Dynamics4.NET FAQ: Integration of GUI for .NET Forms

Back to FAQ index

Plain .NET Forms (aka ABL Forms) can be integrated into Dynamics4.NET and can be launched from Dynamics Toolbar- and Menustructures.

For this purpose a new class has been added to the Dynamics repository (SystemWindowsFormsForm) to support the registration of .NET Forms (System.Windows.Forms.Form or Progress.Windows.Form). Using the run attribute the developer can control if the Form will be launched as a MDI child in the MDI Container (if available) or as an independent Form.

Using the static manager classes the access to the Dynamics manager functionality has been made accessible to object oriented code (such as the Visual Designer generated code).
