Purchase Order Shipping Address Spare Fields

[Nina Tulic]

Hi,

Can the spare field labels on the shipping address tab in the purchase order form be renamed?

What is the property name to access the spare label captions?


Thanks
Nina

Hi Nina,

Yes - they can be changed. Those fields are actually columns in a grid control on the form - The grid is called ShippingAddressJiwaGrid, and the column is named "Field" and you're interested in rows 9 through 13.

In a plugin, you can set these field captions by doing something like this in the Setup method of the FormPlugin class:

Code: Select all

Public Sub Setup(ByVal JiwaForm As JiwaApplication.IJiwaForm, ByVal Plugin As JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin) Implements JiwaApplication.IJiwaFormPlugin.Setup
   Dim purchaseOrderForm As JiwaPurchaseOrdersUI.MainForm = JiwaForm
   
   With purchaseOrderForm.ShippingAddressJiwaGrid
      .GridText("Field", 9) = "aaa"
      .GridText("Field", 10) = "bbb"
      .GridText("Field", 11) = "ccc"
      .GridText("Field", 12) = "ddd"
      .GridText("Field", 13) = "eee"
   End With
End Sub

Attached is a working sample plugin which incorporates the above.

FYI - You can see the names of controls on a form by opening the form and going to "Set Permissions" on the "Utilities" ribbon tab. Then, clicking on any control on the form reveals the name of the control in the "Currently Selected Item" field on the "Set Permissions" window.
