FormDialog display some specific fields from Model class Bot framework

Question

I want to display a DialogForm in my RootDialog. I've tried to do it by doing like calling forms from dialogs. However, my problem here is I have a model class generated by Entity Framework which contains some fields about primary key (or Foreign key) that I don't want my client to enter input for it. So my question is how can I make a DialogForm that just ask my clients to enter the fields that I want to? Here's my Model class:

[Serializable]
public partial class BOT_CUSTOMERINFO
{

    public int CUSTOMER_ID { get; set; }

    public Nullable<int> DOMAIN_ID { get; set; }
    public string NAME { get; set; }
    public string EMAIL { get; set; }
    public string PHONE { get; set; }

    public Nullable<int> RECORD_STATUS { get; set; }

    public static IForm<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO> BuildForm()
    {

        return new FormBuilder<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>()
            .Message("Vui lòng cung cấp thông tin")
            .Field(nameof(NAME))
            .Field(nameof(EMAIL))
            .Field(nameof(PHONE))
            .Field(new FieldReflector<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>(nameof(CUSTOMER_ID)).SetActive((state) => false))
            .Build();

    }

}

And hence what I've used to call FormDialog:

private BuildFormDelegate<Models.FormDialog_Models.CustomerInfoFormModel> MakeCustomerInfoForm;

    internal void CustomerInfoDialog(BuildFormDelegate<Models.BOT_CUSTOMERINFO> makeCustomerInfoForm)
    {

        this.MakeCustomerInfoForm = makeCustomerInfoForm;

    }
    public async Task ResumeAfterChooseQuestion(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<BOT_QUESTION> result)
    {
        var value = await result;
        if(value != null)
        {
            BotDBEntities DbContext = new BotDBEntities();
            if(DbContext.BOT_ANSWER.Any(answer => answer.QUESTION_ID == value.QUESTION_ID))
            {
                List<BOT_ANSWER> ListAnswer = DbContext.BOT_ANSWER.Where(answer => answer.QUESTION_ID == value.QUESTION_ID).ToList();
                await ShowListAnswer(context, ListAnswer);
                //PromptDialog.Choice(context, this.ResumeAfterChooseAnswer,ListAnswer, "Click để chọn:", "Không hợp lệ", 3, PromptStyle.Auto);
            }
            if(DbContext.BOT_QUESTION.Any(question => question.PREVQUESTION_ID == value.QUESTION_ID))
            {
                List<BOT_QUESTION> ListQuestion = DbContext.BOT_QUESTION.Where(question => question.PREVQUESTION_ID == value.QUESTION_ID).ToList();
                await this.ShowListQuestion(context, ListQuestion);
            }
            if(value.QUESTION_TYPE.Value == 1)
            {
                var customerInfoForm = new FormDialog<Models.BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>(new Models.BOT_CUSTOMERINFO(), MakeCustomerInfoForm, FormOptions.PromptInStart);

                context.Call(customerInfoForm, CustomerInfoFormCompleted);
                // var customerInfoForm = new FormDialog<Models.FormDialog_Models.CustomerInfoFormModel>(new Models.FormDialog_Models.CustomerInfoFormModel(),MakeCustomerInfoForm, FormOptions.PromptInStart);
                // context.Forward(customerInfoForm, CustomerInfoFormCompleted);
                // context.Call(customerInfoForm, CustomerInfoFormCompleted);
                //context.Call<Idia<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>>(BOT_CUSTOMERINFO.BuildForm(), CustomerInfoFormCompleted);
            }

        }
        else
        {

            context.Wait(this.MessageReceiveAsync);
        }

    }

In the declaration of your FormBuilder<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO> you can deactivate those fields, using the Advanced.Field.SetActive.

new FormBuilder<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>
.Field(new FieldReflector<BOT_CUSTOMERINFO>(nameof(CUSTOMER_ID))
      .SetActive((state) => false);

So I have to create a BuildForm method in my Model class and set Deactive and finally it will be done automatically when I create it by call context.Call() method ? – Justin Van Mar 09 '17 at 13:01
In your model or in any other place; it doesn't matter. Yes it should work this way, – Ezequiel Jadib Mar 09 '17 at 13:06
Actually, I've added this line of code to my BOT_CUSTOMERINFO class but it didn't work – Justin Van Mar 09 '17 at 13:25
Post the full code; otherwise it's hard to know what's wrong. I know this works as it's being used in many places – Ezequiel Jadib Mar 09 '17 at 13:31
But... the FormFlow is being created with a different model... CustomerInfoFormModel. If you are using a different model, then you need to deactivate the fields in that model and not in the BOT_CUSTOMERINFO. – Ezequiel Jadib Mar 09 '17 at 13:44
It still display the CUSTOMER_ID field in the emulator. I've just replaced the wrong code. – Justin Van Mar 09 '17 at 14:04
I've made it just like the PizzaBot Sample did – Justin Van Mar 09 '17 at 14:11
BOT_CUSTOMERINFO class: https://codepaste.net/hucurn Create FormDialog method: https://codepaste.net/d7ak2q – Justin Van Mar 09 '17 at 14:20
Code looks good to me... so the Form is asking you to fill the customer id? – Ezequiel Jadib Mar 09 '17 at 14:35
yes, notice that i'm creating FormDialog in a Dialog Class – Justin Van Mar 09 '17 at 15:26
shouldn't be an issue – Ezequiel Jadib Mar 09 '17 at 15:49
It would be great if you can create a Minimal, Complete, Verifiable sample and uploaded somewhere so it can be downloaded and debugged. – Ezequiel Jadib Mar 09 '17 at 15:50
can we have a private chat? – Justin Van Mar 09 '17 at 15:56

I've noticed that when I set the breakpoint to the BuildForm method, it absolutely didn't invoke – Justin Van Mar 10 '17 at 04:16
It's because you are using MakeCustomerInfo instead of the BuildForm method – Ezequiel Jadib Mar 10 '17 at 09:16
well, so how can we change it ? – Justin Van Mar 10 '17 at 09:30
var customerInfoForm = new FormDialog(new Models.BOT_CUSTOMERINFO(), BOT_CUSTOMERINFO.BuildForm, FormOptions.PromptInStart); – Ezequiel Jadib Mar 10 '17 at 09:36
Finally, that solves my problem. Thanks for supporting me! – Justin Van Mar 10 '17 at 09:42
