Records with RecId 101090
I was using the postload method of the HRMBenefitType-table to fill the description-field with language-sensitive description (from LanguageTxt).

What some developers don’t know is that project-groups have a property GroupMask. Here you can fill in a … Continue Reading

One of my colleagues (Koen Dedecker) was looking for a way to prevent user interaction with other forms while a certain dialog is shown. After some research he found the solution on the blog Dynamics AX tools and tutorials from Vanya Kashperuk. A few years ago (2007) he made a simple extension of the dialog class … Continue Reading
