This article is dedicated to my colleague Andrew Nearness
This example shows how to create a “Simple and create Detail – Tree” Form
This is the result we want to obtain
First create Extended data types
Al0VendorActivityId of type Int64
Al0VendorActivityName of type String
Al0VendorActivityHierarchyId of type Int64
Then create “Al0VendorActivity” table
Add these fields :
- VendorActivity
- VendorActivityName
- IsVendorActivity
- ParentVendorActivityId
- VendorActivityHierarchy
Insert a new field group, name it NameDescription and add “VendorActivityName” field inside
Add this code to the table
public class AL0VendorActivity extends common
{
//Al0_0270_VendorPortal - BEGIN
/// <summary>
/// Find by RecId
/// </summary>
public static AL0VendorActivity find(Al0VendorActivityId _al0VendorActivityId, boolean _forUpdate = false)
{
AL0VendorActivity aL0VendorActivity = null;
if (_al0VendorActivityId)
{
aL0VendorActivity.selectForUpdate(_forUpdate);
select firstonly * from aL0VendorActivity where aL0VendorActivity.RecId == _al0VendorActivityId;
}
return aL0VendorActivity;
}
//Al0_0270_VendorPortal - END
//Al0_0270_VendorPortal - BEGIN
/// <summary>
/// Give a default name to the tree node
/// </summary>
/// <param name = "_hierarchyRecId"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static Al0VendorActivityName findNonExistNameInHierarchy(Al0VendorActivityHierarchyId _hierarchyRecId)
{
return AL0VendorActivity::findNonExistByString(
tableNum(Al0vendorActivity),
fieldNum(Al0vendorActivity, VendorActivityHierarchy),
_hierarchyRecId,
fieldNum(Al0vendorActivity, vendorActivityName),
extendedTypeNum(Al0vendorActivityname),
"@SYS134268", "@SYS136676"
);
}
//Al0_0270_VendorPortal - END
//Al0_0270_VendorPortal - BEGIN
/// <summary>
/// Give a default name to the tree node
/// </summary>

/// <param name = "_strFieldType"></param>
/// <param name = "_strValueExactMatch"></param>
/// <param name = "_strValueFormatter"></param>
/// <param name = "_excludedRecId"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static str findNonExistByString(
tableId _tableId,
fieldId _matchingFieldId,
anytype _matchingFieldValue,
fieldId _strFieldId,
extendedTypeId _strFieldType,
str _strValueExactMatch,
str _strValueFormatter,
recId _excludedRecId = 0
)
{
DictTable dictTable = new DictTable(_tableId);
Common common = dictTable.makeRecord();
int idx = 0;
anytype result, firstStringValue;
int edtMaxLen = new DictType(_strFieldType).stringLen();
result = _strValueExactMatch;
do
{
select firstonly crossCompany common
where common.(_strFieldId) == result
&& common.(_matchingFieldId) == _matchingFieldValue
&& common.RecId != _excludedRecId
;
if (!common.RecId)
{
break;
}
// we must detect infinite loop:
if (1 == idx)
{
firstStringValue = common.(_strFieldId);
}
else if ((idx > 0) && (firstStringValue == common.(_strFieldId)))
{
throw error(
strFmt("@SYS330468",
_tableId, tableId2name(_tableId),
_matchingFieldId, fieldId2name(_tableId, _matchingFieldId), _matchingFieldValue,
_strFieldId, fieldId2name(_tableId, _strFieldId),
idx, firstStringValue
)
);
}
idx++;
result = strFmt(_strValueFormatter, idx);
// trim as necessary
if (strLen(result) > edtMaxLen)
{
result = subStr(result, 1, edtMaxLen);
}
}
while (true);
return result;
}
//Al0_0270_VendorPortal - END
}
Create a Form and apply the “Simple and create Detail – Tree”
Insert “ActivityLookup” group under “FormTreeGroupControl” and add a new Reference Group under it
Name it “ActivityFindReferenceGroup”
Override these 4 form methods
Now add this code to the Form class
[Form]
public class Al0VendorActivity extends FormRun
{
CCFormTreeDatasource treeDatasource;
/// <summary>
/// Run event
/// </summary>
public void run()

Tree,fieldnum(Al0VendorActivity,RecId),
fieldnum(Al0VendorActivity,ParentVendorActivityId),
fieldnum(Al0VendorActivity,VendorActivityname),
false, false
);
// Create First Record
treeDatasource.initRoot("@Al0AM:Al0_0270_VendorPortal_01",1,0);
}
