Add a Menu Item to a SysOperation dialog

16 July, 2020 2 Mins Read

A short one! Some time ago I explained how to add a multi selection lookup to a SysOperation dialog and in this post I’ll explain how to add a Menu Item as a Function button to the SysOperation dialog.

Before the SysOperation Framework was introduced in AX2012, we used the RunBase Framework, and maybe doing these things looked easier/quickier with RunBase because all the logic was in a single class. But in the end what we need to do is practically the same but we have to do it in the UIBuilder class.

Let me show you and explain all the code. I’ll only show the DataContract and UIBuilder classes as they’re the only important ones in this case.

Add multi selection lookup to a SysOperation Framework dialog

First 2020 post! Happy new year! Yes, I know it’s already past mid January…

When you add a field to a SysOperation Framework Data Contract the lookup that the framework creates (if the EDT has a lookup) is a simple, single select lookup. Let’s see how to create a multi select lookup in MSDyn365FO.

The SysOperation Framework and MVC

But first of all a bit of an introduction! The SysOperation Framework was introduced in Dynamics AX 2012 to replace the RunBase Framework, and is used to create processes that will be run by the batch server. The RunBase classes are still around in Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. Some standard processes still use it while others use it to later call a SysOperations Framework class.
