Main Class Design Pattern [AX 2012]

Use the main class design pattern whenever a class is called from a menu item.

Do not call the main method explicitly from the code; call it implicitly it from a menu item.

The following list describes how to implement the main class design pattern:

• Instantiate the class by calling the static construct method.

• Call the prompt method to create a dialog box.

• If the user clicks OK in the dialog box, call the run method.

Most classes that have a main method are candidates to be implemented by the RunBase framework.

Tip
A code editor script can be used to create the main method. In code editor, press Alt + M to open the editor scripts menu, and then select template > method > main.
