Hide a field Form

Alkro

Is possible to hide any field in a Form with code?

I have this code in OnLookUp:

varItemLedgerEntry.LOOKUPMODE := TRUE;

FormEntries.SETTABLEVIEW(varItemLedgerEntry);
IF FormEntries.RUNMODAL = ACTION::LookupOK THEN BEGIN
  FormEntries.GETRECORD(varItemLedgerEntry);
  VALIDATE("Lot 1", varItemLedgerEntry."Lot No.");
  VALIDATE("Location 1",'10');
END;

With this, Item Ledger Entries form is opened, but i want user only could see Item and Lot fields, but i won't create a new form.

You can, but it gets complicated. You have to change the text in the OnFormat trigger for each field you don't want to display. You also have to modify codeunit 1 (NOT recommended) or disable the Zoom feature for the users. Keep in mind that code on Forms does not translate to NAV2009.

The best way really is to make another Form, though.

you can make a new form or you do the following (but if the user has the permission to show coloumns, then he can display it)

//In you "FormEntries" you define a function like this
NotVisibleFields()
CurrForm."Item no.".visible(false);
CurrForm.OtherFields.visible(false);
//and the other fields that are not visible


//now we run the "FormEntries" form

FormEntries.SETTABLEVIEW(varItemLedgerEntry);
FormEntries.NotVisibleFields(); //here we hide the fields
IF FormEntries.RUNMODAL = ACTION::LookupOK THEN BEGIN
  FormEntries.GETRECORD(varItemLedgerEntry);
  VALIDATE("Lot 1", varItemLedgerEntry."Lot No.");
  VALIDATE("Location 1",'10');
END;
