This might be a bug.
I know it's possible to call datasource field properties like this
custTable_ds.object(fieldnum(custTable,Name)).skip(true);
this type of code is used a lot, i.e. in the price discount forms.
However, When you call the modified... e.g.
address_ds.object(fieldNum(Address,Name)).modified();
It calls the modified method on the table and not the form.
There MIGHT be a way around this, by using the tree node to run the
method.
e.g. use the tree node to find the method, then use the x++ compiler
to run it, e.g.
treenode::findNode('\\forms\\'+this.name()+'\\Data
Sources\\Address\\Fields\\Name\\Methods\\Modified\\')
... this might/might not work, sorry i haven't explored this kind of
code yet.
I suggest this because Standard Axapta uses something similar a lot,
check the method called "formhasmethod" in the class Global.
The alternative is simply to copy the code. Copy the code from the
modified and paste it into a new method in the form under the root
methods in the form. Then you can call this.
e.g.
Change this
public void modified()
{
;
// do some code
super();
// do some more code
}
to this
public void modified()
{
;
// element.dosomeCode();// create this method
super();
// element.doSomeMoreCode(); // create this method
}
