Sequence of Form's Methods in Dynamics AX

This gives the information of method calls in the form level while

1. Opening the Form.

2. Creating/Updating/Deleting the record in the Form.

3. Closing the Form.

Sequence of Methods calls while opening the Form

Form — init ()

Form — Datasource — init ()

Form — run ()

Form — Datasource — execute Query ()

Form — Datasource — active ()

Sequence of Methods calls while closing the Form

Form — canClose ()

Form — close ()

Sequence of Methods calls while creating the record in the Form

Form — Datasource — create ()

Form — Datasource — initValue ()

Table — initValue ()

Form — Datasource — active ()

Sequence of Method calls while saving the record in the Form

Form — Datasource — ValidateWrite ()

Table — ValidateWrite ()

Form — Datasource — write ()

Table — insert ()

Sequence of Method calls while deleting the record in the Form

Form — Datasource — validatedelete ()

Table — validatedelete ()

Table — delete ()

Form — Datasource — active ()

Sequence of Methods calls while modifying the fields in the Form

Table — validateField ()

Table — modifiedField ()

Macros in Dynamics AX X++

A macro is a variable known to the precompiler. The variable can have a value that is a sequence of characters, but it is not required to have a value. The #define directive tells the precompiler to create the macro variable, including an optional value. The #if directive tests whether the variable is defined, and optionally, whether it has a specific value.

The value of a macro variable can be written into the X++ code at any location, by giving the name of the macro with the # character added as a prefix.

All precompiler directives and symbols begin with the # character. All of the directives and symbols are handled and removed before the resulting X++ code is given to the X++ compiler.

Simple Macro example of defining  

static void SimpleDefineIfJob(Args _args)

{

    str sTest = "Initial value.";

    ;

    #define.MyMacro // MyMacro is now defined.

    #if.MyMacro

        sTest = "Yes, MyMacro is defined.";

        info(sTest);

    #endif

    // Notice the non-code sentence line causes no X++ compiler error,

    // because the X++ compiler never sees it.

    #ifnot.MyMacro

        The X++ compiler would reject this sentence.

        sTest = "No, MyMacro is not defined.";

        info(sTest);

    #endif
