Not getting selected item in search dialog box

Hello,

Could you provide some more details on what you're ultimately trying to accomplish? Also, could you let us know what version of Aras Innovator you are using?

Hello,

I am using Version: 11.0 SP14 of ARAS.

I have a method at OnBeforeNew client event of Realtionship. To add a relationship item, a search dialog box is opening. I want to get the details of the selected item in search dialog box. let me remind that the event is ONBeforeNew.

Could you also elaborate on what you want to do with the details of the selected item once you have them? For example, are you trying to do some validation so that the user can only add certain items as a relationship?

Chris

Once I have the item I need to check that the selected item should not be present in any other Document relationship of Part. If it is not present anywhere else then only I sholud allow it to attach in the Document relationship.

I am also working on similar use case. Any solutions for the above mentioned use case.

Hi 

Not sure your use case is getting the selected item in search dialog or not allowing user to select the document if it is used in any other parts. 

If second is the use case, you can add custom search filter while opening the search dialog

My use case is getting selected Documents data ( Such as Doc No, id) in the Search Pop up dailog in a client method which is hooked to OnBeforeNew Client events of the Part Document Relationship Itemtype. 

After getting the data, i will add some validation code.

var documentItems = aras.itemsCache.getItemsByXPath("//Item[@type='Document']");
for (var i = 0; i < documentItems.length; i++)
{
var documentId = documentItems[i].id;
var inn = this.getInnovator();
var documentItem = inn.newItem('Document','get');
documentItem.setID(documentId);
documentItem = documentItem.apply();
if(documentItem.isError())
{
return aras.AlertError(documentItem.getErrorString());
}
if(documentItem.getProperty("state") == "Preliminary")
{
aras.AlertError("Preliminary cannot be added.");
return false;
}
}
