How to build a User List Lookup / Drop Down in AX 2009

User List Lookup / Drop Down

Step 1:Create a method in the form to get the user list lookup

void userListLookup(FormStringControl control)

{

    Args                args;

    MenuFunction        menuFunction;

    Object              formRun;

;

    args = new Args();

    menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuitemdisplaystr(WorkflowUserListLookup), MenuItemType::Display);

    args = new Args(menuFunction.object());

    args.caller(element);

    args.parm(control.text());

    formRun = ClassFactory::formRunClassOnClient(args);

    formRun.init();

    formRun.run();

    formRun.wait();

    if (formRun.closedOk())

    {

        control.text(formRun.parmTo());

        element.redraw();

    }

}

Step 2: Call the method in the lookup event of the EDT

public void lookup()

{

    element.userListLookup(this);

}

Alternative Method: Just select WorkflowUserListLookup as formhelp on your EDT
