Hi All,

I want to enable a button on the form when all data is loaded to make sure all records are included. How can I achieve that?
I am working on Standard form and the button is created through extension on Form.

Regards,

Waed

Thats the question i am asking how you are confirming that all records are loaded?

By default all the records will be loaded in the form unless there is any range filters.

Thanks,

Hi Mohit Rampal,

Currently I can click button and the code will only apply to the loaded records.

Hi Girish S.,

What about FormDatasource.allRowsLoaded() it check if the whole records are loaded or not. Can I use it by enable button on activated event handler of form.

Hi waed,

System doenst know the whole record is loaded.

You need to find out whether full record is loaded based on some condition and enable or disable the button on the active method of the datasource.

Hi Waed, Are you able to click button while data is loading on form? I think system will go in non responsive mode if we do that. If not able to click while data loading then you can enable it anywhere as per requirement, like on active method of datasource if you want to enable or disable button based on certain values in a record.
