Drop Dialog Form in Dynamics Ax 2012

In Ax 2012 there are many new form templates available. One of them i have widely used in my designs is the drop dialog. The drop dialog is very catchy little Form template that can create non intrusive UI for small updates/changes/inputs.

Here is a small picture of how a drop dialog will show up. (click on the image to open a gif Animation of the drop dialog)

In the standard you can find many places where the drop dialog boxes is put to use. The create planned order form in Master planning\Planned order is one nice example.

How to create a drop dialog button

1. Create a form from the Drop Dialog template

2. Create a menu item for this form

3. Add a “Drop Dialog button” in the form where you want to invoke it.

You are done with this beautiful little form:)
