How to invoke a menu item from code in AX 2012

Question

I have some custom code in PurchTable "Register" menuitem's clicked method, Now I need to run the Register command from code after a buttons function has been perfomed.

My question is that how can I call the Register command from code ?

Answer 1

I see that you're actually trying to execute the clicked() method, but if you want to execute a Menu Item through code, you can do the following:

new MenuFunction(menuItemDisplayStr(MyDisplayMenuItem), MenuItemType::Display).run();

Of course the code above may be changed to execute different kinds of Menu Items, for example, the code below runs an Output Menu Item:

new MenuFunction(menuItemOutputStr(MyOutputMenuItem), MenuItemType::Output).run();

And if you need any argument on the Menu Item you're trying to execute, you can pass it with the Args class:

Args args = new Args();

args.record(myArgumentRecord);

args.caller(this);

new MenuFunction(menuItemOutputStr(MyOutputMenuItem), MenuItemType::Output).run(args);
