Micros Simphony Extensibility: How to create a WPF dialog and display it from c# code

[Yusuf SRC]

thread693-1810782

Hello everyone, I'm developing an extensibility application for micros simphony and I want to show some dynamic content in a dialog like content area. I couldn't see any OpsContext method to do that. I read from the above thread it can be done with normal WPF user control dialog. My question is How can I create a WPF dialog as normal and display it from c# code ?

this.OpsContext.RequestCustomDialog Can be done.
First, you need to write the UserControl in WPF.
Then replace this part.

<UserControl 
        xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"[/URL]
        xmlns:x="[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"[/URL]
        xmlns:mc="[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"[/URL] 
        xmlns:system="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
        xmlns:mconverters="clr-namespace:Micros.OpsUI.Converters;assembly=OpsUI"
        xmlns:mcontrol="clr-namespace:Micros.OpsUI.Controls;assembly=OpsUI"
        xmlns:mcfg="clr-namespace:Micros.OpsUI.Controls.Configuration;assembly=OpsUI"
        xmlns:mdesign="clr-namespace:Micros.OpsUI.Controls.Design;assembly=OpsUI"
        xmlns:d="[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"[/URL] 
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        d:DesignHeight="800" d:DesignWidth="800">
</UserControl>

Then configure it in EMC.
Just call the method this.OpsContext.RequestCustomDialog

What I mean by custom content is the content generated dynamically in c# extension code. I want to display a content dialog in a grid like system and update the data on it dynamically. You know the extension code is something written as a c# class library.

- I created another wpf user control project and referenced it from the extension library. I need to show that wpf by calling from c# code and send send dynamic data and update it.

I just need to display content in a grid system. I believe there is no method on the OpsContext to do that. only ShowTextList and ShowMessage methods can show text but that is not enough.

goodboy thanks for the replies. I mean the reply based on here in this thread

https://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1810782

@CathalMF replied this: Personally i dont see many advantages to using "RequestCustomDialog" unless you want to use SIM scripts to display dialogs. Create a WPF dialog as normal and display it from your code without the RequestCustomDialog.

So I believe a normal wpf dialog.

By the way I tried to add content in the EMC. I created the wpf and add the xaml code in the EMC as application content. like the images below. But when I run the code
OpsContext.RequestCustomDialog("the message", "title", "control", new { });

I got this error "The resource 'control' can not be found" What is that I'm missing ?

 

[goodbody]

Content name must be the same as the name configured in your EMC

Yes it is the same name "control" I added that content under the extension application content is that the right place ?

it is the name in the "Zonable Key" location

 

[goodbody]

I think it is configured in EMC ->Content, not in Application.

Thank you, I think it is the right direction, it did find the resource now. But I got this error "System.Exception: 'Unable to parse XAML
Source: control
'Failed to create a 'TextChanged' from the text 'TextBox_TextChanged_1'.' Line number '10' and line position '137'.'
"

how can I bind the events in code ? like in my "usercontrol.xaml.cs"

there should be TextBox_TextChanged_1(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e) function written in somewhere

 

[goodbody]

Events cannot be used. This method is more biased towards one-time binding of data.

Thank you so much for the replies. I need somehow two way binding and send data back and front.

wpf MVVM can do it.

wpf MVVM can do it.

Can you show code some examples or direct me some links about how to do it ?
