RE: How to disable form data source after submitting the workflow on custom form without hitting the refresh button ?

Hi Sylvester,

I'll provide you the sample code which you modify as per your need. On the form level, write a method called editvalues() where we pass the logic for disabling the edit on datasource based on the workflow state.

void editvalues()
{
;
if(Book.WorkflowState == WorkflowState::Draft
|| Book.WorkflowState == WorkflowState::Rejected
|| Book.WorkflowState == WorkflowState::ChangeRequested)
{
Book_DS.allowEdit(true);
}
else
{
Book_DS.allowEdit(false);
}
}

In the form datasource level call this method in the init & cursornotify methods.

public void init()
{
super();
element.editvalues();
}

public void cursorNotify(int _event)
{
super(_event);
element.editvalues();

}

If it was helpful, please mark it as verified.

Hi sylvesterD365,

You should call the editValues method from the primary data source active method. Please check the PurchTable data source active method in PurchTable form as an example.

Hi Sylvester,

Call the editvalues() method in the data source active method too.

public int active()

{

int ret;

ret = super();

element.editvalues();

return ret;

}

Could you share a screenshot of your form data sources and your code for this?

make sure you have added the below code after the if(dialog.parmIsClosedOK()) in the main() method of the submitmanager class

if(FormDataUtil::isFormDataSource(_args.record()))

{

FormDataUtil::getFormDataSource(_args.record()).research(true);

}

_args.caller().updateWorkflowControls();
