How to get focus on desired line on the subpage list?

Mauritsio

Hi,

I'm working with subpage of parent page with MS Dynamics NAV 2015. My sub page has fields under repeater group. Does anyone have idea how I can get focus on specific line in subpage by using CAL? Now the focus goes always to the last line on subpage.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Mauritsio,

I had this requirement a couple of times.
I don't remember at the moment, if it was a GET or a Filter to be used.

Give it a try with a filter:

SETRANGE(desired_field, desired_value);
IF NOT ISEMPTY THEN
  FINDFIRST;

RESET;

By releasing the filter, the record-pointer should be the same.
Be careful when using RESET in this scenario. You may delete a filter which is necessary for the usability of the subpage.

You may run into a problem with this solution. It could be, that you will asked to rename the record.
Play a little bit with GET then.

Good luck.

Hi,

Thanks you for your answer! GET will work to set focus on desired line.
