Hello, I have a form in AX 2012 that works with ActiveX. In the init of the form I have a URL, through the code I write in a field of the page that opens. This page shows some results in a table that I then read and pass them to my AX tables. The question is: How could I do it at D365FO?
Hi Kelynger,
Another option could be Website host control but it looks like it does not allow to download content (but it can be a good starting point for own extensible control which can download content).

Have you checked in the web browser how data sent when button pressed, maybe there is a simple get or post request which can be emulated and response parsed in D365?
What I need is that once the page opens, write some data and then click on a search button.
Clicking the page shows some results that are what happened to Dynamics
I tried their solution but it only downloads the static HTML and does not allow me to access the button events.
Thank you very much, I will test your solution and I will inform you of the results
Replacement for ActiveX is extensible control framework.

But based on your description, I feel like you can download the needed page, parse it to a temp table and show in D365
