Last week I was struggling with the UPLOAD statement. First of all, I always need some twisted thinking here: the code is running on the Service Tier, but DOWNLOAD doesn’t mean that you download a file to the server. And UPLOAD doesn’t mean that your code on the server will send a file to the Role Tailored Client.
In so many cases when writing code for Dynamics NAV you want to display a dialog to notify the user or open a progress dialog. Today, we always need to consider that the code might be running from a web service where the GUIALLOWED variable is set to false.
A typical case of “works on my machine”. There’s one thing I had forgotten about the common dialog library: it requires a design time license (which is nothing more than a registry key with the right value).
This part of this two-part article describes the solution I found for the “challenge” described in the first part.
For one of our features, I desperately needed a colour common dialog like the one below.
This part of this two-part article describes the problems encountered; please check out the second part for my current solution.
We have been asked recently how to display a Dialog window for the RoleTailored client that would collect a Directory path. The old (good) Codeunit 412 “Common Dialog Management” was not suitable for that purpose (and honestly I would love to go for something more RTC oriented).
