Hello! I am working on this project where I want VDMList component to display only certain documents using dql. However, I am not able to override my code on the onInit method of the VDMList class. See code below:

public class CustomVDMList extends VDMList{

    public void onInit(ArgumentList args) {

         super.onInit(args);

         updateControl();

    }

     public void updateControl(){

          //my code here

     }

}

Please help! The approach I used on inbox list worked with updateDatagridControl() method, I tried all methods in the VDMList but so far no luck.

    I have found that certain WDK components are not extensible.  In this case, I had to create custom component by copying and modifying the original component code.

    I see. But how do we know if these classes are not extensible? Other than the fact that  overriding them does not work? I might have to do it the hard way (by creating custom components like you said). I will be posting my results. Thanks for the reply!
