Posted on by Sachin Mittal

I have created a dialog using lookup button table name (Calendar ), and two from date and to date contracts , as soon as i select the value in calendar lookup table , from date and to date values should be updated from as per field selected in calendar table i.e month start date in fromdate and month end date in todate

/// <summary>
/// ClaimManagementUIBuilder - UI Builder Class
/// </summary>
[DataContractAttribute,SysOperationContractProcessingAttribute(classStr(ClaimManagementContract),
SysOperationDataContractProcessingMode::CreateUIBuilderForRootContractOnly)]
class ClaimManagementUIBuilder extends SysOperationAutomaticUIBuilder
{
    DialogField     dialogPeriod,dialogFromDate,dialogToDate;

    
    /// <summary>
    /// lookup of customer account
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name = "_control">FormStringControl</param>
    public void lookupCokePeriod(FormStringControl _control)
    {
        SysTableLookup                      sysTableLookup;
       
        sysTableLookup = SysTableLookup::newParameters(tableNum(OEI1CokeCalendar), _control);
           
        sysTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(Calendar, Quarter));
        sysTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(Calendar, MonthStartDate));
        sysTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(Calendar, MonthEndDate));
        sysTableLookup.performFormLookup();
    }

    public void postBuild()
    {
        super();

        dialogPeriod        = this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(),
                          methodStr(OEI1_ClaimManagementContract, parmPeriodMonthly));

        dialogPeriod.registerOverrideMethod(methodStr(FormStringControl,lookup),
                        methodStr(OEI1_ClaimManagementUIBuilder, lookupCokePeriod),this);

        dialogPeriod.control().mandatory(true);

        dialogFromDate      = this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(),
                          methodStr(OEI1_ClaimManagementContract, parmFromDate));

        dialogFromDate.allowEdit(false);

        dialogToDate        = this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(),
                          methodStr(OEI1_ClaimManagementContract, parmToDate));

        dialogToDate.allowEdit(false);
                    


    }

Hi,

You can utilize the registerOverrideMethod and add modified method to dialogPeriod , also you can check the following link it has the same idea:

Hi,

There was a similar question before. It was about ssrs uiBuilder but it's still the same.
https://community.dynamics.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=6ac389bc-d592-477d-b53f-3d502818411e
So you need to registerOverride the modified method of the calendar field in the postRun method..and inside the method you can set the values.

So maybe sth like that:

public void postRun()

{

super();

// Override modified method

dialogPeriod.registerOverrideMethod(methodStr(FormStringControl, modified),methodStr(OEI1_ClaimManagementUIBuilder, cokePeriod_modified),this);

}

private boolean cokePeriod_modified(FormStringControl _control)

{

this.modifyDialogFields();

return _control.modified();

}

private void modifyDialogFields()

{

dialogFromDate.value(//put the value u want here);

dialogToDate.value(//put the value you want here);

}

Thanks,
