Run Form with parameters

Gavrila

Hi all. I have a form and i want to run (pass) it with some parameters. Another words I want to change properties in form depending on external data. It is possible in NAV?

yes, that is possible. Create some functions in the form with which you pass your parameters into global variables of the form, and then run it using code.
Example : say you added a function SetHideControls ( value : boolean ) to form 50000.

function HideControls ( Value : boolean )
begin
  HidecontrolsBoolean := value ;
end ;

then in the OnOpenForm trigger ( and other places ) you can do something with that global :

currform.someControl.visible := not(hidecontrols) ;
...

In the calling code declare a variable, type form, subtype 50000 and use the following code ( i called if f ) :

clear(f) ;
f.SetHideControls(true) ;
f.run ; // or f.runmodal, whatever you want

in the form you can then do something with the value of

Thank you for reply.

But I need to pass parameters and run form with a record variable.
Something like that.....
clear(f);
f.SetHideControls(true) ;
f.run(Rec);
But Forms can not be run as codeunits i.e. CodeunitVariable.RUN(Rec) .

Have a look in the helpfile for functions like f.setrecord, f.settableview etc.
