Javascript datagrid as control addin in Dynamics NAV 2016

mtlmonk

Hi,

I would like to build a javascript control addin that consist of being a datagrid connected to the DB with read/edit/modify/delete actions.

Am I reading this right? It can't be done and NAV 2016 won't support it?

Text found in msdn:

Javascript-based client add-ins in repeater controls, such as lists, listparts, list subpages, and worksheets, are not supported on any of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV clients.

The article describes a scenario, where the add-in is placed (or cannot be placed) inside a Repeater control. However, from your explanation I assume you are going the opposite way, populating multiple rows in an add-in.

I see no technical issues with that, but one business question: Isn't this something that could be done with a List or Worksheet type page?

Yes, I said datagrid but there would be different behavior that is not supported by standard grid in NAV. Like parent/child toggle records for example.
