Hiding enumvalues in bounded combobox on a form

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Member

I do have a combox on a form bounded to an enum with 6 values in. Now I want to hide element 3,4 and 5.

The only solution I found for bounded combobox was to delete the element, but than the selection is messed up because if you select the 6 element of the enum you get the wrong value (value 3)

How can I fix this?

Not sure if what you mean by "bound" is what AX devs normally mean as "bound", so just gonna throw this link in there, in case my guess was acurate.

this does not work. I tried that as well. in the post it says:

P.S. It is also worth mentioning, that this class does not provide support for grids. It requires a stand-alone control, not bound to a database table field.

define an additional enum field with all 6 values. delete the not used values from the original enum field.

with the combobox.selectionchange handler set the needed value 6 to the 2. enum field, if in the combobox is the 3. value selected.

so in the 2. enum field you have the correct value to use for further processing.

Hi Deepak,

I tried the solution what you had provided, but it won't work, if it's in a grid, as it is not showing the proper elements in the combo box after the deletion (by overriding the enter method on the control).

Can you try your solution in a grid (enum is bounded control in my scenario) and let me know with the solution.

Good evening.

In order to resolve this issue with a grid control - override a form's run method and use a combobox's delete method to remove an extra element.
