MenuItem types

What is the difference between MenuItem types - Display, Action and Output, except that they reside under different AOT nodes and that different intrinsic functions should be used to access them via reflection?

I know one - they are displayed with different images in the navigation pane:

Are there any other differences?

61 comments:

  1. output normally run reports
    action normally run classes
    display normally run forms

    I've found that in order to make the right-click and open work from a report, the extended data type/table's formref needs to open a display menu item. It does not work to open a class - at least in AX 4.0 SP2

    ReplyDelete
  2. To open a class, the class needs to have a main method, even in 4 SP2!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Cool. That's the difference - "only display menu items can be used as FormRef"
    However you can run a class or a report from that display menu item so "Go to main table" will do that.

  4. Hi

    I'm working in Shop Floor Control > Clock in/out.
    The end users doesn't have any input control if they scan wrong Employee Id, In that case the error message should close by itself.

    I know Infolog.CloseInfolog(msecs) close a infolog after certain time(msecs).

    Is there any way to close the "throw" error message automatically, Or In other words How do i stop execution in case invalid input entry?

    Please let me know

    ReplyDelete
  5. Hi,

    If I understood correctly there are 2 options you can choose from:
    1) remove error message from the infolog - use infolog.clear(0)
    2) do not display error message but only throw an error - use throw Exception::Error

    ReplyDelete
  6. Thanks Gigz...

    The issue is....the code (\Classes\JmgRegistrationForm\empId()) uses throw statements to display error message and stop the execution further. In that case Employee should hit 'ok' button in the error(infolog) message to try to scan the badge again.

    Infolog.CloseInfolog(msecs) / Infolog.Clear(0) wont close the "throw" message right?

    If you think its irrelavant to discuss about this issue in this topic, i can email you. please let me know

    ReplyDelete
  7. Infolog.clear(0) should close the infolog if there was nothing in it before the method call.
    Try the following job:

    try
    {
    throw error("Error");
    }
    catch
    {
    infolog.clear(0);
    }

    That is what I think you can do in your case.

  8. Another reason to use menuitems is to be able to attach the configuration and security keys. As a developer, we can bypass the security checks in calling the class or report directly. So, is a best practises in using the menuitems, just my personal thought.

    ReplyDelete
  9. No doubt that menu items should be used. I just wanted to figure out what is different between their types.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Wow...Thanks Gigz, that helps,
    i used closeinfolog in catch block.

  11. Hi Gigz

    I'm having trouble in using update_recordset to update multiple rows (in dest table) by processing multiple (using join) rows from source table.

    let us say, if i want to get sum(qty) from my source table, its not getting the sum, instead its getting only first record qty value.

    could you please assist me?
    let me know if you need more info.


    Here is my code:


    update_recordset _dest
    setting soldqty = _dest.soldqty + _source.qty
    join sum(qty) from _source
    where _dest.itemid == _source.itemid &&
    (_source.physicaldate >= _dest.periodfrom &&
    _source.physicaldate <= _dest.periodto);


    Thanks
    Jaffar

    ReplyDelete
  12. I would say you need to do "group by ItemId" for the joined table.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Thanks for the quick response. I tried it already and it seems it didn't like.

    Order by/ group by clauses are not allowed in update_recordset statements.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Yes, right.

    You'll have to use while select in this case. I don't think it is possible to do update_recordset.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Initially i wrote the code using while select... and select forupdate...)
    (and the source table is inventTrans)

    Since it affects performance, i thought of using update_recordset which may faster the process. but no luck..

    Do you think is there any other better way i can try to improve the performance? Have indexes also.

    Thanks

  16. If this operation is really a bottleneck you can use direct SQL.

    ReplyDelete
  17. If you don't mind, Can you give me your email id so that i can explain my requirement in detail?

    ReplyDelete
  18. In addition to allowing you to set configuration keys and security rights, you can also pass different parameters into the same object (e.g., COSDiffProd and COSDiffProj Output MenuItems call the same report, but pass different EnumParameters.)

    Although each MenuItem type can be used to reference a Form, Report, Job, Class, Query, or SQLLibraryReport (at least in Ax2009) a perusal of the AOT shows that the following uses are fairly typical (but by no means always the case) :

    Display: as already noted, open a form (or class that opens a form) object, often called from a MenuItemButton control, or from the Content Pane.

    Output: open a report by calling a runbasereport class or a report directly.

    Action: Callout to a class to modify a record, import data, run an upgrade checklist or a consistency check, or print a report; usually called from a Control on a form, such as a MenuItemButton.
