How to pass parameters from Form to form

Hi,
Sometimes we want to open a form from another form with the selected record . For this we need to pass the parameters from form A to form B . This could be achieved by using args class by overriding the click method of button on form A.
In this example we will use two forms form A is salesLine form and form B is inventenquiry form. when the user will click on the button on form A it will open form B filtering the record according the form A value.lets start

1. Put a button on form A and override its click method
2. write the following code

void clicked()
{
    //super();
    Args args=new Args();
    Itemid itemid;
    FormRun formRun;
    ;
    args.name(formstr(InventEnquiry)); // invent enquiry is the form B
    args.parm(salesLine.ItemId);// passing the item id from Form A
 
    formRun = classFactory.formRunClass(args); /// passing the args class
    formRun.init();
    formRun.run();
    formRun.wait();
 
}
3.Now override the init method of the form B data source inventTable

public void init()
{
     super();
     if(element.args().parm())
    {

       this.query().dataSourceName('InventTable').addRange(fieldnum(InventTable,ItemId)).value(element.args().parm());
       this.query().userUpdate(false);
            this.query().interactive(false);

    }

}

Hope it helps
cheers,

Hi, 
To run and save the axapta report in PDF format on your hard drive just override the init() method of your report with the following code.


public void init()

super();

element.printJobSettings.setTarget(PrintMedium::File); // print format is on file

element.printJobSettings.preferredTarget(PrintMedium::File);

element.printJobSettings.format(PrintFormat::PDF);

element.printJobSettings.preferredFileFormat(PrintFormat::PDF);  //file extension is pdf

element.printJobSettings.fileName("c:\\temp\\test-invoice.pdf"); // file location and name

element.printJobSettings().warnIfFileExists(false);  // dont show the option to overwrite report file

element.printJobSettings().allPages(false); // dont print all pages of report

element.printJobSettings().from(2); // print from page 2

element.printJobSettings().to(5); //print to page 5

element.query().interactive(false); // disable all dialogue
