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
strrep vs. strreplace
In Ax the name of Methods are sometimes (by my opinion) not so clear chosen. For example, when I try to replace a string in ax by typing strrep(..) instead of strreplace(..). strrep –> repeat a certain string for X times. strreplace –> replace a certain string. So please chose clear names for your methods…
About classes
In this post I will talk about classes and what you can do with them. Abstract class When you create a abstract class, you want to ensure that this class can not be instantiated. You wil have to create a sub-class that wil actually use the functionality. Example: abstract class MyClass { }abstract class MyClass … Continue Reading

It is a verry good book to look up a problem and find the correponding solution. TOC: Preface Chapter 1: Processing Data Chapter 2: Working with Forms Chapter 3: Working … Continue Reading

Working with numbersequences – On forms
When you want to implement NumberSequences in a Ax form (new numbersequence when you create a record etc.) you can just implement the ‘numberSeqFormHandler’. Step-by-step:
Working with numbersequences – Keep In Mind
When you are using a Number Sequence, keep in mind that a Continuous Number Sequence is slower than a non-continuous. The reason is that the system creates a record in the table NumberSequenceList (with the status Active) and cleans it up later during TTSCOMMIT. Performance tip: You can improve the performance of a process that creates many … Continue Reading
Working with numbersequences – New Module
In a previous post I explained how to create a new Number Sequence in a existing module (Working with numbersequences – new NumberSequence). In this post I will explain how you can create a new Number Sequence-module. I will create a new module called TEST (lack of inspiration). Step-By-Step:
