Dynamically hide/display fields in Report request page - NAV 2013 OR NEWER Part II

2.. Process to Dynamically hide/display fields in Report request page
As Discussed in earlier Post. We can achieve request page Fields using / Setting Visibility of respective fields  . So in this post i would use a  INPUT BOX.
Below is example from Saurav Dhyani sir, i used it in my case.
How we used to use it in NAV 2009 Classic or Before -

Below is the code that we used to write for using InputBox to accepts inputs from User. In this case i will store the results in CustomerNo Variable as shown.

Here is what we have when i tried to run this codeunit.

Let's Move this codeunit to NAV 2013 R2 and try to Run the Same. 

It did compiled as shown below -

But Let's see what happens when i tried to run the same. Oh this ends up with an error message saying - "The Input Method is Obsolete".

How we can use it in NAV 2013 and Later?

DOTNET have the Same Funtion with a minor Change which can be used as Input Box.

I will Change the Paramter as Below -

--------------------OLD----------------
Name   = Window
DataType  = Dialog
SubType   = ''
--------------------OLD----------------

--------------------NEW-----------------
Name    = Window
DataType = DOTNET
SubType  = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.'Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'
------------------NEW--------------------

* Make Sure You change the Property RunOnClient = TRUE for the Variable Window, 

coming  to our example we need a boolean variable to to set the fields  Visibility , So i Prompted window to select true/ false . Like Below...

Then Set that Bool value , BUT the thing is that we should add code in onOpen page ()Trigger

One more thing is that we should/can only write above code  in ONINIT() or OnopenPAge 

because these are only area that i hav seen effect after that page is already instantiated so there would be no effect.



The Flaw in this process is that once you got request page there is no use of boolean variable as if you change it to false i mean uncheck BOX  there would be no use ...

So go for 1st Process , if you need  you can use 2 nd process

Thank you ...........

Dynamically hide/display fields in Report request page - NAV 2013 OR NEWER Part I

As EveryOne know for getting Dynamically hide /Display fields in Request Page of report we need

1. Boolean Variable
(And  Field  that we want dynamically let it be of TEXT variable for this Example .) like below

I need to implement like when i click boolean button to true (check box) then only a text field should appear like below.

THEN BOOM

so We have declare the two variables as shown in first pic and don't forget to set their properties to


INCLUDE to DATASET to YES.....

Now SET the Visibility of  Text variable to Boolean Variable . Like Below ...

Now Save the report and Run......................................................................................

Yes , you wont get any result i mean dynamic fields as this above process has got result for 2009 NAV ..I'm NOT the Big Guy to discuss about why?


So there are two process for achieving it

1..Make a Group and set the group Visibility property to Boolean variable as Below

Now Save THE REPORT AND RUN IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM..

In the Next post i will use a Dotnet variable to get Boolean so NO group visibility......
