Hi,

I try to use method ShowColor from Common Dialog.
Afterwards, I try to get the selected Color with the property Color which is a OLE_Color variable type.

But how can we declare an OLE_COLOR variable in Navision ?

    You can't. LS Retail has a com that does that.

    You can use Microsoft Script Control to convert OLE_COLOR to integer

    Variables:

    VariantVal : Variant
    Script: Automation 'Microsoft Script Control 1.0'.ScriptControl"
    ColorDialog: OCX 'Microsoft Common Dialog Control, version 6.0'"
    ColorValue : Integer

    and code:

    CREATE(Script);
    Script.Language := 'VBScript';
    VariantVal := Script.Eval(ColorDialog.Color);
    ColorValue := VariantVal;

    Has anyone got this working in the Role tailored client ? I get the following error:

    "Unable to convert from Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Runtime.NavAutomation to System.String."

    This is the code that gives the error:

    liColor := lautConvColorToInt.Eval(locxCommonDialogControl.Color);

    I tried to replace the liColor (integer) with a variant, and this works, but then I can't convert the variant to an integer

    Thx,

    I think that it is problem of using OCX on RTC. Do not forget that the automation is created on service tier by default (I am not sure if it is true for OCX too, but for Automation it is true, but you can change it by parameter of CREATE, but this is not used for OCX).

    My machine did not have the Script Control installed, for some reason, so I tried to find an alternative solution, as described here: http://mibuso.com/blogs/zenandtheartofc ... og-part-i/.

    On RTC:
    The commonDialog has a .NET wrapper.
    Instead of using VB, you write C# like .NET code.
