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

Mauritsio · 2017-02-25

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.
