Hi Guys,

In forms design next to data-source we have /Parts/ where we will add the form display menu item so that we will get that form in related information pane.

My question here is can I able to hide it based on the conditions using code?

Hi Community user,

Can you tell what exact conditions you have in mind? If it is related to users, then you can use the security framework by not granting access to the form part. In case the condition is related to country specific features, you can use the country/region property on the menu item.

I haven't checked myself if you can hide the form parts using x++. At least, you can hide form controls, in coding by setting the visible property to no.

Hi Community User,

This is how you can try to hide FormPart by code, try it please and let's us know if it works. (not sure what your conditions are but you can add them in the code below)

[ExtensionOf(formStr(Formxx))] final class Formxx_Extension { public void init() { next init(); partList = new PartList(this); for (int i = 1; i <= partList.partCount(); i++) { FormPartReferenceControl part = partList.getPartControlById(i); if (part.formName() == formStr(Formyy))// this is the name of the form that is linked to displayMenuItem and not the formPart name { part.visible(false); } } } }

Thanks,
Layan Jweihan

Hi,

As Andre said, you can start by thinking about hiding menu items through settings, not code, because code involves custom development. You can do this by setting security roles, or by applying the country/region context. This is the official documentation on applying the country/region context: Apply country/region context - Finance & Operations | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn. In this article you can find information how you should use country context property and what application objects control user interface elements.

Best regards,

Kevin

@Layan Jwei how to put this code into Dynamics? What application is needed? Can I do it by VisualStudio?

What if a Microsoft partner did customizations that I don't have access to? Can it be a blocker?

Thank you!

Hi Anna,

Yes you need Visual studio to add this customization.

If it's a standard form, then you need to create a class and add the code i showed you.

If the form relates to a Microsoft partner, does your model references it? then you can create also the class and add the code i showed you. If not, then you will need to ask them to add the code for you. Or you can create a new model that references them and add the code yourself.

it depends on your situation.

if the code works, then please verify the answers that helped you.

Thanks,
Layan Jweihan
