NAV Integration to Notepad

NAV Integration to Notepad
Make it easier to enter text in the comment line tables by opening an external text editor. In a text editor you are not limited by the record length of the comment line. The object is prepared to open the Notepad editor, but you can use any text editor that will return a text file. Refer to the information in the documentation part of the object to see the easy implementation of the object.

Is this just like Waldopad?

Anders_Pahuus

I have not tried to download the Waldopad. As I read from the download information it's more or less the same. The Notepad integration does though not include DLL's. You will though have to inlcude 2 lines of code to call the function for each of the comment line tables. Furthermore the Notepad integration does not include any formatting of the text but it's an easy way to enter a lot of text and to view it for reading. From the Notepad you can also print it if needed.

Update:
A more general call to the Notepad have been made by using ENVIRON. Thanks for putting that to my attention Preben Rasmussen.

As I'm not mistaken, this is exact what the notepad of ToIncrease does. Did you copy it in some way?

The main difference with WaldoNavPad is that I provide an automation which can convert big amounts of texts to small peaces, and still keep the format more or less in the comment lines. After loading the text back into notepad, it keeps the same formatting (with formatting, I mean paragraphs ). The Waldonavpad only cuts of text at the position of a space or a carriage return.
Furthermore, you get a customizable notepad window (title, OK and Cancel button, readonly, ...), which gives you a more NAV Look&Feel.
Anyway, it's all explained at the download .

This download is a nice way as well, mainly because it doesn't use automation.

Sorry if this may sound a bit protective

My integration to Notepad is not copied from anywhere. [-X
As you mention it does not use automations, but at the same time it offers to present the text in the Notepad just as you originally entered it with paragrahs and everything. This though requires that you create a boolean carriage return field in the comment line. This is also explained in the documentation part of the object. In any case it will return text to the comment line with respect for spaces and carriage return.
In my Navision solutions I also use a self made editor which is very much Navision like with OK and CANCEL buttons, but here I can offer that you make a small change to the object and use the text editor you like.

It just sounded really familiar. ... Integration with any kind of notepad ...
Never mind, good job!

How can I configure this tool in sublines, i.e. sales line - discription?

Shall I use the SetFields() function?

Which parameters have to be used to select the discription field?

In sales line comment it works fine for me.

Rallnus

I've found the solution.

You have to use the following commands in your trigger:

locrecRef.GETTABLE(Rec);
loccuNotepad.SetFields(50001,7,50002,50000);
loccuNotepad.CommentLine(locrecRef);

SetFields(parintDateField : Integer;parintCommentField : Integer;parintUserField : Integer;parintReturnField : Integer)

The referring table has got the fields:

50001: Date field
7: Field of discription
50002: Code field
50000: boolean

Hi, any updates for RTC? love the way it is working in classic.

mdPartnerNL

Because I need a simple codeunit and no dll or external program I have spend some time testing and improving this download.

I have extended it too with a function to save text in to a blob field or add something else to a blob.

Examples are included. Import this codeunit and compile. That's all.

Ps.
Maybe someone can help with some hints to make it work in 2013-2016 too. Only the copy of the text file to the client is needed and it will work.

Maybe the author can create a new download on mibuso. For now you can use below link:

Thanks for feedback. I have fixed 2 bugs and added a simple example:

How to edit comment lines in Comments form 124?

is there an updated to this codeunit that can work with RTC. At the moment it is using ENVIRON and SHELL commands that do not work in RTC.
