Adding lookup method on Form Reference Group AX 2012

Reference Group Control lookups in AX 2012

With the addition of reference groups fields the AX forms including the dialog form gives a rich control called theFormReferenceGroupControl. With this post, I will show you how to add a reference field in the batch dialog form and add a filtered query controlled drop down.

I am going to show with a EcoResCategoryId field. The requirement is to filter out categories with Level 3 and present in the batch dialog dropdown.

 

Class Declaration:

 Declare the warehouse and category fields and dialog fields as below.

InventLocationId            inventLocationId;

EcoResCategoryId            EcoResCategoryId;

DialogField                 DialogInventLocationId,DialogEcoResCategoryId;

Dialog Method:

public Object dialog()

{

    dialog    dialog = new DialogRunbase("@ZON2996",this);

    DialogEcoResCategoryId   = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(EcoResCategoryId),"Category");

    DialogInventLocationId   = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(InventLocationId),"Warehouse");

    return dialog;

}

DialogPostRun method should be overridden to enable the lookup method of the fields

public void dialogPostRun(DialogRunbase _dialogloc)

{

    super(_dialogloc);

    _dialogloc.dialogForm();

     _dialogloc.dialogForm().formRun().controlMethodOverload(true);

    _dialogloc.dialogForm().formRun().controlMethodOverloadObject(this);

     _dialogloc.formRun().controlMethodOverload(true);

    _dialogloc.formRun().controlMethodOverloadObject(this);

}

Determine the field Id of the control from the dialog form. Personalizing will show you the below form.

From the below form we know that Fld1_1 is the field for the category. Also note that as it is reference group, a Name field is shown that should hold the category information in the string box.

Lookup:

We would need to create a lookup method for the above field as below.

void Fld1_1_lookup()

{

    Query     DropDownquery          = new Query();

    FormControl       frmSTr         = DialogEcoResCategoryId.dialog().formRun().controlCallingMethod();

//Use the SysReferenceTableLookup class instead of SystableLookup class for such reference group control

    SysReferenceTableLookup          sysTableLookup = SysReferenceTableLookup::newParameters(tableNum(EcoResCategory), frmSTr,true);

   

    QueryBuildDataSource     qbds;

    QueryBuildRange          qbr,qbr1;

    ;

    qbds = DropDownquery.addDataSource(tableNum(EcoResCategory));

    qbr  = qbds.addRange(fieldNum(EcoResCategory,Level));

    qbr.value(queryValue(3));

   

    sysTableLookup.addSelectionField(fieldNum(EcoResCategory, Name));

    sysTableLookup.addLookupField(fieldNum(EcoResCategory, ReciD));

    sysTableLookup.addLookupField(fieldNum(EcoResCategory, Name));

    sysTableLookup.addLookupField(fieldNum(EcoResCategory, Code));

    sysTableLookup.parmQuery(DropDownquery);

    sysTableLookup.performFormLookup();

}
