I have added a Global Button with the following code.
public override void Initialize()
{
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Base.PrimaryView))
{
Type primaryViewItemType = Base.Views[Base.PrimaryView].Cache.GetItemType();
PXAction action = PXNamedAction.AddAction(Base, primaryViewItemType, "SubmitTicket", "Submit Ticket", TestClick);
}
}
public IEnumerable TestClick(PXAdapter adapter)
{
throw new PXException("Button clicked from graph" + Base.GetType().Name);
}
And it renders the button like this in each of the pages.
Now, I would like to display a popup panel, on button's click. I know I can create a popup panel on screen section. But, is there some way that I can have a general popup panel created in one place and can be displayed on each of the pages on the button's click?
Thank you.
As #HB_ACUMATICA mentioned there is no good easy way.
Providing another alternative to his post, you can create a graph and use it as a reusable popup by calling:
throw new PXPopupRedirectException(graph, string.Empty, true)
One thing I ran into was a sizing issue on the popup...
Changing the height/width when calling another graph as an in-page popup using PXPopupRedirectException
If you do copy and paste the PXSmartPanel you can create re-usable business logic by implementing the reusable business logic pattern found in this help as a starting point:
Reusing Business Logic
If I understand correctly you want to share the same PXSmartPanel control in different pages without having to copy/paste it in every screen.
In Acumatica Framework this is achieve by custom container controls like 'PXUploadDialog' which derives functionality from other controls like 'PXSmartPanel'. This is the control that is used when you attach files in all screen.
Unfortunately there seems to be no documentation on how to achieve this.
The closest I found is this SO question which is essentially unanswered:
Create custom User Control for Acumatica
Considering this, you may want to copy/paste the same smart panel in all screen.
To ease copying you can use the 'Edit ASPX' feature, make sure you backup the project before.
Edit ASPX to get to the code:
Copy paste your smart panel in the page and click 'GENERATE CUSTOMIZATION SCRIPT' to package the changes in the project:

I am trying to create a popup message in the Backoffice PCM. In particular, from within the editor area of a product. From the editor a user can click on the assortment view or compare view buttons on the side toolbar to change screens (redirect).
I want to give the user a popup to inform them that any changes will be lost.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
I have tried to create my own widget and wiring my custom widget to the ootb pcmbackoffice-toolbar but have not been successful.
It's possible to display a simple popup via the ZK framework (the framework used by Backoffice). From the backoffice code you can open a popup like this:
import org.zkoss.zul.Messagebox;
public void someMethod() {
// do some actions...
Messagebox.show("Some Messagetext", "Info", Messagebox.OK, Messagebox.INFO);
}
I need to handle multiple panels, containing variuous data masks. Each panel shall be visible using a TreeView control.
At this time, I handle the panels visibility manually, by making the selected one visible and bring it on top.
Actually this is not much confortable, especially in the UI designer, since when I add a brand new panel I have to resize every panel and then design it...
A good solution would be using a TabControl, and each panel is contained in a TabPage. But I cannot find any way to hide the TabControl buttons, since I already have a TreeView for selecting items.
Another solution would be an ipotethic "StackPanelControl", where the Panels are arranged using a stack, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
What's the best solution to handle this kind of UI?
You need a wee bit of Win32 API magic. The tab control sends the TCM_ADJUSTRECT message to allow the app to adjust the tab size. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto your form.
You'll get the tabs at design time so you can easily switch between pages. The tabs are hidden at runtime, use the SelectedIndex or SelectedTab property to switch between "views".
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class StackPanel : TabControl {
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
// Hide tabs by trapping the TCM_ADJUSTRECT message
if (m.Msg == 0x1328 && !DesignMode) m.Result = (IntPtr)1;
else base.WndProc(ref m);
}
}
A good solution would be using a TabControl, and each panel is contained in a TabPage.
But I cannot find any way to hide the TabControl buttons, since I already have a
TreeView for selecting items.
For the above,
You need to set the following properties of TabControl.
tabControl.Multiline = true;
tabControl.Appearance = TabAppearance.Buttons;
tabControl.ItemSize = new System.Drawing.Size(0, 1);
tabControl.SizeMode = TabSizeMode.Fixed;
tabControl.TabStop = false;
I have my account entity linked to a custom entity called inspections, I only want these inspections to be created for accounts of a certain type. So when it isn't that type I want the left hand navigation to this entity to be hidden away. I've seen some code that says will hide it away, as long as you have the navID of the item.
I've had a crack at hiding it using what i thought could be the ID but it hasn't worked, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get this ID, or if there is another way to do this?
The code I'm using to hide the navigation is below:
var navitem = Xrm.Page.ui.navigation.items.get("nav_ts_inspection");
if (navitem != null)
{
navitem.setVisible(false);
}
Load the form
Press F12 to show IE Developer's Toolbar
From here you can use CTRL+F to search for the display name of the item you'd like to hide. This will give you a link that is generated. The Id of this element is what you need to use to show/hide the link.
As an example, you can see results of searching for 'Sub Accounts' on the Account screen for an installation I am working on at the moment. The Id can be seen and is 'navSubAct'
Changes by traversing DOM and manually hide an area is not officially supported.
Luckily if you are on CRM 2011, you can go to
Settings > Customization Or open the solution.
Select the entity > Forms. Inside the Form editor window, open the Form Properties of the entity.
Go to Display Tab and untick "Show navigation items" checkbox.
Finally do not forget to Publish your changes.
Use the relationshipname to hide folder in navigation like this:
If you have folder with the relationship name: ts_inspection
Use this for ID: navts_inspection
So otherwise the same as above, but lose the extra underscore (_) between nav and ts.
var navitem = Xrm.Page.ui.navigation.items.get("navts_inspection");
If you want to hide particular navigation section from the FORM then remove all the links from that section and publish it. That section will not be visible anymore.
If you want to just remove Navigation Pane from FORM, then go to 'Display' tab of form and mark as 'Do Not Show' and then publish it.
I am trying to do this:
public class DialogMenuHawaii extends Dialog {
Style s = UiFactory.getBaseStyle();
s.setBgTransparency(0);
s.setBgImage( <my image >);
this.setUnselectedStyle(s);
}
but it doesn't work.
First, I suggest you use a theme. We constantly change small implementation details e.g. customizations like the one you are doing will not be portable between LWUIT 1.4 and 1.5. There is no reason whatsoever not to use a theme for something like this.
If you are interested in the pain and suffering of manually coding view logic into your application you can use several methods such as getDialogComponent() to get the style from them and manipulate that. Dialog is a complex beast due to the fact that its really a form padded away from the edges.
Open your '.res' file in resource Editor and select your preferred theme,
Under 'Unselected' tab open the DialogContentPane style, if you don't have one create it look at the end of this answer on HOW TO DO IT?, and set the background image to the image you need to show as Dialog bg
Under 'Unselected' tab open the DialogBody style, if you don't have one create it look at the end of this answer on HOW TO DO IT?, and set the background transparency as '0' and also make sure the background image type is NONE
NOTE: The above code will reflect for all the Dialogs in your application. If you want a particular dialog with background image than derive new styles from these default styles, and follow the above steps to apply it to your DialogMenuHawaii or any runtime Dialogs.
HOW TO: I would recommend you to go through the Shai's blog posts LWUIT Resource Editor Tutorial Part 1 till part 10. To better understand the Resouce Editor its features and capabilities.

PS: Programmatic-ally i haven't been able to achieve it using TextArea which is the case for default Dialog's. If you replace the dialog body component with Label if works fine, the code sample is given below. I haven't delved much into why is it so ? maybe will do it in my free time. Hence i have proposed a working alternative solution which is scripted above using Resource Editor and below using the code
class MyDialog extends Dialog {
public void show() {
Container octnPane = this.getDialogComponent();
octnPane.getUnselectedStyle().setBgTransparency(0, false);
Container ctnPane = (Container)((BorderLayout)octnPane.getLayout()).getCenter();
ctnPane.getUnselectedStyle().setBackgroundType(Style.BACKGROUND_IMAGE_SCALED, false);
ctnPane.getUnselectedStyle().setBgImage(myImage, false);
Label t = new Label("Dialog");
t.setUIID("DialogBody");
t.getUnselectedStyle().setBgTransparency(0, false);
ctnPane.addComponent(t);
super.show();
}
}
This is for Dialog background.
Dialog dialog = new Dialog();
dialog.getDialogStyle().setBgImage(Image.createImage("/image/image.png"));
If you want to set transparency of Dialog with image.
dialog.getStyle().setBgImage(Image.createImage("/image/image.png");
I'm a C# programmer dabbling in a bit of iPhone development using MonoTouch.
I add a new View Interface Definition to my project and double click to open it up in Interface Builder. I add a UIButton. I save the file, and inspect the xib.designer.cs file, and I can see no reference to the new button.
I downloaded the code from http://monotouchexamples.com/ where I could see an example of autogenerated code behind :
[MonoTouch.Foundation.Connect("infoButton")]
private MonoTouch.UIKit.UIButton infoButton {
get {
return ((MonoTouch.UIKit.UIButton)(this.GetNativeField("infoButton")));
}
set {
this.SetNativeField("infoButton", value);
}
}
I opened up MainWindow.xib in interface builder. I notice a few differences. File's Owner is of type UIApplication instead of NSObject. What is the importance of this? There is an App Delegate object of type AppDelegate. I can't add an AppDelegate to my own view, or at least I can't find it in the Library. Do I need to add one? I can see that the existing controls on MainWindow.xib have Referencing Outlets to the App Delegate. I add a new button and I want to hook it up. When I click and drag a New Referencing Outlet to the App Delegate a context menu appears that lists the existing controls. How do I add a new element to this list, or where does this list come from?
I've been spoilt by the Visual Studio world where I just dump a button on a form and start writing code for the click event. Could someone provide some pointers about the steps needed to get this working on MonoTouch?
Thanks,
Patrick
Adding a button by itself is not enough. The button is not accessible outside the Interface Builder. You need add an Outlet, and connect the button with the outlet in Interface Builder.
Remember: Outlets are the members in your Controller class that get a reference to the controls, you can't just access the controls without them.
As Dave says, you need to add an outlet to your controller class, and connect your button to that outlet, before any auto-generated code will appear. This caught me out too initially.
You choose your controller class in the Interface Builder library window, choose 'outlets' in the bottom part of the library, and add an outlet there. You then need to select your button, choose the connections tab of the inspector window, and drag from the "New referencing outlet" circle over to your controller class. Interface Builder will then prompt you to choose an outlet to connect to. Then when you save, you should get the auto-generated code appear in the .xib.designer.cs file, and then you should be able to reference your button via that outlet variable in your .xib.cs file.
It sounds like the project I created is out of date - I remember there were quite a few changes around how the generated buttons are created in the designer file. I will update the project soon for you.
As Dave said, to get the code to be auto generated you need to add an outlet with Interface Builder. There should be an example on this video here - http://bit.ly/aWoItN but the server seems to be down at the moment.
Hope this helps,
