Hi All,

I am trying to open a form which has a dialog box before opening a form which contains Username and Fromdate,Todate

but I want to show the UsersList in a drag down menu of that dialog field how can I do it…?

2

User name is not unique or not even mandatory. I would suggest using user id (the lookup will also show you the user name as well)

Okay but Iam not geting it as a drop down, please send me the code for drop down in dialog field

4

Are you using UserId EDT?

How you are building the dialog? If possible, show us your code…

HI Kranthi,

static void theAxapta(Args _args)
{
DialogField dialogStartDate, dialogEndDate, dialogEmpName;
Dialog dialog = new Dialog(“Month range”);
TransDate fromDate, todate;
Name empname;
dialogStartDate = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(TransDate));
dialogEndDate = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(TransDate));
dialogEmpName = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(Name));

dialogStartDate.label(“From Date”);
dialogEndDate.label(“To Date”);
dialogEmpName.label(“Emp Name”);

if(dialog.run())
{
fromDate = mkDate(1, mthOfYr(dialogStartDate.value()), year(dialogStartDate.value()));
toDate = (mkDate(1, (mthOfYr(dialogEndDate.value()) + 1), year(dialogEndDate.value())) - 1);
empname = dialogEmpName.value();
}
}

dialogEmpName = dialog.addField(extendedTypeStr(UserId)); // it gives the user id look up, the lookup will also have the user name.

Change it from user name to user id.
