Open WinForm with DotNet Datatype C/AL code

lang

Hi!

i like to use DotNet datatype in C/AL to open a WinForm with a RichTextBox.

my code idea:
var SystemWinFormsForm DotNet 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.System.Windows.Forms.Form

var RichTextBox DotNet 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox

// new instance
SystemWinFormsForm := SystemWinFormsForm.Form;

// open win form
SystemWinFormsForm.Show;

// to create a RichTextBox
RichTextBox := RichTextBox.RichTextBox;
RichTextBox.Rtf(rtfText);

Does anyone know how i can open the win form? nothing happens with SystemWinFormsForm.Show;
How can i include the RichTextBox in my WinForm object?

Kind regards
Alex

You cannot use DotNet variables to expose WinForms in pages. You wil have to use the client extensibility controls instead. They are basically just add-ins with UI suport. You caould take a look at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cabeln/ for more information about this topic.
