Customization in New Dynamics AX (AK 7) Part 4- Custom Tables

In basic level we create two tables EarningCodeGroup and Earning Code. In this post we build simplest and very basic level forms.

 

Open the project and add a new Item and select Form  from “Add New Item “ Dialog and set its Name “AlEarningCodeGroup”

 

New form will be created in solution explore. Double click on it and open it in design mode.

In first step I add the Action tab, then Add Action tab Pane page and then Button group and then add three command button.

 

Now update the different properties of Action Pane, tab strip and command button.

Similarly set other two command button as Edit, and delete.

Now again right click on design and also add  group and rename it to grpFilter

Also right click on custom filter group and apply pattern We will see this in next post.

 

Now add Grid so form pattern requirement will be complete. Rename It to grpEarningCodeGroup. After that form design look like

 

Now we go back to add table as a data source. We created the AxEarningCodeGroup in previous post, we will use that table here.

 

 

 

 

Set Name it with your table name, select table and set insertIfEmpty property to no.

Now go back and expand action pane => Pane and then button group  and update datasouce property to table  property to  AlEarningCodeGroup

 

 

 

Now right click on grid and press F4 or open property window and set datasource to AxEarnigCodeGroup and datagroup to grid (I created the field group with Name “Grid” In previous post”.

Name It as “AlEarningCodeGroupMenu” . New menu Item will be added on solution explorer. Double click on it to open it in design mode and Set Object Type to form and Object to AlFormEarningCodeGroup. Also Update its label Property to “Earning code Group”.

 

Open the AlEarningCodeGroup table in designer window and set its form ref to AlFormEarningCodeGroupMenu This will help us to add earning code group in earning code entry form.

 

 

Now we add the menu Item in  Menu to run and display,  For this open the menu Item in designer mode and drag menu item created in above step. In this post I am using custom Menu, If you are working with out of box menu then you must create menu extension then drag the menu Item in it.

 

Now run the application with Ctrl F5, I found the earning Code group in menu.

 

By Clicking on link, forms open and I did following entries.
