Dear friends,

I am new in NAV and currently reference a custom C# dll in my project. As the c# projects requires some input parameters like date, text and so on, how can nav pop up a parameter window for user manually input their value?

Luckily, I found one of the most popular result from Saurav

https://community.dynamics.com/nav/b/sauravdhyanimicrosoftdynamicsnav/archive/2014/09/11/discontinued-component-nav-2013-amp-later-input-box-the-input-method-is-obsolete

But it contains only one parameter and seems for string only. In my case, I would like add multiple parameters and define the data type by myself, just like AX.

Any information is welcome. Thanks in advance.

You can create a ProcessingOnly report that, on its Request Page, it asks for your parameters input. Then, in OnPostReport event you can call your DLL passing the parameters previously inserted.

So whats the challenge over here, you can make any UI in NAV with the required inputs and then pass the inputs as parameters to your dll method.

Can you tell me the challenge or show me what you tried till now?

If any how it would be Contro addin then it make sense to be challenging as what you said but it wont be a challenge for a simple dll.

I found a solution from standard page (684 date-time dialog) and table (472 Job Queue Entry).

I just need to build a variable based page and then pass the page variable from screen input to the dll reference.

Thanks for previous answer.
