Modifying tab order

In AX to change tab order normally you change the order of the controls in the form. You can set the "Skip" property on a control to Yes and when the user tabs it will skip that control. Certain forms where there are many groups or process flow should be different than the default way require a different approach. There is a way to specify the tab order for an entire form.



First set AutoDeclaration to Yes on all your controls.

Second override the init method and provide it an array of control IDs in the order that you want to tab

void init() { Array tabOrder = new Array(Types::Integer); ; super(); tabOrder.value(1, Control1.id()); tabOrder.value(2, Control2.id()); tabOrder.value(3, Control3.id()); tabOrder.value(4, Control4.id()); tabOrder.value(5, Control5.id()); tabOrder.value(6, Control6.id()); tabOrder.value(7, Control7.id()); tabOrder.value(8, Control8.id()); tabOrder.value(9, Control9.id()); tabOrder.value(10, Control10.id()); tabOrder.value(11, Control11.id()); tabOrder.value(12, Control12.id()); element.tabOrder(tabOrder); }

Passing values between form and class

Class name is EmplDuplication and Form is EmplTable . void clicked() {    MenuFunction mf;    args args = new Args();    ;     args.record(EmplTable);     mf = new menufunction(identifierstr(EmplDuplication), MenuItemType::Action); mf.run(args); } Meanwhile, in the main() method of the EmplDuplication class, we need to put this Axapta x++ code to get the datasource: static void main(Args args) {     EmplDuplication EmplDuplication; EmplTable localEmplTable; ;     if(args.record().TableId == tablenum(EmplTable)) localEmplTable = args.record();     ... }

What does this mean: "The form datasource query object does not support changing its AllowCrossCompany property after the form has executed the query."?

I have made a form with datasources vendtable and vendtrans. Inside vendtable_ds.executequery() looks like this: QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDatasource ,queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice; ; queryBuildDatasource = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtable)); queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtrans)); if (curext() == "MASTERCOMP") { this.query().allowCrossCompany(true); } else { this.query().allowCrossCompany(false); } //FilterVendorName = stringedit control on form if (FilterVendorName.text()) { queryBuildDatasource.addRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)).value(strfmt("*%1*", FilterVendorName.text())); } else { queryBuildDatasource.clearRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)); } //FilterInvoiceNumber = stringedit control on form if (FilterInvoiceNumber.valueStr() == "") { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(false); } else { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(true); queryBDS_VendTrans_In...
