ActiveX form in D365FO

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 60

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,

    Replacement for ActiveX is extensible control framework.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../deprecated-features

    docs.microsoft.com/.../build-extensible-control

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

    One example of how to download HTML page in C# stackoverflow.com/.../how-can-i-download-html-source-in-c-sharp

    I tried their solution but it only downloads the static HTML and does not allow me to access the button events.

    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

    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?
