In this post I will use a MIListPanel in order to list customers and then add an open event that will open CRS610 for the selected customer.
I’ll start by getting the Bookmark for the program I want to open on the double click in the list.
1. Start the program and select to create a bookmark on the canvas.
2. Open the shortcut and make a copy of the URL. Continue reading
In 9.1.3 we introduced a generic support for running any M3 API without having to create WS Stubs. If you are on a previous version you can still call a web service but it requires much more work including the use of Smart Office SDK. All calls to M3 APIs have to be done on a background thread!
There is simply no excuse for doing this the incorrect way. If you call the web service on the UI thread the entire UI will freeze for the time period that the call takes. In normal cases this will not be noticable but that does not matter. No calls to other servers on the UI thread.
In Lawson Smart Office 9.1.3 we introduced the TriggerPanel control. It is a Process Server control that can be used to trigger a form in a asynchronpous way. There is no return value from the call except the workitem id generated from Process Server. But it is still an easy way to create a form and submit an action to trigger a flow.
You can think about the TriggerPanel in two different scenarios. One where you have a standrad form and a submit button to trigger the flow and another scenario when there is a trigger of the form in response to another Mashup event, for example the loading of an S3 form. Continue reading
A few days ago I wrote a post about how to use the generic property setter in order to set IsEnabled on a button. I got the question how to do it in 9.1.2. Unfortunately the M3List does not expose the CurrentItem property in 9.1.2 so for M3Lists I have no solution. But for lists using the M3 APIS (MIListPanel) and the DataListPanel you have the option of checking the SelectedValue of the list and use a converter that will change a not null value to true.
My example has a list of Countries and a button that will be disabled unless a row in the list is selected. Continue reading
One of the nice features in WordPress is that I can see what users search for on my blog. One of the searches last week was “xaml enable button after listpanel currentitemchanged”. In this case I think I know what the reader wanted to do so this post is about how to control IsEnabled on a button depending on the current item changed event. Continue reading
A few days ago I wrote about Personlizations in M3. What I forgot to mention is the Personalization Manager in M3. It’s an admin tool for managing personlizations for users and groups and for different servers installations. This is the tool to user for moving personlizations around, for example from a test environment to a production environment.
Users can change panels in MForms to obtain personalized versions of the standard M3 panels. Examples of personalization are conditional styles, hyperlinks, tab order, label texts and JScripts. Personalization is done directly within MForms using dialogs and special edit mode panels. There is a Personalization menu available under the Tools menu and on the context menu for the panel that contains the available personalization options. Continue reading
