Creating signature for service order

sadjad_1234@live.se

Hi!
My customer need to be able to put signatures on his service order in NAV. I'ts kind of easy to create that kind of functionality. You create a simple "Paint" application, put the DLL in the Service Order Header Page, save the signature as a BMP in a BLOB.

But my customer need that signature to be in visible in the standard NAV app, how can I archive that?

In nav 2016 you can use function CURRENTCLIENTTYPE to Check which client is calling the page. If tablet or phone client is calling set the signature control invisible.

Oh thank you, I will test your solution! I Googled alot here in Sweden but google never showed you link in the results and that's a shame!

I will get back to you with the result, will implement the signature in NAV 2016.

That will come handy because I don't want the signature to be visible in the pc-client

Hi Mohana!
Just a small question. I'm a junior developer, just started with C/AL. Before that I've I was a C# developer. My question is how to correctly add the functions/Methods in the "The C/AL code" part on this page: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Extensibility-for-the-7600738d#content

I mean, how do I create events like in the picture below or do they get createt somehow automatically? It dosent say where I should put this code?!

mohana_cse06

you need to declare the dotnet variables as global variables and set WithEvents property of the variable to yes
then those events will be added

Oh hi Mohana!
Thanks for the explanation. I'm a juniora C/AL Developer, from the beginning im a C# developer so the NAV world i kind of new to me I have so far never needed to code outside of the C/AL environment until now.

So what I did was that I added the BLOB file in the desired Table, which went fine.

The problem that I got is with the page. There is some kind of problem which I don't really understand.
When I import the page which comes with the solution, the try to compile it I get this "could not load type"-error in the picture below. And as you can see, there is no variable that is referenced to the "SignatureControl"-DLL file which Is strange...but still the events are still there...

Se this picture below for the "could not load type"-error



Then I created a dummy page with a field which in the properties i assigned the SignatureControl-DLL which went fine. See the first picture below.

Then tried to create a global variable which referenced the SignatureControl-DLL and then I got a error that might be the cause of the error I got regarding the "could not load type"-error above.

Picture 1, properties for the page field:


Picture 2, creating the global variable & error:



So whats the real problem that cause these two errors? Did i put the Microsoft.Dynamics.Framework.UI.Extensibility.dll in the wrong folder with the SignatureAddin.dll? Or is it something to do with the Public Token?

mohana_cse06

We have created dll ourselves with given code which provides new token and used that token and created dll in service and client folders.
