Test if a configuration key is enabled in X++ code
How do you execute code when a Configuration key is enabled? It is pritty easy. Ax x++ has a build-in function ‘isConfigurationKeyEnabled’, witch you can use to check a configuration key. Small example: if (isConfigurationKeyEnabled(configurationkeynum(AIF))) { // Do something… }if (isConfigurationKeyEnabled(configurationkeynum(AIF))) { // Do something… }
Setting propperties on a FormControl without AutoDeclaration
When you want to set a property of a control on a form without setting the property AutoDeclaration = yes. You can address the control trough the following code, knowing that element is a FormRun-object: element.design().controlName("btnOk").visible(false);element.design().controlName("btnOk").visible(false);

Counting the number of records in a QueryRun
When you want to count the number of records that are currently displayed on a form, and you have only one data source, just call the static method countTotal() from the SysQuery-class. public void executeQuery() { ; super(); info(int2str(SysQuery::countTotal(EmplTable_ds.queryRun()))); }public void executeQuery() { ; super(); info(int2str(SysQuery::countTotal(EmplTable_ds.queryRun()))); } But when you want to do the same … Continue Reading
The Args class
The args class is probably the class u use most in Ax, and this probably even without knowing. This class is used to give arguments from one object to a new object. For example when you click on a menu-item to open a class, the menu-item will pass a args-object to Main-Method of your class. The … Continue Reading
