Hi

Is it possible to disable the docuref button for a form datasource.
I have some trouble with the PurchEditLines form. The records in this form
are created temporarily so when the user opens the form again, the records
are recreated and therefore all docurefs are gone (mapped to a non-existing
record).
So I would like to disable this button to avoid confusion.

Hi Jonas,
go to Basic > Setup > Document management. Open the Parameters form, check
"Use Active document tables" and set up them in the Actice document tables
form.

Thanks. I was not aware of those forms.
However, as far as I can see, activating this would require me to add all
other tables to the list of tables that can have a docuref, instead of just
blocking it for a single table. Correct?

Yes, that's true. If it is not suitable, you have to modify the code. The
logic is implemented in class Docu, method.reSearch().

Ok, thanks.

i solved this by adding the following lines to the research method:

if (formDataSourceHasMethod(formDataSource, 'DisableDocuRef'))
{
disableNoteButton();
return;
}

So, by just adding an empty method called DisableDocuRef to FormDataSources
of my choice I am able to disable the button.
There are probably better ways to do this, but this was the only thing that
I could come up with.

Jonas,

You could also try:

// If no valid datasource
common = formRun.docCursor();
if (! common.RecId || ! common.dataSource()
//AXI
|| common.isTmp()
//AXI end
)
{
disableNoteButton();
return;
}

Actually it doesn't help, because PurchParm* tables are not technically
temporary. BTW DocuRef for temporary tables (defined as temporary in AOT, not
set in run-time) is alredy disabled by Docu class.

Yes, you are correct here Martin.
These tables are not temporary, they are just used for storing data
temporarily...

Actually I have had some problems with these tables. We have a customer that
wants to save some DocuRefs for records in the PurchParmTable. But when the
form closes the data gets copied (moved) into the VendInvoiceInfoTable and
the next time the form is opened the data is copied back to a new record in
the PurchParmTable and the the docuref is lost. I had to create my own logic
to also change reftable and refrecid for these DocuRefs.

There really should be an easy way to disable docurefs both on form and
table level (just by setting a property).
