Retrieve Order in Observer

Question

I have created an observer that hooks into the controller_action_predispatch_adminhtml_sales_order_view event. In this observer I want to set the order's hasForcedCanCreditmemo to TRUE.

I am unsure how to retrieve the order, though - I can't see anywhere that the order ID is being passed through.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I would get the order?

Thanks!

In your observer class you can do the following:

public function changeOrder(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
    $orderId = $observer->getControllerAction()->getRequest()->getParam('order_id');
    $order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($orderId);
}

Thus, you will have your order available in the $order variable.
