Get fields present within field group [ax 2009]

Question

AX allows one to define Field Group ( E.g. Dimension ) as an Array in Extended Data Types. How do I get the array elements information, such as label and base type?

Code :

 tID = dict.tableName2Id('CustTable');
counter = 0;
dt = new DictTable(tID);
if (dt)
{
    counter = dt.fieldNext(counter);
    while (counter)
    {
        df = dt.fieldObject(counter);
        arrSize = df.arraySize();
        if (df && arrSize > 1)
        {
            // Field group, get array elements and types ??

        }
        counter = dt.fieldNext(counter);
    }
}

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you mean by field group, but every member of the Array is going to be of the same type.

df.type();

or

df.TypeId()

Depending on what "type" you are looking for.

To get the label pass the number of the array element

for(i=i;i<=arrSize;i++)
{
    print df.label(i);
}

Unusually this is well documented in msdn http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa556779(v=ax.50).aspx
