Drop down controls are data aware controls.\u00a0 It displays the choices for selection.\u00a0 Say for e.g.; Document Type under I\/C Transfers screen displays a choice for document types i.e.; Transfer, Transit Transfer and Transit Receipt.\u00a0 These choices are referred as presentation items and are stored in database.
\nSay if you have a requirement where you want to restrict certain presentation items for certain users or you do not want a particular presentation item to appear in the list then you can achieve this with a simple customization without affecting the database structure.
\nThis blog provides technical guidelines for customizing the behavior of drop-down controls.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0– Transit Transfer and Transit Receipt in GreyMatrix for Sage 300 ERP<\/a> –<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take an example of I\/C Transfer screen. \u00a0Here we want to remove \u201cTransfer\u201d presentation item (choice) from Document Type drop down.
\n\"2\"<\/a>
\nCustomize I\/C Transfer screen and follow below code snippet:
\nDefine the custom fields in general declaration section:
\n<SNIP>
\n\u2018Custom fields control for removing the options
\nPrivate WithEvents customFecDocType As AccpacCustomField
\n\u2018Custom presentation string
\nPrivate CustomPresentationStr_DocType As IAccpacCustomFieldPresentsStrings
\n<\/SNIP>
\n\u2018Implement the option removing code in OnUIAppOpened sub procedure
\n<SNIP>
\nPrivate Sub AccpacIC3410UICtrl1_OnUIAppOpened ()
\nOn Error Go To ErrorHandler
\n\u2018Removing the option from control
\n<\/span>\u00a0Set customFecDocType = New AccpacCustomField
\n\u2018Initialize the custom field with the document type field
\ncustomFecDocType.InitFromField dsICTREH.Fields.FieldByID(“15”)
\nWith customFecDocType
\n<\/span>Set CustomPresentationStr_DocType = .PresentationStrings
\n\u2018remove the option which you need to remove from combo box \u201ctransfer\u201d
\nCustomPresentationStr_DocType.RemoveByValue 1
\n‘set defualt value to \u201ctransfer\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0CustomPresentationStr_DocType.SetFieldValue 1
\nEnd With ‘with customFecDocType
\n\u2018set doc type control with the custom control in which we have removed the option
\nSet afecDoctype.AccpacField = customFecDocType
\n\u2018Removing the option from control
\nErrorHandler:<\/span>
\nErrorHandler (\u201cAccpacIC3410UICtrl1_OnUIAppOpened\u201d)
\nEnd Sub
\n<\/SNIP>
\nAfter implementing the customization; \u201cTransfer\u201d option will be removed from Document Type drop down.<\/span>
