Blocking copy / Ctrl-C on a grid

2013-02-21T07:21:01Z

I've hear that this request is often asked.

So there is a little piece of code to block all copy of data in a grid (for all form)

If you want to do this only on one form, you need to overwritte the method taks in the form

For my case, you need to select the method "task" on the class "SysSetupFormRun' and write this:

FormControl form;

//standard code

if (_p1 == #taskCopy)
{
    form = this.control(this.selectedControl().containerId());

    if (form && form.handle() == classNum(FormGridControl))
    {
        return 0;
    }
}

ret = super(_p1);

return ret;

AX: Listing files in a folder (code example)

2013-02-05T08:49:00Z

Some time you will maybe need to research some file in the folder.

So find here a little piece of code you can make a listing of file in the directory (here, temp folder)

static void myFileList(Args _args)
{
    FilePath                sFilePath;

    System.IO.DirectoryInfo di;
    System.IO.FileInfo[]    fis;
    System.IO.FileInfo      fi;
    int                     i;
    int                     l;
    ;

    sFilePath   = WinAPI::getTempPath();
    di          = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(sFilePath);
    fis         = di.GetFiles();
    l           = fis.get_Length();

    for (i = 0; i < l; i++)
    {
        fi = fis.GetValue(i);
        info(fi.get_FullName());
    }
}

AX 2012 : Little labels user guide

2013-01-10T16:45:00Z

This little post for talking about labels in AX 2012.

Version 2.

CREATE LABEL ID

As previous version, use the wizard

And after that, restart the AOS.

CREATE LABEL

Use the label editor to create a new label.

Select your new label:

And write your new label and press CTRL-N

DELETE LABEL FILE

You have your new label ID in the AOT :

But you can’t delete it simply by a right click and select delete.
You must use model !

Create a new model (through the menu) and choose a temp name (f.e. : TrashLabel)

Move your label in this model

Open PowerShell, user AxUtil tool, and delete your model.

Make the listing of model with the command:

AXUtil.exe list /db:MicrosoftDynamicsAX /s:AX2012-A

And delete the model containing the label with the command

AXUtil.exe delete /db:MicrosoftDynamicsAX /s:AX2012-A /model:29

TRANSFERT LABELS

For transfer a label ID from an Appl to another.

Two way :

1.Use model / modelstore
2.Use label file (.ald)

By model/modelstore

Import your model into the new application and make standard operation.

Example of command:

AXUtil.exe import /db:MicrosoftDynamicsAX /s:AX2012-A /file:C:\TrashLabel.axmodel

By .ald file

You need to create manually your label file. (see create label section)

When done, import the .ALD file.

AX 2012 R2 : New, Changed, and Deprecated Features for Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

2013-01-09T08:34:46Z

Hi all,

For all tech guys, don't forget to take a look at this document : http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=7225

TextIO : Little user guide

2013-01-04T09:23:00Z

I receive sometime some remarks concerning how to use the TextIO file, so there is a little example of how to use it.

You must also know that TextIO class will replace the old AsciiIO class.

When you create your file with the 'new', you can also add a parameter: 'CodePage'. This CodePage can create a file of type ANSI or UTF8. For more information concerning this, read this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa881745(v=ax.50).aspx

For other information on TextIO class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa603840(v=AX.50).aspx

So now, little example:

Write

public void writeOnFile(FileName _fileName, str _value, container _valueList)
{
    #File
    TextIO file;

    // SET PERMISSION
    new FileIOPermission(_fileName, #io_write).assert();

    // CREATE FILE
    file = new TextIO(_fileName, #io_write);

    // CHECK STATUS
    if (!file || file.status() != IO_Status::Ok)
    {
        throw error('Can not create file');
    }

    // ADD SIMPLY DATA
    file.write(_value);

    // ADD DATA SEPARATE BY ';' (For CSV file f.e.)
    file.outFieldDelimiter(';');
    file.write(_valueList);

    // CLOSE FILE
    file = null;

    // REVERT ACCESS
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
}

Read

private void readFile(FileName _fileName)
{
    #File
    TextIO      file;
    container   line;

    // SET PERMISSION
    new FileIOPermission(_fileName, #io_read).assert();

    // SET FILE
    file = new TextIO(_fileName, #io_read);

    // CHECK STATUS
    if (!file || file.status() != IO_Status::Ok)
    {
        throw error("Can't open file");
    }

    // SET DELIMITER FOR READ
    file.inFieldDelimiter(';');

    // READ FIRST LINE
    line = file.read();

    while (conLen(line))
    {
        // Put your specific code here

        // READ NEXT LINE
        line = file.read();
    }

    // CLOSE FILE
    file = null;

    // REVERT ACCESS
    CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
}
