dialogPostRun method in RunBaseReport

Question

I have a RunBaseReport which contains overrided dialog method where I'm adding couple of my controls. One of those controls is a combobox. Controls enabled() property should be changed when I'm modifying combobox.

So basically I need to know when the value of my dfReportType dialog field changes.

public Object dialog(Object dialog)
{
     DialogRunbase dialog = dialog;
     ;
     //adding my combobox
     dfReportType = dialog.addFieldValue(typeid(ReportType), ReportType:DefaultType);
     //adding some other controls here
     return dialog; 
}

According to many articles that I found I need to override dialogPostRun Method and do something like this:

public void dialogPostRun(DialogRunbase dialog)
{
    super(dialog);
    dialog.dialogForm().formRun().controlMethodOverload(true);
    dialog.dialogForm().formRun().controlMethodOverloadObject(this);
}

But unfortunately I don't have this method in RunBaseReport class. Which should be there according to msdn .

Are there any other workarounds?

Answer 1

Well, there is no dialogPostRun method in Report object that inherits RunBaseReport, but we have this method in Class that inherits RunBaseReport.

So that was my mistake. I used report object instead of class.

If you want to make custom dialog for the report but you also want to use all default controls you should:

• Create class
• Inherit RunBaseReport
• Override dialog, getFromDialog etc.

• Override lastValueElementName method

  public identifiername lastValueElementName()
  {
      //just put name of your report object
      return reportStr(YourReportName);
  }
  

Don't forget to add main() method if you going to make call from menuItem.
