Hello,

I have Project in Visual Studio, where is Windows Form. My project`s type is Windows Application (i have tried Class Library too), and using .NET Framework 4.0 (because SLX.Framework doesn`t want lower version of framework)

And i am trying to run it in the Saleslogix v8.0. SLX wanted very hard that i implements IRunnable, so i did, but i don`t know how to put it inside the SLX form.

I can run it as separated window.

How to run my .Net Extension in Saleslogix form?

Visual Studio C# code:

public class Program : MarshalByRefObject, IRunnable
 

        {

                    private Form1 _customerInfoForm;

                    private ISlxApplication _SlxApplication;

                    public void  Initialize(ISlxApplication SlxApplication, Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.Licensing.ILicenseKeyManager LicenseKeyManager)

                    {

                        _SlxApplication = SlxApplication;

                        _customerInfoForm = new Form1();   //SLX only running this part of code ( Initialize )

                        _customerInfoForm.Show();

                    }

                    public object Run(object[] Args)

                    {

                        _SlxApplication.BasicFunctions.GlobalInfoSet("EventOwner", (string)Args[0]); //I don`t know why, he doesn`t start public Run

                        _customerInfoForm = new Form1();

                        _customerInfoForm.Show();

                        return this;

                    }

 }

Saleslogix code:

 Dim ext
 ext = Application.Managed.Create("Krediidiinfo", "Krediidiinfo.Program")
 Application.Managed.Run ext, null

Can someone post here code example, which is using IRunnable ?

If what you are referring to is embedding your .NET form inside a SLX form, this library will make that task easy for you. https://github.com/CustomerFX/NetExtensionsHelper

This library allows you to create a .NET UserControl and embed in a SLX form pretty easily. Source is available if you just wanted to see how to do the embedding and the pinvoke calls required.

It`s is not so easy.

Those samples are using Framework 2.0, if i will add reference from my Saleslogix 8.0 (NetExtenstions.Framework), then it wants Framework 4.0.

If i used lower version of Saleslogix, then it would be great, but i tried it already, even Your samples, where are Contacts, they doesn`t work on SLX 8.0.

Am i missing something?

Here is a little code, which is using IRunnable structure:

using Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions;

using Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.Licensing;

using Sage.SalesLogix.NetExtensions.SalesLogix;

[ComVisible(true)]

public class SlxWrapper : MarshalByRefObject, IRunnable

{

    private ISlxApplication _slx;

    public void Initialize (ISlxApplication slxApplication, ILicenseKeyManager licenseKeyManager)

    {

      _slx = slxApplication;

    }

    public object Run (object[] args)

    {

        //process your arguments and fire of any other things you want to happen directly from slx lan client

    }

//here is amethod stub. This can be accessed from the returned object in your calling vb script

    public void SomeMetod()

    {

         //display a messgae box or somethig here

    }

//This will return a string from the .net extension to your calling code

    public string returnStringMetod()

    {

        return "some string value";

    }

}

I am missing a little piece of code, which will inherit SLX form for my .Net project.

I don`t clearly understand the logic, should i firstly Get this form (form.HWND) from SLX, then use this variable in my .Net project?

To use the library you just can grab the source, update the references and .NET version, then recompile. Otherwise, you could just add the embed logic yourself (copying the relevant code from the library source).

Basically, to embed the form, you need to pass to the extension the HWND of the panel or form where you want to embed the .NET form, then use the SetParent Win32 API to change the parent of the .NET form to the HWND passed from SLX.

See here for SetParent https://github.com/CustomerFX/NetExtensionsHelper/blob/master/FX.SalesLogix.NetExtensionsHelper/SalesLogixControl.cs#L133 and then here for the code to resize the embedded .NET form to fill the parent area https://github.com/CustomerFX/NetExtensionsHelper/blob/master/FX.SalesLogix.NetExtensionsHelper/SalesLogixControl.cs#L165

Thank You a lot!
