    Hi Dinesh,

    it seems you are changing the boolean flag "toField", instead of disabling the dialogField "toField"

    So maybe try something like this,  and let us know (I'm not sure if the whole code is correct)
        public void  modified(FormComboBoxControl   _selection)
    {
        DTPackingSlipNotInvoicedBatchContract  cTPackingSlipNotInvoicedBatchContract = this.dataContractObject() as DTPackingSlipNotInvoicedBatchContract;

        if(_selection.selection() == DTPackingSlipNotInvoiceType::SalesPerson)
        {
            toField.enabled(false);
        }
    }

    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan

    Hi Dinesh,
     
    Did you debug and see if the code reaches at least the modified method and maybe enters the if condition or not? Please check and get back to us.

    Hi Dinesh,
     
    If no method is being hit with debugger in UI builder (postBuild..etc)
    Then maybe it's because you didn't define the UI builder as an attribute in the contract class.
     
      [DataContractAttribute,
       SysOperationContractProcessingAttribute
    (classStr(UIBuilderClassName))
    ]
    public class contractClassName
    {}
     
    Please try this and debug again and see what happens.
     
    Thanks,

    Hi Dinesh,
     
    Does the postBuild gets called when dialog first opens? If yes maybe try to repeat the logic again in this method as well

    Maybe sth like this: (I'm not 100% sure of the syntax)

        public void postBuild()
    {
        super();
    
        // get references to dialog controls after creation
        typeField = this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(),
                                    methodStr(DTPackingSlipNotInvoicedBatchContract, parmtype));
        toField = this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(),
                                    methodStr(DTPackingSlipNotInvoicedBatchContract, parmTo));
            if(typeField.Value() ==  DTPackingSlipNotInvoiceType::SalesPerson)
            {
               toField.enabled(false);
            }    
    }

     
    Thanks,

    Hi Dinesh,

    If the last reply related to making the field disabled when you first open the dialog helped you, then please mark it as verified and post a new question for your new problem. So that we keep each question related to a certain topic.

    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan
