Activate Extension Conditionally doesn't return the expected value

Since the IsActive method is static, you are not able to invoke non-static methods such as the Base graph.

Using the SelectMulti method, you may need to define the actual database fields you want returned as arguments or it may always return null.

Here’s a good example that may help. This uses Database slots and a foreach loop around the PXDatabase.SelectMulti method to retrieve values from the database. This should give you an idea of how to accomplish what you need.

@mbridges00 thank you for the time. The issue is that I need to locate the Setup DAC Extension to retrieve my control fields from it, not from the standard setup DAC. Selecting fields from standard DAC will not help even if it returns a value.

I thought most screens referencing a setup table declare the setup as a view.

For instance: 

public class HCLAPInvoiceEntry : PXGraphExtension<APInvoiceEntry>
{
    pubic PXSetup<PreferencesGeneral> setup;

    public static bool IsActive()
    {        
        HCLSMPreferencesGeneral setupExt = setup.GetExtension<HCLSMPreferencesGeneral>();

        return (setupExt != null) ? setupExt.UsrHCLAPInvoiceApprovalWorkflow == HCLEPWorkflows.EnhancedWorkflow : false;
    }
}

Edit:

Ah, but it’s static. Ok, I get it.

@darylbowman thanks for the comment. Yes, I do have the setup in my public views but I do not think you can get the extension from the view using GetExtension method, or at least I do not know how.

@darylbowman  Sorry, I saw your edit later.
