If you need a so called AX-class can use the class AxGenerateAxBCClass.

Simply call this class in the AOT by right clicking and follow the wizard or use following job:

static void generateAXTableClass(Args _args)
{
    AxGenerateAxBCClass axGenerateAxBCClass;
    
    axGenerateAxBCClass = new AxGenerateAxBCClass();
    axGenerateAxBCClass.parmTableId(tableNum(MyNewTable));
    axGenerateAxBCClass.run();
}

A that way generated class must be modified sometimes, but using the wizard is much faster than creating the class manually.

If the table changes, for example when adding new fields, you simply call that AxGenerateAxBCClass again and the AX

-class will be extended accordingly.

How to use such AX

-classes, i've described here.

Here is an example of how you can add contact information data to an existing entry in the global address book.

static void createPartyContactInfo(Args _args)
{
    DirPartyTable dirPartyTable = DirPartyTable::findByNum(??"100000");
    DirParty dirParty;
    DirPartyContactInfoView dirPartyContactInfoView;

    // Edit Global address book
    dirParty = DirParty::constructFromCommon(dirPartyTable, DirUtility::getCurrentDateTime(), DirPartyType::Organization);

    // Create contact info
    dirPartyContactInfoView.LocationName    ='Office';
    dirPartyContactInfoView.Locator         ='+43 1 4654646';
    dirPartyContactInfoView.Type            = LogisticsElectronicAddressMethodType::Phone;
    dirPartyContactInfoView.IsPrimary       = NoYes::Yes;

    dirParty.createOrUpdateContactInfo(dirPartyContactInfoView);
}

Such a created entry will look like this:

To browse the AOT for particular objects, you can use the TreeNode class. I've already posted some examples in the past.

In Dynamics AX 2012, a new option has been added, and although there are now some tables that begin with SysModel*. You can also use these tables to browse the AOT objects/properties.

An example of such a query is the following job, which returns (unsorted) all objects that have been modified in the current layer.

Using the following code you will be able to create a BOM through code.

In have already described how you can integrate your own form as a dialog within the SysOperation framework. Meanwhile, I've encountered a much simpler version:

• Create a copy of form SysOperationTemplateForm
• Overwrite method templateForm() like the following snippet shows

If you need to check the access rights of the current user for a MenuItem, the following snippet can give you an example.

The following code opens form VendTable in grid and modifies the query of the form. In the example three specific vendors should be shown.

The form opened by above job may look similar to the following screenshot:
