Posted on by Travis138 5

Hi experts,

I'm facing difficulties when converting Web Page Viewer Add-in from CAL to AL.
I had converted the Control Add-in in NAV 2018 to usercontrol in AL, however I have no clue on how to making functions of the Control Add-in avaialble in AL.

    you need to declare the Web Page Viewer as the dot net first : 

    dotnet
{
    assembly("Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.WebPageViewer")
    {
        Culture = 'neutral';

        type("Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.WebPageViewer.IWebPageViewer"; WebPageViewer)
        {
            IsControlAddIn = true;
        }
    }
}

    Above will be in single file , let say dotnet.al

    Then use it on your page like below : 

     layout
    {

            usercontrol(WebPageViewer; WebPageViewer)
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;

                trigger ControlAddInReady(callbackUrl: Text)
                begin
                    CurrPage.WebPageViewer.LinksOpenInNewWindow();
                    CurrPage.WebPageViewer.SetContent(BodyText);
                end;

                trigger DocumentReady()
                begin

                end;

                trigger Callback(data: Text)
                begin

                end;

                trigger Refresh(callbackUrl: Text)
                begin
                    CurrPage.WebPageViewer.LinksOpenInNewWindow();
                    CurrPage.WebPageViewer.SetContent(BodyText);
                end;
            }

  

    }

    Above will be in your Page Extension file

    Hi I Gusti Made Ari Permadi,

    Many thanks for your reply.

    I had tried the method that you propose but it doesn't seem to work on NAV 2018.

    I created the AL file as advice but encounter an error.

    "Expected one of the application object keywords (table, tableextension, page, pageextension, pagecustomization, profile, codeunit, report, xmlport, query, controladdin)"

    I'm currently on NAV 2018 with AL Language 0.13.91787.

    Seek your kind advise.

    Sorry , i think dotnet in AL  only available in BC and not backported to NAV 2018. For this case I think you cannot convert this and better if you call standard Email Dialog Page (Page ID 9700)

    Thanks for your reply, it seems like I have to find another workaround.

    [Update]

    Manage to use Table 9500 Email Item and standard functions in this table to call out the page for sending email.
    Thank you for all the advice.
