Several Questions (RTC-AddIns)

andyR

Hi together,

i have some questions to RTC AddIns:

1.) I want to integrate a whole form (not a Classic Form), which is created in C# into the RTC. It this possible? By open the Page in which the Form is integrated, following error occures:

Type: System.ArgumentException
Message: Das Steuerelement der obersten Ebene kann nicht zu einem Steuerelement hinzugefügt werden.

I don't know if it helps, but here is my code snippet:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing;
using Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Extensibility;
using Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Extensibility.WinForms;

namespace my_Form
{
    [ControlAddInExport("FORM")]
    public class Class1 : WinFormsControlAddInBase
    {
        protected override Control CreateControl()
        {
             Form1 my_form = new Form1();
             my_form.Size = new Size(600, 400);
             return my_form;
        }
    }
}

2.) Is it possible to transfer Data from other parts of Page to the embedded form? If yes, how?

Thank you very much!!!

You cannot use form, you need to use some control which could be embeded in existing form.

You have only two ways how to pass data between NAV and Addin - the field value (NAV to Addin and back) and the Addin Event (Addin to NAV). If the field is BLOB, you can pass what you want inside it like XML etc.

OK thank you very much for the information
