var inn = this.newInnovator()
var myItem = this; // passed with Action
return aras.AlertError("This is " + this.getProperty("name"));
For a Form button onClick this will work:
var myItem = parent.thisItem; // form call
return aras.AlertError("This is " + myItem.getProperty("name"));
CUI elements seem to need an additional call for the Item
var id;
var topWindow = aras.getMostTopWindowWithAras(window);
if (topWindow.work && topWindow.work.grid)
{
// in case Method is triggered from Main-Window-
var workFrame = topWindow.work;
id = workFrame.grid.getSelectedID();
}
else
{
// in case Method is triggered from Tearoff Window
id = thisItem.getID();
}
var myItem = inn.getItemById("/*Itemtype*/", id);
return aras.AlertError("This is " + myItem.getProperty("name"));
Form and Actions can be unified in one Method this way:
var myItem;
if (parent.thisItem === undefined){
myItem = this; // Action call
}
else
{
myItem = parent.thisItem; // form call
}
return aras.AlertError(myItem.getProperty("name"));
But I wonder if it´s possible to extend this construct to CUI elements? Background: I have a few Actions, that I want to move to CUI elements. But I don´t want to change anything adhoc. So I would prefer to have more flexible Methods that I can reuse more easily. Thx!
