Hi! I work in ax not so long and have some problems.

I have to create a progress bar for procces of confirmation of purchase order.

When confirmation of purchase, from time to time because of the very large volume of purchases, have to wait for the confirmation process, while AX shows no sign of work, in addition to notification of the processing tray. I was asked to add to this effect the status bar, it must be a type not specified, only that workers have seen that something was happening. I did this task via Sysoperationprogress, and it compile good and code performed, but Client doesn't see a progress bar. When client click on confirm button, AX only freezes until the operation to end, and that's all

I know that this operations work in CIL, namely FormLetterSrvice Class. Forms name is PurchTable

I posted a trivial example of such a progress bar a few years ago in Runbase dialog event handling issue.

As I understand, your problem is that you "have to create a progress bar" but Client doesn't see a progress bar".

I gave you an example of a correctly implemented progress bar, so you can compare it with your implementation.

I admit that I have no idea what you mean by "it must be a type not specified", therefore I ignored it. If it's important, please give us another explanation.

Yes, it's possible to display a progress bar if code runs in CIL. I wouldn't give you code doing that if it wasn't possible. :-)

I can't really understand how can integrate it in FormLetter class, because it is my first experience with SysOperationServiceController. can you say in which order i have to integrate your solution?

Well, can you try it first? Then we won't have to discuss again whether it's possible, how it looks and so on. Okay?

You said that "you did this task via Sysoperationprogress, and it compile good and code performed". If you want to discuss your code, you'll have to show it. If you realized that your code was wrong, well, let's start from scratch.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with FormLetter? If you merely won't to avoid freezing, did you consider use one of asynchronous execution modes (without any progress bar)?

The main problem is that the progress bar not displayed. When client want to confirm large volume of purchases. Sometimes the process takes very long, when confirming an purchase order. Some users just close and restart AX then, because they dont know if something is happening. And my task is that clients in procces of confirmation see what happenning

If users have to wait before something is done, or if you have the problem that they close the client before it's completed, showing them a progress bar is no solution. They would still have to wait and they would still be able to close the client. A better solution may be simply adding the task to a queue and let users to continue with their work.

You've reacted to my third paragraph only. Please make sure you haven't overlooked the other ones.
