The Ax Infolog
Wel all know the small dialog that gives the user usefull information about what is happening in Ax. In this post I will tell u some more about this.
You can add information to the Infolog by calling:
- Infolog.add(…)
info(…)
warning(…) or checkfailed(…)
error(…)- You can add some structure in it by using setPrefix(…)
- Using the Proxy-class for the Enterprise Portal
Catching a key-press
When you want to catch a key-stroke on a form, you can override the method task()
The default method will look like this:
public int task(int _taskId) { int ret; ret = super(_taskId); // write you're code here return ret; }
Now you just need to check the _taskId, to know witch key you have stroke. You can compare this withe the values from the Task-macro.
// Task-ID values, to be used with formControl's // return value from the method task() //-------------------------------------------------------- #define.taskF1(257) #define.taskCtrlQ(264) #define.taskEnter(288) #define.taskShiftEnter(307) #define.taskNew(260) #define.taskSave(272) #define.taskShortCutMenuKey(519) #define.taskAlt(520) #define.taskCut(770) #define.taskCopy(771) #define.taskPaste(772) #define.taskDeleteKey(773) #define.taskSelectAll(778) #define.taskUndo(769) #define.taskRedo(791) #define.taskArrowUp(1281) #define.taskArrowDown(1282) #define.taskArrowLeft(1283) #define.taskArrowRight(1284) // PgUp and PgDn are the numerical keyboard page up and page down commands. #define.taskPgUp(1285) #define.taskPgDn(1286) #define.taskEsc(1313) #define.taskNextRecord(2817) #define.taskPrevRecord(2818) #define.taskDeleteRecord(2832) #define.taskPageDown(2819) #define.taskPageUp(2820) #define.taskTab(2827) #define.taskNext(2827) #define.taskPrev(2828) #define.taskShortCutMenuFilter(2844) #define.taskShortCutMenuFind(799) #define.taskFilter(2837) // max task id #define.taskLast(8191)
Lock on form elements in Dynamics Ax
Some end-users like to make their own modifications on their forms (right-click on the form –> setup). Last week I had a customer that was not able to do this trick any more. After some research and a tip from a colleague, I came to the conclusion that this had something to do with overriding the methods tabChange() and tabChanged() on the form.
Solution:
Use the methods pageActivated() / allowPageDeactivate() instead.
