I have the following extension:

[ExtensionOf(formDatasourceStr(EcoResProductDetailsExtended, InventTable))]
public final class FormDS_EcoResProductDetailsExtended_InventTable_Extension
{
public void executeQuery()
{
this.executeQuery_post();
next executeQuery();
}

public void executeQuery_post()
{
FormDataSource fds = any2Object(this) as FormDataSource;
FormRun formRun = fds.formRun();
FormStringControl strControl = formRun.control(formRun.controlId(formControlStr(EcoResProductDetailsExtended, BarcodeQuickFilter)));
str searchTerm = strControl.valueStr();

Args args;
FormRun newFormRun;
InventTable inventTable;
InventItemBarcode searchedItemBarcode;
select firstonly RecId from searchedItemBarcode where searchedItemBarcode.ItemBarCode == searchTerm
join * from InventTable where InventTable.itemId == searchedItemBarcode.ItemId;

if(InventTable.itemId)
{
args = new Args();
args.record(inventTable);
newFormRun = new menufunction(menuItemDisplayStr(EcoResProductDetailsExtendedGrid), MenuItemType::Display).create(args);

newFormRun.init();
newFormRun.run();
newFormRun.wait();
}

When it hits the line where the menufunction is added to the newFormRun variable, I get the error:

A control with the name 'NavigationListQuickFilter' already exists on the form.

1. Is this because I am calling this menu item while I am already at this form?

2. If so, is there a simpler way to just redirect my form to the detail part or the relevant itemId?

Hi Superbunny,

Can you explain what exactly you want to achieve? What exactly do you mean by "redirect my form to detail part" and what is "the relevant idemId"?

@André:

Hello,

What I would like to achieve is to navigate to the detail part of this form.

(by Master part I mean where you enter and see the grid with all the records. By Detail part I mean what you see if you click on a single record).

I figured so far that the error regarding the navigation control is due to me calling newFormRun.init. Since I navigate to the same form which I already was on, I figured this might cause issues. And removing the init call resolved my issue.

I also tried to call the following logic, after navigating to newFormRun:

FormTabControl ftc = element.design().controlName(formControlStr(EcoResProductDetailsExtended, Details)) as FormTabControl;
ftc.setFocus();

(Details is the element I want to move the view too, but this line of code also did not work)

By relevant ItemId I meant with data filtered for the found ItemId. This however works, as passing the record along via args works fine and now the view filters correctly. The problem that remains is that it navigates to the grid AKA master form part and I still cant move the view to the details part.

Hi Superbunny.

There is a method available for menu functions called formViewOption. Before the run() method you can add the next statement and check if that solves your challenge.

newFormRun.formViewOption(FormViewOption::Details);
