How to: Create a New Record When a Form Opens

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

To create a new record every time that the user opens a form:

• Call the create method on the form data source.

• Set the InsertAtEnd property on the form data source to No.

• Set the StartPosition property on the form data source (to First or Last).

Example

The following example is from the run method in the PurchCreateOrder form. purchTable_ds is the variable for the PurchTable data source on the form.

    void run()
    {
        purchTable_ds.create();
        element.modifyForm();
     
        super();
    
         purchTable_ds.lookUpOrderAccount();
     
        if (!purchTableType)
        {
            element.close();
            throw Exception::Error;
        }
    }
