How To enter filename when modifying the request form of a dataport?

Author: Luc Van Dyck

When creating a dataport using the wizard, the request form contains the controls "File Name" and "Direction". In design-mode, the request form is empty, so these controls are added by Navision at run-time.

When controls are added to the request form, you loose the ability to choose a filename for the dataport.

Steps to add the filename control

Define a global variable txtFilename of type Text[250]
Place a Label and TextBox control on the request form
Modify the following properties of the TextBox control:
  ID: 1
  Caption: File Name
  SourceExpr: txtFilename
  AssistEdit: Yes
Modify the following property of the Label control:
ParentControl: 1
Put this code in the OnPreDataport-trigger: CurrDataport.FILENAME := txtFilename;

Note: It is essential that the ID of the TextBox control is set to 1. Otherwise, you can't browse for the file when pressing the AssistEdit button.
