Hi Experts,

Earlier, I could opened picture using Hyperlink(URL) function in NAV 2009R2.

Right Now, my requirement is:- whenever user is going to delete that picture, I need to show the error message.

So, I thought this requirement can be reached using automation.But I don't know which automation need to use.

Any one have suggestions...welcome.

Thanks in Advance.

do you use classic client or RTC (windows client)?

is your need to delete the item image and when doing that you want a confirmation?

or you use links and ... the image in the file share was removed and when click on the link in navision you get an error message?

Hi Jonathan Archer,

I am using classic client, and after image open, if user click on delete i need to stop the deletion of image. Instead of deletion i need to show the error message.

Image is opened without any error.

that needs a customization in form 346 "Item Picture". edit that form, then edit menu "Picture" / menubutton "Delete" and show the c/al code.

<Control5> - OnPush()

IF Picture.HASVALUE THEN

IF CONFIRM(Text002,FALSE,TABLECAPTION,"No.") THEN BEGIN

CLEAR(Picture);

CurrForm.SAVERECORD;

END;

you could remove lines 2 - 5 and replace by

error('delete not allowed');

Hi Jonathan Archer,

Thank for your response.

Actually, Image is not accessed from item table...

....on the item card we added menu item =>ViewDrawing=>In ViewDrawing onpush trigger we called showpicture function(which has defined in item table).

In showpicture function code as follows

{

MfgSetup.GET;

ItemNo := "No.";

HYPERLINK(MfgSetup."Drawings Path" + FilterItemNo(ItemNo) + '.bmp');

}

where MfgSetup."Drawings Path" := \\Servername\NAV\Path\

This is Earlier Code...

Right now my issue is.........The picture is not existed in nav, it is accessed from external folder.

I could open using "'Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation'.Shell" automation variable.

I didn't find any method to fired when deletion occured in that autoamtion variable.

After opening image it's under os control.

So I need automation variable regarding Picture actions(open,save,delete) manageable.

If any automation variable existing like that...please let me know.

Thanks once again.

Are you asking if somebody delete the picture manually from the shared folder do you want to throw a message ? How the users delete the picture from NAV ? Are you not using a picture field to store the picture like standard NAV does on the company information ?

for running external programs or documents/images, which can be opened by a default app you can use System.Diagnostics.Process

community.dynamics.com/.../executing-external-programs

to check if the file/image exists, you can use command EXISTS

or .net class System.IO.FileInfo
