ctivate form controls by their IDs

Nosta

Hi,

I need to activate some particular control on the form by control's ID.
For instance:

CurrForm.Name.ACTIVATE;

I need to replace with code where field Name is referred by ControlID.
Is there any method like

CurrForm.CONTROL::15.ACTIVATE;

:?:

I don't know the forms list my solution will work with, but I can get a list of all controls and their IDs on the particular form. Thus, I can operate with ControlID only.

Unfortunately it isn't possible to refer to a control by it's ID. in NAV you will have to do everything by name.
So the only way you could approximate what you want to do is by building a BIG case statement.

How do you get a list of controls on a form? There's no collection to pull from, are you using an external tool or something?

2 MBerger: bad news.. again.. thank you

2 DenSter: I'm exporting objects to *.txt file and analyze it manually by parsing its content. Hard work, but by now, it's the only way to get a controls' list
