Hi all,

How to add customized lookup to a reference control in Dynamics 365 for operations in a form extension without using customization .LookupReference method is not available in the Events node of the form reference control.

Please guide.

Thanks & Regards,
Chutti.

You don’t need a separate event for lookupReference, the existing lookup event will do the job.

Here is an example:

[FormControlEventHandler(formControlStr(MyWorker, MyWorker_HcmWorkerRecId), FormControlEventType::Lookup)]
public static void MyWorker_HcmWorkerRecId_OnLookup(FormControl sender, FormControlEventArgs e)
{
    MyClass::createLookup(sender);

    FormControlCancelableSuperEventArgs cancelableArgs = e as FormControlCancelableSuperEventArgs;
    cancelableArgs.CancelSuperCall();
}

private static void createLookup(FormReferenceGroupControl _ctrl)
{
    SysReferenceTableLookup sysTableLookup = SysReferenceTableLookup::newParameters(tablenum(HcmWorker), _ctrl);
    Query                   query = new Query();

    sysTableLookup.addLookupfield(fieldNum(HcmWorker, PersonnelNumber));
   
    query.addDataSource(tablenum(HcmWorker));
    sysTableLookup.parmQuery(query);
    sysTableLookup.performFormLookup();
}
