Is it possible to extend a PXLongOperation?

​@darylbowman can you just put your additional processing in the end of the existing LongOperation instead? 

The current situation looks like this:

Original code:

public virtual IEnumerable release(PXAdapter adapter)
{
    PXLongOperation.StartOperation(this, delegate()
    {
        ReleaseProcess(graph, doc);
    });
    // Need my code to run here because I can't extend ReleaseProcess
    //   but PXLongOperation must be finished first
}

protected static void ReleaseProcess(PXGraph graph, Document doc)
{

}

The best I’ve come up with is this:

public delegate IEnumerable releaseDelegate(PXAdapter adapter);  
[PXOverride]
public virtual IEnumerable release(PXAdapter adapter, releaseDelegate baseMethod)
{
    DateTime? releaseDate = View.Current?.ReleaseDate;

    var result = baseMethod(adapter);

    // But this breaks the operation indicator
    PXLongOperation.WaitCompletion(Base.UID);

    var newGraph = PXGraph.CreateInstance<MyGraph>();
    doc = newGraph.View.Current = newGraph.View.Search<Doc.orderNbr>(doc?.OrderNbr);
    if (doc is object)
    {
        newGraph.View.SetValueExt<Doc.dateReleased>(doc, releaseDate);
        newGraph.View.Update(doc);
        newGraph.Actions.PressSave();
    }

    return result;
}

​@darylbowman well, there is probably some part inside ReleaseProcess that you can override. We usually make sure release is easy to piggyback on. 

But also, you can just call the ReleaseProcess from your override instead of calling the baseMethod.

I got errors doing that because it’s protected.

The method is static. A static member cannot be marked as abstract.

This I did NOT know. Extremely helpful. I think this might work.

Got it. Thank you!
