Adding a field on dialog by addfield() method, when the type of EDT is known at run time, in Dynamics AX 2009

Possible situations when:

1.       EDT type is fixed and is known at design time.

public Object dialog()

{

            DialogRunbase       dialog = super();

;

            dlgTransDate                   = dialog.addField(typeid(CustAccount));

            return dialog;

}

       

         

2.     EDT Name is known in some situation.

public Object dialog()

{

    DialogRunbase dialog;

    Str                  edtName = “CustAccount”;

    ;

    dialog      = super();

    dialog.addField(new sysDictType(new Dictionary().typeName2Id(edtName)).extendedTypeId());

    return dialog;

}

3.     EDT Name is not known at design time, but is known at Run time from a table field.

public Object dialog()

{

    DialogRunbase           dialog;

    str                            edtName;

    dictField                    dictField;

    ;

    dialog            = super();

    dictField         = new DictField(tablenum(CustTable),fieldnum(CustTable, AccountNum));

    edtName       = extendedTypeId2name(dictField.typeId());
    //Get the EDT information from field of a table. Here Field AccountNum from table CustTable
    //has been taken for example.

    dialog.addField(new sysDictType(new dictionary().typeName2Id(edtName)).extendedTypeId());

    return dialog;

}

    if (dialog.run())

    {

        custAccount = df.value();

        if (CustTable::exist(custAccount))

        {

            info(strfmt("Customer account: %1", custAccount));

        }

        else
