Hiding Buttons on Forms

madm · 2007-04-17

On our goods receipt form we wish to hide the post/print button to prevent goods being posted. I have added a boolean in to show this trigger.

If the trigger = true then the post/print button needs to be replaced with just a print button.

I have created a test button called Print1, and put the following into several areas of the form but withouse success (in addition to this, i will need to set the print/post button to hide. I thought about laying the new button over the top of the current button to get it to swap?):

IF WhseActivityLines.BOOLEANFIELD = TRUE THEN
CurrForm.Print1.VISIBLE
ELSE
CurrForm.Print1.VISIBLE(FALSE);

(When receiving goods, we have 1order / whs avtivity header)

Am I able to set buttons to hide like i am with columns?

Thanks

The trigger you're looking for is OnAfterGetCurrentRecord, but if you have a header/lines form it's not so easy, because the header is looking into a different table than the lines form. You'll have to program something to check the condition on the lines.

The lines thing becomes more difficult.

Just to go off topic for a sec - since this post is about Hiding Buttons I figured I'd paste some doc's about Hiding Buttons incase somone in the future is looking.

thanks for your replies

The form i am working on looks at the warehouseactivityhdr, whereas the boolean is on the w.a lines, so I guess this is the tricky situation!

I have tried doing a get / find from the header to the line but to no avail, so any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks

Something like

MyLineRec.RESET;
MyLineRec.SETRANGE(PrimaryKeyField,MyHeaderRec.PrimaryKeyField);
MyLineRec.SETRANGE(TheBooleanField,TRUE);
CurrForm.MyButton.VISIBLE(MyLineRec.ISEMPTY);

This is pseudocode, I have not tried this on an actual form.
