Update the value of contract field

(3) ShareShare

Posted on by Johnny 6,424
Hello,
On one of the contract dialogs, we need to add new field. let's call it "DescriptionField".
On the dialog, we also have a lookup field where we select the mode of delivery.
What I want to achieve is that, by selecting (or modifying) the mode of delivery value, new DescriptionField must be automatically updated with the value... eg. "ModeOfDelivery + Date".
How can I achieve it and where should my code be placed?
We have Controller, Contract, Service and UIBUilder classes

    Update the value of contract field
    Hi,

    Does this ISV class already has code for the modified method, if yes then you can add code to it directly?
    if not, then as a workaround, maybe create a new variable and try and define in the postBuild method and use it instead in the postRun method?
    but this might cause issues in the future, if the ISV add code to the modified method maybe -- so maybe it's better to contact them
      
    dialogField dialogDeliveryMode;

public void postBuild()
{
    dialogDeliveryMode = this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(), methodstr(YourContractClass,parmDeliverMode));
}

    can u share the ISV class with us?

    Hi Layan,
    thanks for the solution.
    It works if I put the code in the same class where "Payment mode" dialogField is defined. But I have to use the extension of the UIBuilder class.
    In original UIBuilder class paym mode is defined as private "private DialogField dialogPaymMode;".
    How could I reach this private veriable? Or what would be a workoaround for extension?
    Thanks

    Hi Johnny,


    So you want whenever you modify the mode of delivery field, then the description needs to be populated with sth.

    So you need to registerOverride the modified method of the Mode of delivery field in the postRun method in the ui builder class, and inside the method you can set the values.
     
    So maybe sth like that:
     
      
    public void postRun()
{
    super();

    // Override modified method
    dialogDeliveryMode.registerOverrideMethod(methodStr(FormStringControl, modified),methodStr(UIBuilderClass, deliveryMode_modified),this);
}

private boolean deliveryMode_modified(FormStringControl _control)
{
    this.modifyDialogFields();

    return _control.modified();
}

private void modifyDialogFields()
{
    dialogDescription.value(//put the value u want here);
}
     

    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan
