Converting Legacy form to ActiveX form
Posted: 01 Nov 07 9:07 AM

Hi this is not question but a thought that just came to me.
Instead of updating a legacy form, why can't people convert it to an ActiveX form. Recently, I had to update a legacy form and I didn't what the heck to do with it. A colleague gave me an exe (I presume it comes with SLX) and it converted my legacy into an activeX form. No pain at all - it preserved everything that the legacy did. All I did was install the executable and a menu option appeared under Tools called "Form Conversion" in Architect. That's all.
I think doing so will solve many problems. I think everyone knows about this exe file that I am talking about right?
Edit: The name of the tool that he gave me is: SalesLogix Form Conversion PowerUser Utility.exe |

Hi,
I assume that this tool is manipulating the Windows registry. For using the Conversion tools you only need to add an additional DWORD key called "AllowFormConversions" key under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SalesLogix\Architect". This new DWORD key need to have the value 1 (dword:00000001) to show the addinional menu "Form conversion".
Please keep in mind there is no warranty or support by Sage for that conversion tool.
Best regards,
Thomas |

| Yes, it simply adds a registry entry. The forms conversion is built into Architect. However, you probably got lucky ! If there was any basic script tied to the legacy forms - it doesn't convert that. What it does do, however, is bring in the code all commented out into the correct event handlers. Means, at least, you have a sporting chance of converting legacy/basic code to activescript ! |
