How To Make Dynamic List With Check Boxes In Acumatica

Hello everybody,

today I want to share with you a piece of code, with help of which you can get list of all activer order types in Acumatica and also you'll get a chance to select those types with checkbox. Take a look on a screenshot below:

how to achieve this?

Code below without description of DAC class gives you this:

protected virtual void _(Events.FieldSelecting<SetupClass, SetupClass.orderTypes> e)
{
    if (e.Row == null)
    {
        return;
    }
 
    var orderTypes = SelectFrom<SOOrderType>.Where<SOOrderType.active.IsEqual<True>>.View.Select(this).Select(a => a.GetItem<SOOrderType>())
        .ToList();
    var allowedValues = orderTypes.Select(a => a.OrderType).ToArray();
    var allowedLabels = orderTypes.Select(a => a.Descr).ToArray();
 
    var returnState = PXStringState.CreateInstance(e.ReturnValue, allowedLabels.Length, true,
        typeof(SetupClass.orderTypes).Name,
        false, -1, string.Empty, allowedValues, allowedLabels, false, null);
    (returnState as PXStringState).MultiSelect = true;
    e.ReturnState = returnState;
}

On aspx level, it look trivial:

<px:PXDropDown ID="PXDropDown1" runat="server" DataField="OrderTypes" CommitChanges="true" />

With help of this code, you'll get list of all order types, which you'll be able to persist in database.
