How does AX know to call the WBS form from the Projects List Page?

Posted on by _MGP 506

I'm interested to know how the ProjWorkBreakdownStructure form is called from ProjProjectsListPage?

I've examined the Design of ProjProjectsListPage:

ActionPane > ActionPaneTab:Plan > Buttongroup:ActivityGroup > Button:ProjWBSButton

But there is no code in the clicked() method and I cannot see which property of the button matches to the WBS form.

The button's AutoDeclaration is "No" so I think cannot be called in any form code anyway.

I'm only interested because I am examining data structures downstream of this and wanted to know how the args object passed in a certain HierarchyId initially.

Hope someone can help.

    OK - so just by chance I selected the root of the form and came across the ProjProjectListPageInteraction class which has a openProjectWBS() method that runs a MenuFunction object.

    That was not obvious!

    You can have only very little code on a ListPage, to ensure compatibility for deploying it to Enterprise Portal.

    For this reason, we use interaction classes hooked up against the form. If you check the properties of the ProjProjectListPage form, you can see which interaction class in manipulating the behavior. The path which you mentioned before, if you check the clicked method, you can see it is decorated as obsolete, so it is not in use in R3. The button before, Activities however does have the clicked method, which actually does make a static call to the interaction class for openProjectWBS indeed.

    Thanks Vilmos - so on the desktop AX Client which button should be visible? Button:Activities or Button:ProjWBSButton? Is the latter for EP? - EDIT - actually re-reading your response the ProjWBSButton is obsolete so it plays no role whatsoever in the form - there must be some good reason for leaving it in there :) . Thanks again.
