Infos and warning messages won't work on your WHMS app, if you haven't done this already

 


Hi friends, in a D365F&O application for Warehouse Management using mobile apps, if you are planning to put an info or a warning message in the middle of a code, in response to a validation, your code might not work, if you have written a code like this:

if (counter > maxNumberOfAttempts)

{

    warning ("You have exceeded maximum number of attempts");

}

The underlying code will simply ignore it. This is because the WHMS supporting classes don't understand any info, warning or error message, unless if you have made it a part of ProcessGuideMessageData and ProcessGuideNavigationParameters classes. For example, going with the above example, we want our mobile app to throw a warning message whenever the qty given in a given for an item is more than some value. Then you need to wire up the code like this:

if (counter > maxQty)

{

    ProcessGuideMessageData messageData = ProcessGuideMessageData::construct();

    ProcessGuideMessageData messageData = ProcessGuideMessageData::construct();

    messageData.message = "You have exceeded the number of allowed attempts.";

    messageData.level = WHSRFColorText::Warning;


    navigationParametersFrom = ProcessGuideNavigationParameters::construct();

    navigationParametersFrom.messageData = messageData;

} 

This you need to write in the doExecute() or validateControl() method of the Process Guided Prompt class.

When you have done this, the warning gracefully show up like this:



Yeah, that's how it works -- you have to emboss the warning message in the process guide class, that's the trick😅

Make your menu items visible on main menu, conditionally,, using this cool feature of D365FO

  Wassup guys? I am sure you must have encountered this situation where you needed to display your menuItems, on main menu, based on some condition, haven't you? This was only possible by using config keys and flights. Things get a bit tricky,  when suppose you have a requirement like this: you need to make it dynamic, by introducing a toggle switch on a field on a paremeter form.  Suppose on Accounts Receivables Parameters >> You have a field called ' Show US customer '. You have a requirement that says when you turn on this toggle, then only the menuItem ' Input SSN details ', under AR module. This is now highly acheivable by leveraging subscription to 'SysMenuNavigationObjectFactory' class, simply by saying a. Create a new class USMenuItemsVisibilityManager b. Copy the following method, with proper documentation (don't change signature/anything else) [SubscribesTo(classstr(SysMenuNavigationObjectFactory), staticdelegatestr(SysMenuNavigationObjec...

X++ : mistakes which developers commit the most

Image
   The most important thing is to remember where and when to write the code. a. Developers have an inherent habit of writing erratic select statements: select * from custTable where custTable.AccountNum == <SomeValue> Where in essence we need to make use of optimized choice of fields in the select statement. b. Making use of 'continue' keywords: While select custTrans where <someConditions> { if (cusTTrans.CustGroup != mappingTable.CustGroup) { continue; } } 'Continue' statements are precisely a very unhygienic way of designing your code. The above statement could have been easily ornamented by using exists/not exists joins. Using Continue statements would eventually result in a high performance impact. Also select statements should be made punctuated with a 'firstonly' clause -- just not from best practise standpoint, but also from performance considerations. c. Writing nested loops: This is a common mistake that perha...

Are you still using macros? Be sure you read this.

Image
  You still use a lot of macros in your code, don't you? Of course you should: Macros, as per Microsoft,  are p recompiler directives are processed before the code is compiled. The directives declare and handle macros and their values. The directives are removed by the precompiler so that the X++ compiler never encounters them. The X++ compiler only sees the sequence of characters written into the X++ code by the directives. However macros, are not quite recomended by Microsoft. They are slow, they can be subsequently deorectaed at any later time.  The Macros are  actually  a type of classes, only that they are not instantiated and not need be defined as classes. Hence runtime garbage collection could be a huge issue, consquently (a class when gets out of scope, gets garbage-collected owing to the destructor classes of DOT net instrumentation classes). Summing up, macrros are a bit old way of writing code. Use static classes instead. public static class MyIdenti...
