ds.research();
    salesTable_ds.findRecord(sl);

}

    findRecord() is one of the ways to go.

    You are using it a bit wrong however.

    You are trying to find a record in the datasource, which is right. But you are calling it too early, the data has not been retrieved yet (it happens in executeQuery() of the datasource)

    However, findRecord() is very slow, and Microsoft generally speaking considers its use a bad practice.

    Consider, instead, using the lookupRecord() method on the args class when calling FormB

    You can create an extra table buffer variable and fill it with the record you want to set focus on then run the following line of code: yourDataSource_ds.findRecord(yourNewTableBuffer); so if for example we are in SalesTable and yournewTableBuffer has the record with sales id: so_01122 then the grid focus will go on that record.
