Disabling display field depending on other field value in a form.

Posted on by Community Member

Hi there.

I am kinda new to Dynamics AX, so i would appreciate a little help.

I have table with journals and another table with its lines.

So my problem is that - i have a form with a grid for lines(showings 7-8 fields). One field, let's call it FieldA, is being enabled/disabled(i used active method of lines DS) depending on journal type. And there is another column in grid, that uses display method and returns value depending on FieldA.

So - is it possible to hide this display method column if FieldA has no value in it? I know it would be possible if this column would be a field. Or should i create field, fill it with InitValue and then disable it thru active() method?

Thanks.

Hi Kaspars Jankausks,

If you will go to a form design and find control (lets say "FormControl1") on a grid that hosts display method, you can set "AutoDeclaration" property to true. After that you can hide it using next code:

FormControl1.visible(false);

Hi, ievgen Miroshnikov.

Thank you for replying.

After setting AutoDeclaration property to true, where should i set visibility to false?

Hi Kaspars Jankausks,

You can write the logic for hiding the control in datasource active() itself where you are handling enabling\disabling of FieldA.

Check in if() condition if FieldA is disabled, then make :

FormControl1.visible(false);

You can do it on active method so it will be hidden based on you current line and on modify of FieldA so it would be hidden if user will remove a value from FieldA.

However, please note that some lines could have value in FieldA and some not so hiding a column does not make a lot of sense.

Thank you both for answers. Modified active() method on DS. Worked just fine. Thanks!
