Custom Links functionality in a new dexterity window...

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 125

I've created an extension window to the SOP transaction entry window for shipment tracking information that is more functional than the single field grid in the native user defined window.

I would like to use the native custom links functionality for live tracking updates from the vendor sites that currently existing.  Is there any documentation or assistance available?

Thanks,

Douglas

    I don't think you can do custom windows with existing custom link functionality.

    Thank you.  I know how to make a button and add functionality to it.  I was just looking to be more consistent with existing GP and if the Custom Links was setup and used with native windows, I wanted to have the same functionality on my custom windows with the same links.  I have zoom buttons that link the Item Number back to the Item Card, but if a client has already setup Custom Links with added functionality, I wanted that to automatically be in my windows as well without additional setup or maintenance.

    I appreciate your suggestion, I'm just looking for documentation or samples about using the existing CustomLinks functionality.

    You don't need to go to SDK and functions, it's very simple. All you need to do is to take a new button , on properties window make a visible property 'false' and set  'Zoom' functionality to True. and then add a code. if your are saving your item images with your item name, you can code similar as below code , if not you need to change your code accordingly

    if not empty('Service Call Number')then
    	run application "", "V:\service\"+'Service Call Number'+".JPG";
    end if;

    Thank you.  What I am looking for is documentation on this functionality in order to add it to some custom dexterity windows.  I can find the actual functions in the SDK, but am looking for more explanation about each function and their proper usage.

    Through 'Custom Link' Functionality of Dynamics GP, we can add zoom functionality to open item image for below fields.

    To add the same in Item Maintenance for Item number field you need a customization.

    The GP CustomLinks does more than just Shipping Tracking.  In the case of Tracking, I would send a tracking number parameter.

    I also use the Custom Links to open an item image, so I would like to add the Button and functionality to item windows in lieu of using a zoom button.

    Thanks,

    Douglas

    Hi Douglas,

    Will you still be relying on the document shipping method to pick the 'link' address?

    Kind regards,

    Leslie

    Ok it's a while since I've been into custom links, for anyone following this thread here is an example of use in tracking, http://mbsguru.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/dynamics-gp-custom-links-shipment.html

    I'm not a Dexterity expert, but I'd imagine you'd create a BDL to hold the drop down list of custom links on your new dexterity form and fill the BDL from the CustomLinks_Fill method of coCustomLinks (332) .

    That is about as far as I can go with this.

    I don't think you can do it for your custom extension window.

    you can do it by either vba or dexterity.
