Lookup on field in request page

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Morten Steengaard 555

Hi,

I'm new to NAV, and for the first time, I have made a request page for a new report in NAV 2009.

In the request page, the user can enter a filter on item numbers. The entered value is saved in a text variable, I use later on.

I would like to add a lookup arrow to the field, but nomatter what I do, there is no lookup arrow.

How do I make my text variable ("ItemFilter") lookup to Item."No."?

    You can set the TableRelation property of this field to the Item table or you can write a custom lookup logic in the OnLookup trigger of your field. Something like:

    ItemList.SETTABLEVIEW(Item);

    ItemList.LOOKUPMODE(TRUE);

    IF ItemList.RUNMODAL = ACTION::LookupOK THEN

    BEGIN

     ItemList.GETRECORD(Item);

     Text := Item."No.";

    END;

    where:

    Item: Record "Item";

    ItemList: Page "Item List";

    Hi Stefano,

    Thanks a lot for your code. I'll save that in my knowledgebase.

    It turned out that I didn't know the difference between Request Form and Request Page in NAV 2009. All my changes on the page didn't help because I used the form. Now everything works, just by setting some properties on the field in the form instead of on the field in the page.

    But I appreciate your time and work!

    Best regards, Morten
