Re: SV: [development-axapta] How to show field hidden by user in X++
Thanks for the responses.
I tried what somanna suggested, but it didn't work. I talked with our
client, and they said that it's good enough that the whole form cannot
be altered (which can be done with parameters in the form). At least
it solves the problem, although it's a little like beating a fly with
a sledgehammer.
But it would be nice to know if it's even possible to do such a thing
at runtime, denying the ability to alter a form field instead of the
whole form.

You are changing code in aot on runtime, and unless you change it

There might even be a problem with missing X++ license, or if the
user doesn't have access to SysDevelopment.

Subject: [development-axapta] How to show field hidden by user in X++
Hey everyone,
I've searched both the group postings and google for this, and haven't
found anything yet. I need to either:
1. Show a field in a form immediately after a user hides it (so it
looks like the hide functionality doesn't work), or
2. Disable the hide functionality when a user right clicks on the field.
I would say the the first is preferrable, if it's at all possible.
Sincerely,
Chris

RE: SV: [development-axapta] How to show field hidden by user in X++
Hi
I was able to disable the hide functionality entirely in all forms by placing
code in the SysSetupFormRun class. If you add the line of code below into the
class' init() method before the super call you'll find that the Hide option is
not available on the context menu in any form.
this.form().design().allowUserSetup(false);
When I did this I felt it a little too restrictive so used a new security key
to determine whether the code should be executed (so that only some users were
denied the right to change their form setup) and I included the option to
override this entirely on some forms using an optional method placed on forms
that still need to have form setup and accessed through reflection. So, my bit
of code looks like this...
if ( new DictSecurityKey(SecurityKeyNum(GhsHideShow)).rights()
AccessType::Delete )
{
// User doesn't normally have rights to use Hide/Show - check if there
is form level override
if ( formHasMethod(this, IdentifierStr(GhsAlwaysEnableHideShow)) )
{
// Form has override - check how it should be applied
formRunObj = this;
if ( ! formRunObj.GhsAlwaysEnableHideShow() )
{
// Override not enabled - so disable Show/Hide ( form setup!)
this.form().design().allowUserSetup(false);
}
}
else
{
// Nor form override so just disable Show/Hide ( form setup!)
this.form().design().allowUserSetup(false);
}
}

Re: [development-axapta] How to show field hidden by user in X++
For versions Dynamics AX 4.0 and Axapta 3.0 there is a configuration key under Administration keys that can disallow all user modifications to the UI. This is essentially #2 but impacts more than just hide/show. The user will not be able to re-arrange columns or move fields from one tab to another. This keeps the user interface experience the same for all users. If you want to disable user modifications, go to Administration Setup System Configuration. Open the Administation folder and uncheck the option labeled Advanced Form Customizations. This configuration key appears to have been removed in AX 2009, so I am not sure how you can do this same thing in the latest release.
