In AX2012, if you have an SSRS report that has parameters
and you want to customize the “go to main table functionality” of a parameter,
here’s how to do it:
In the UI builder of the report, override the postRun() method:
/// <summary>
/// This method registers the dialog field
methods to capture events.
/// </summary>
public void
postRun()
{
Dialog
dialogLocal = this.dialog();
DialogField dialogField;
super();
// This method should be called in order to handle events
on dialogs.
dialogLocal.dialogForm().formRun().controlMethodOverload(false);
dialogField = this.bindInfo().getDialogField(this.dataContractObject(),
methodstr(CustTableReportContract,
parmCustTable));
// Override the default jumpRef to use custTableJumpRef.
dialogField.registerOverrideMethod(methodstr(FormStringControl,
jumpRef),
methodstr(CustTableReportUIBuilder,
custTableJumpRef), this);
}
Add a method custTableJumpRef()
to be used in place of the default jumpRef of the control, this can be added to
the UI builder class of the report:
/// <summary>
/// Provides go to main table (View Details)
functionality.
/// </summary>
public void
custTableJumpRef()
{
MenuFunction menuFunction;
Args args = new
Args();
menuFunction = new
MenuFunction(menuitemDisplayStr(CustTable),
MenuItemType::Display);
// Pass the record selected in the lookup here.
args.lookupRecord(CustTable::find('4000'));
// If you don't want to pass any queries to the jumpRef
form.
menuFunction.copyCallerQuery(CopyCallerQuery::No);
// Call the jumpRef form.
menuFunction.run(args);
}
This can be used to override any number of default methods
of control to provide customized functionality e.g. lookup.
The Sys Operation Framework (formerly known as the Business
Operation framework, or BOF) also follows the same pattern; so you can use the
above example in that as well.
