Edit Methods in AX 2012

Indicates that the methods return type is to be use to provide information for a field that is used in a form only

 

 We can create edit method on the

 

1. Table methods

2. Form methods

3. Form datasoruce methods

 

        Take the new method in the table, and then drag that method into the grid and set data source properties.
 In that field is usercan edit it and accept the values to the user and save it CustTable.

 

Edit Name name(boolean _set , Name _name) {     Name    name    = _name;     CustTable   custTable;     ;     if(_set)     {         if(name)         {             ttsbegin;             custTable   = CustTable::find(this.CustAccount,true);             custTable.Name  = name;             custTable.update();             ttscommit;         }     }     else     {         name    = CustTable::find(this.CustAccount).Name;     }     return name; }

 

Or

In AX 2009, when reference controls were not available, in table if there is a relation created on the basis of recId i.e. there is a child table and it contains the record Id of the parent Table. When that child table binds to form, (to display and select the user friendly information from the parent table, lookup controls were used). The record Id of the user friendly value is saved on the table with the help of the edit methods.

To give an example of an edit method, we will create a new field in the CarTable to hold the mileage of the car and have an edit method in RentalTable that enables the users to be in the RentalTable form and still edit the field in CarTable.

 

We'll create an extended data type of type integer for the new field and call it Mileage. Then we'll dd the field to the CarTable.

 

The edit method in RentalTable will then look like this:

edit Mileage mileage(boolean _set, Mileage value) {     CarTable carTable;     Mileage  ret;       // find the car records from the car table with update = true     carTable = CarTable::find(this.CarId, _set);       if (_set)     {         ttsbegin;          carTable.Mileage = value;         carTable.update();           ttscommit;     }     else     {         ret = carTable.Mileage;     }       return ret; }
