Question

I have a question about how to implement this code

public void setFieldAccess()
{

if(HcmWorkerBankAccount.FullAmount == NoYes::Yes)
{

    hcmworkerbankaccount_ds.allowedit(false);
}
else
{
    hcmworkerbankaccount_ds.allowedit(true);
}
}

It says to create it on the form’s methods and call it in the datasource’s active method and field’s modified method. I am assuming this is the field in the datasource, not on the form design.

My question is if this is how I call the method:

public int active()
{
int ret;
element.setFieldAccess();
ret = super();

return ret;
}


public void modified()
{

element.setFieldAccess();
super();
}

Answer 1

First off, your method is too verbose, this is the way to put it:

public void setFieldAccess()
{
    hcmworkerbankaccount_ds.object(fieldNum(HcmWorkerBankAccount,Amount)).allowEdit(!HcmWorkerBankAccount.FullAmount);
}

Also, call the method after the super() call:

public int active()
{
    int ret = super();
    element.setFieldAccess();    
    return ret;
}
