I'd like to localize my aspx-page.
This should include dynamically created LinkButtons in a GridView inside of InstantiateIN
(amendment 1: implementation of the System.Web.UI.ITemplate.InstantiateIN method to manipulate the appearance of a GridView)
(amendment 2: first six lines of code added to better indicate location of other code)
But inside InstantiateIN I cannot use (see) the method GetLocalResourceObject
Solution: use a Session-Variable
Question: Why can't I use GetLocalResourceObject inside InstantiateIN?
the following happens inside InstantiateIN
public class DynamicTemplateGridViewSearch : ITemplate
{
public void InstantiateIn(System.Web.UI.Control Container)
{
switch (ItemType)
{
case ListItemType.Item:
switch (InfoType)
{
case "Command":
{
LinkButton search_button = new LinkButton();
search_button.ID = "search";
search_button.CommandName = "Edit";
//following line does not work. Error is:
//The name 'GetLocalResourceObject' does not exist in the current context
search_button.Text = GetLocalResourceObject("SearchButtonResource1.Text").ToString();
//so I have to create a Session-String in Page_Load
//which is referenced here
search_button.Text = (string)new Page().Session["SearchText"]; // "Search";
search_button.Click += new EventHandler(search_button_Click);
Container.Controls.Add(search_button);
You haven't told where exactly InstantiateIn method is located - is it inside an custom control?
Regardless, you can use container.Page property to get reference to page object and invoke the method on it. For example,
search_button.Text = Container.Page.GetLocalResourceObject("SearchButtonResource1.Text").ToString();
BTW, session object reference can be obtained similarly or you may use current HttpContext. For example, Container.Page.Session["SearchText"] OR HttpContext.Current.Session["SearchText"]

On Dynamics AX 2012,Passing between two step form a parameter that I would use to change the data source of the second form;
how you pass a parameter from the init form to init the data source?
I hope I have understood the question
If you wanto to pass a parameter between forms, you have multiway.
One solution.
In Form - A override a method clicked() control Button
void clicked()
{
Args args;
FormRun formRun;
;
args = new Args();
args.name(formstr(nameyourFormB));
args.record(nameTableSourceRecords);
args.caller(element);
formRun=new FormRun(args);
formRun.run();
formRun.wait();
}
So , in the SecondForm - Form - B
override method init()
public void init()
{
super();
if(element.args() && element.args().record() &&element.args().record().TableId == tableNum(nameSourceRecords))
{
nameTableSourceRecords = element.args().record() ;
stringEdit.text(nameTableSourceRecords.nameFieldTableSourceRecords);
}
}
You have to insert in Designs node Form-B a one StringEdite (set AutoDeclaration YES) in Properties.
Now, you open Form-A select a record, click on control Button -> will Open Form-B and you have set a value in your StringEdit control.
I hope to help you.
Greetings!
Get the parameter in the form.init(), save it to a variable in your form's classdeclaration, then override the datasource's init() method and manually create a FormDataSource object using the passed in parameter to determine the datasource.
Although I'm not sure how you're going to show this on form controls...the controls will expect the datasource to be what it is set up as. There's probably a better way to achieve whatever you're trying to do.
One solution of this is to use EnumTypeParameter and EnumParameter property on menuitem of child form. Set these parameter value on parent form and on child form init you just need an if clause then. like:
if (args.parmEnumType() == yourEnum && args.parmEnum() == 'yourEnumValue')
{
//set the desired datasource
}

I have created a wizard in Ax 2012 using wizard>wizard and i am calling this wizard from Custtablelistpage form... now, i have put some controls in this wizard like CustAccount, and i need to initialize value in this control from selected record in Custtablelistpage form....
I am trying to perform this using Args class, but it is not working, please suggest some solutions..
please create one wizard in AX 2012 using tools>wizard>wizard
then, please put menu item of this wizard somewhere on custtablelistpage.
After that, please put one field named Customer account on welcome tab of wizard.
Now, if you any record that is displayed in custtablelistpage form, please select that.
My task is to display the Account num of selected record to my wizard when i am clicking the menu item button which i have put on custtablelistpage.
Actually, i have written some code,, which is is working absolutely fine for normal forms. but it is not working for Wizard and i am not getting value to initialize in my control on wizard.
Ok, I took some time to try this out and I have two possible solutions for you.
You can do it by using unbound controls and pass in the selected record
Or you could use a datasource on the wizard form and filter on the selected values
First let's try and do it by using a simple unbound control. Start by adding a CustTable member variable and parameter method to your wizard class.
public class MyTestWizardWizard extends SysWizard
{
CustTable mySelectedCustomer;
}
public CustTable parmMySelectedCustomer(CustTable _mySelectedCustomer = mySelectedCustomer)
{
;
mySelectedCustomer = _mySelectedCustomer;
return mySelectedCustomer;
}
Then in your form, you can overwrite the init method and do the following :
void init()
{
int controlid;
FormStringControl fsControl;
;
super();
if (element.Args().caller())
{
sysWizard = element.Args().caller();
// Get the control id of the CustomerId control
controlid = element.controlId(formControlStr(MyTestWizardWizard, CustomerId));
// Check if we actually have a form string control
if(element.control(controlid) is FormStringControl)
{
// Cast to the FormStringControl type
fsControl = element.control(controlid) as FormStringControl;
// Now fill in the field value
fsControl.text(sysWizard.parmMySelectedCustomer().AccountNum);
}
}
else
{
MyTestWizardWizard::main(new args());
element.closeCancel();
}
}
So what you actually do here is just fetch the selected record stored in you wizard class. Then we check if the control we want to assign values to is actually the right control to put the value in.
Though this is working, I would prefer a second method. That would be to use a datasource on the form and put a range on the selected record like this. Just put the CustTable as a datasource on the form and place your control as you would normally do.
Then, make sure the init method is performing the super() call at the bottom to make sure initialisation is done before calling the datasource methods:
void init()
{
;
// make sure the sysWizard is already initialized before the super to make sure the init on the datasource has an instance of sysWizard
if (element.Args().caller())
{
sysWizard = element.Args().caller();
}
else
{
MyTestWizardWizard::main(new args());
element.closeCancel();
}
super();
}
Then overwrite the init method on the datasource to put a range on the recId field of the custTable.
Please mind the you could assign the value of the range in the ExecuteQuery method, but for this case, I just do it here.
public void init()
{
;
super();
SysQuery::findOrCreateRange(this.query().dataSourceTable(tableNum(CustTable)), fieldNum(CustTable, RecId)).value(queryValue(SysWizard.parmMySelectedCustomer().RecId));
}
Now when your wizard is run, the args passes the record to your wizard class, the form picks it up on the init of the datasource and puts a range on the record that you have selected. All the rest of the magic is normal Ax behavior with bound data controls.
So I hope this is what you needed. Please let me know if you have further questions.
I have a GridView bound to ObjectDataSource. I see, the SelectMethod and the SelectCountMethod are fired twice.
In the GridView RowDataBound I have gv.ShowFooter = false;
When I comment this line, the events are fires only once. Why is that happening? How to work around it? I don't understand, why hiding one element in the databound control results is rebinding the ObjectDataSource?
RowDataBound event gets fired when GridView gets data bound (that means firing of SelectMethod).
Now, toggling properties like ShowFooter requires grid to re-create rows and it means binding the data again. That's why object data source will get triggered again.
Solution will be to set ShowFooter property earlier (instead of RowDataBound). If that's not feasible then put the logic in your object data source class to the cache the data so that you don't have to visit data store twice. For example,
// Code Behind Class
public partial class MyPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
private object _data;
public static object SelectData()
{
// get the current page instance
var page = HttpContext.Current.CurrentHandler as MyPage;
if (null != page._data)
{
return page._data;
}
// logic to retrieve the data
...
_data = ...
return _data;
}
...
private void RefreshGrid()
{
_data = null; // force the data-source to go to database again
grid.DataBind();
}
}
Disclaimer: un-tested code only for illustration purpose
So, in above code, a static method for page code-behind is used to getting the data. And a local variable in the page class is used for caching the data. Also note for refreshing the grid, you may need to clear the variable before calling DataBind method on grid.
how can i access a public function in an .ascx file using C#?
Thanks
If the function is not static you will need to first obtain an instance of the class containing the function and then invoke the function on this instance. For example:
<%
// obtain an instance of the type containing the function
Foo instance = new Foo();
// invoke the function on this instance
string result = instance.Bar();
%>
Obviously it would be better to do this in the code behind file instead of polluting your markup.
Like other public functions in .NET Framework - via object reference. But sometimes Visual Studio doesn't automatically see your User Control's public members. Try to rebuild your user control and the site if IntelliSense window doesn't show it to you.
Where are you calling the function from? The containing page? Masterpage? Parent control? The control itself? Regardless, you'll need to somehow obtain a reference to the control instance (unless the method is static) in order to invoke this method. And the type of your reference must match that of the class that defines the method.
Edit:
MyControl myControl = (MyControl)Page.FindControl("Id_Of_The_Control");
if (myControl != null)
{
myControl.TheMethod();
}
if you don't want to add your ascx control into a placeholder programmatically, just implement IAttributeAccessor and IUserControlDesignerAccessor interfaces to your user control class like;
public partial class yourascxclassname: System.Web.UI.UserControl, IAttributeAccessor, IUserControlDesignerAccessor
you can access only public members of your ascx control.
I'm trying to create my calendar control with databinding.
public partial class Calendar : UserControl
{
public static readonly DependencyProperty DateProperty =
DependencyProperty.Register("Date", typeof(DateTime),
typeof(Calendar), null);
public object Date
{
get { return GetValue(DateProperty); }
set
{
SetValue(DateProperty, value);
OnPropertyChanged("Date");
}
}
public Calendar()
{
// Required to initialize variables
InitializeComponent();
DayText.Text = ((DateTime)Date).ToString("dd");
MonthText.Text = ((DateTime)Date).ToString("MMM");
this.Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(Calendar_Loaded);
this.GotFocus += new RoutedEventHandler(Calendar_Loaded);
}
void Calendar_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
DayText.Text = ((DateTime)Date).ToString("dd");
MonthText.Text = ((DateTime)Date).ToString("MMM");
}
}
But When I create the listbox with this control, same calndar have the wrong date. I'm sure that the Date passed thorough databinding is correct but I don't understand why same calender show a different day (I'm noticed that is the day of a previous calendar control intance)
Thank you for supporting!
Hmm ... where do we start? Here's a few things I've noticed:
If you're using a dependency property, there's no need to call OnPropertyChanged from the Date property setter.
The dependency property declares the type as DateTime, but your public exposed property is of type object, which then requires you to cast it elsewhere.
If Calendar_Loaded is to be called in more situations than in response to the Loaded event (such as the GotFocus event, then I'd recommend that you call it something else, or create a method with a relevant name (e.g. UpdateDateParts) and call it from properly named separate event handlers.
Using fixed format specifiers when processing date strings does not localize well.
In addition to that, I'd suggest that you could implement the user interface in a manner that supports databinding (and re-templating) by using bindings and exposing the date parts of the Date dependency property instead of manually updating the Text property of some text blocks/boxes in event handlers. In fact, if you derive from Control instead of UserControl then you can create and actuall lookless control that has it's user interface defined by a style in themes\generic.xaml that can be re-defined by users of your control.
As for why the date is incorrect in different instances of your calendar control, we'd need to see some of your XAML/code to see how the control is being used and initialized to be able to provide a better answer. However, I thought the above was worth putting in an Answer, instead of trying to say it in a Comment.
