Add element of enum PaymentTypes

[DannyC]

Currently there are 2 values in JiwaCreditorChqPay.CreditorChequePayment.PaymentTypes
namely Cheque and EFT.
I want to add another, BPay.

How can I do that?

In short I don't believe you can as an enum is a declared and compiled type, below is its declaration, but what are you actually trying to achieve as there might be another way?

Code: Select all

Public Enum PaymentTypes
        Cheque = 0
        EFT = 1
    End Enum

So I guess I want it to be something like

Code: Select all

Public Enum PaymentTypes
        Cheque = 0
        EFT = 1
        BPay = 2
    End Enum

Well I don't believe you can, and technically BPay is an EFT at any rate.

The only other suggestion I can make to you is add a check box to the screen that can only be checked when EFT is picked and store the data in a custom field if available(I don't think it is) or add a table that links to the primary key of the business object and has a bit field called BPay. You would then need code on the events Read End, Created, Copy and Save Ending to do the necessary CRUD operations, you can use a cascading delete if the screen allows for delete to do the delete.
