Replace a checkbox by a Yes/No dropdown box in Acumatica - acumatica

Question

Good day
I have a checkbox on my shipment page called Special Labels.
The client wants the field to display as a Yes/No dropdown box or something in that line.
Is this possible?

Answer 1

I think you could handle this a couple of ways:
Option 1 (PXDropdown):
Create a string field for a Yes/No dropdown and use its value to set your boolean field:
#region ActiveString
public abstract class activeString : PX.Data.IBqlField
{
}
[PXString]
[PXDefault("false")]
[YesNo.List()]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Active")]
public virtual string ActiveString { get; set; }
#endregion
#region Active
public abstract class active : PX.Data.IBqlField
{
}
[PXDBBool]
[PXDefault(true)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Active", Visible = false, Enabled = false)]
public virtual bool? Active {
get { return Convert.ToBoolean(this.ActiveString ?? "false"); }
set { value = Convert.ToBoolean(this.ActiveString ?? "false"); }
}
#endregion
The dropdown ASPX markup:
<px:PXDropdown ID="edActive" runat="server"
DataField="ActiveString" Size="XS" >
<AutoCallBack Command="Save" Target="form">
</AutoCallBack>
</px:PXDropdown>
Option 2 (PXSelector):
Create a small table in the database for a selector, such as:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[UsrTrueFalse]
(
[BoolValue] bit NOT NULL,
[TextValue] [varchar](3) NOT NULL
)
and create a DAC over the table:
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
public class UsrTrueFalse : IBqlTable
{
#region BoolValue
public abstract class boolValue : PX.Data.IBqlField
{
}
[PXDBBool]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Bool Value")]
public virtual bool? BoolValue { get; set; }
#endregion
#region TextValue
public abstract class textValue : PX.Data.IBqlField
{
}
[PXDBString(3)]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Text Value")]
public virtual string TextValue { get; set; }
#endregion
}
and then add a PXSelector attribute on your boolean field:
#region Active
public abstract class active : PX.Data.IBqlField
{
}
[PXDBBool]
[PXDefault(true)]
[PXSelector(typeof(Search<UsrTrueFalse.boolValue>),
DescriptionField = typeof(UsrTrueFalse.textValue))]
[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Active")]
public virtual bool? Active { get; set; }
#endregion
The PXSelector ASPX markup:
<px:PXSelector ID="edActive" runat="server" DataField="Active" DataSourceID="ds" Size="XS" DisplayMode="Text">
<AutoCallBack Command="Save" Target="form">
</AutoCallBack>
</px:PXSelector>
