Passing Multiple Records From One form to Another In Ax 2012

voidclicked()

{

    int         recordsCount;

    SalesTable  salesTable;

    container   con;

    Args        args;

    str         multiSelectString;

    args = newArgs();

    // gets the total records selected

    recordsCount = salesTable_ds.recordsMarked().lastIndex();

    salesTable= salesTable_ds.getFirst(1);

    while(salesTable)

    {

        // storing recid of selected record in container

        con = conIns(con,1, salesTable.RecId);

        // converting container to string with comma separated

        multiSelectString = con2Str(con,’,’);

        salesTable= SampleTable_ds.getNext(); // moves to next record

    }

   

    // passing string

    args.parm(multiSelectString);

    // calling menu item

    newMenuFunction(menuitemDisplayStr(NewFormMenuItem), MenuItemType::Display).run(args);

}

Now in the above method we have already prepared our args in a container and have passed that to a new form of menu item "NewFormMenuItem"

In order to retrieve passed arguments in the recipient from. Override the init() method of new form as shown

public void init()

{

    container   con;

    int         i;

    str         multipleRecords;

   

    super();

   

    // to get string value from caller

    multipleRecords = element.args().parm();

    // string to container

    con = str2con(multipleRecords,”,”);

    // for sorting

    for(i = 1;i<= conLen(con) ;i++)

    {

        salesTable_ds.query().dataSourceTable(Tablenum(SalesTable)).addRange(fieldNum(SalesTable,RecId)).value(SysQuery::value(conPeek(con,i)));

    }

}
