Modifying control properties in a businessrule
Posted: 03 Aug 09 3:13 PM

Hi All,
I'm fairly new to development in the 7.5 web client and it seems to be the little things I have trouble with.
I'm simply trying to disable (or make readonly) a picklist field on the accountdetails view based on the results of a HQL query. My query is ok, but I'm just having trouble figuring out how to modify the enabled property of the control
I thought I could just do something like: "account.(controlName).Enabled = False", or somthing similar, but the control properties are not available in this way from what I see.
I'm sure I'm just being stupid... Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Don

Business rules affect entities, while you want to change a property of a control in a form.
You should use a code snippet action (or the "obsolete" c# snippet action) on your form.
E.g. change your business rule so it returns a boolean value, then add a onload code snippet action into the form.
In the snippet, write something like the following:
IAccount account = (IAccount) this.BindingSource.Current;
this.ControlName.Enabled = account.yourBusinessRule();
Note that "this" inside a form's load action refers to the form itself. The control is a property of the form, not of the entity.
This way, you keep the logic into the Entity layer using a business rule, but apply the criteria into the form.
