Add Field to Sales Order Screen

[Microsharp]

Hi Mike/Scott,

We are trying to add one field to Sales Order screen under Total Cubic Size and got stuck.

In Form Plugin our code is as below

#region UI
JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Controls.NumericEditor numTotalQuantity = new JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Controls.NumericEditor();
Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraLabel lblTotalQuantity = new Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraLabel();

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)numTotalQuantity).BeginInit();
numTotalQuantity.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Right;
numTotalQuantity.Location = new Point(frmSalesOrders.TotalWeightNumericEditor.Location.X, frmSalesOrders.TotalCubicNumericEditor.Location.Y);
numTotalQuantity.Name = "numTotalQuantity";
numTotalQuantity.Size = frmSalesOrders.TotalWeightNumericEditor.Size;
numTotalQuantity.DecimalPlaces = 2;
numTotalQuantity.Appearance = frmSalesOrders.TotalWeightNumericEditor.Appearance;

lblTotalQuantity.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Right;
lblTotalQuantity.Location = new Point(frmSalesOrders.lblTotalWeight.Location.X, frmSalesOrders.lblTotalCubic.Location.Y);
lblTotalQuantity.Name = "lblTotalQuantity";
lblTotalQuantity.Size = frmSalesOrders.lblTotalWeight.Size;
lblTotalQuantity.Text = "Total Qty.";
lblTotalQuantity.Appearance = frmSalesOrders.lblTotalWeight.Appearance;

frmSalesOrders.UltraPanel1.ClientArea.Controls.Add(lblTotalQuantity);
frmSalesOrders.UltraPanel1.ClientArea.Controls.Add(numTotalQuantity);

((System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize)numTotalQuantity).EndInit();

frmSalesOrders.Manager.MakeReadOnly(numTotalQuantity, true);
#endregion

Can you please help us getting the field in that area?

By the looks of it you are adding your controls to the wrong control i.e. Ultrapanel1, below is the lines from InitializeComponent for the form

Code: Select all

this.TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(this.TotalCubicNumericEditor, 5, 5);
this.TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(this.TotalWeightNumericEditor, 5, 4);


for adding controls to a Tab Layout see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotne ... esktop-6.0

Thanks Stuart,

I tried but still could not make it show on Sales Order screen under Total Cubic Size

Can I suggest you post the actual plugin as an attachment, is difficult to try and give advice against code in a forum post.

[Mike.Sheen]

is difficult to try and give advice against code in a forum post.

And code not formatted / marked up.

[perry]

It's either the point or the parent control.

It is easier to use an existing control as anchor point like

Code: Select all

  .Location = New Point(soform.grdTotals.Location.X - 100, soform.grdTotals.Location.Y)

and add to its parent control like this

Code: Select all

soform.grdTotals.Parent.Controls.Add(FxTotal)

complete code below

Code: Select all

Dim FxTotal As New JiwaApplication.Controls.NumericEditor
            CType(FxTotal, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize).BeginInit()

            With FxTotal
                .Location = New Point(soform.grdTotals.Location.X - 100, soform.grdTotals.Location.Y)
                .Appearance = soform.DebtorCreditLimitNumericEditor.Appearance
                .Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.None
                .Name = "FX Total"
                .Enabled = False
                .Size = New Size(80, soform.DebtorCreditLimitNumericEditor.Height)
                .Anchor = System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right
            End With
            Dim FXTotalLabel = New Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraLabel
            With FXTotalLabel
                .Location = New System.Drawing.Point(FxTotal.Location.X - 80, FxTotal.Location.Y)
                .Appearance = soform.lblReference.Appearance
                .Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.None
                .Name = "FXTotalLabel"
                .Size = New Size(70, FxTotal.Height)
                .Text = "FX Total"
                .Anchor = System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right
            End With
            soform.grdTotals.Parent.Controls.Add(FxTotal)
            soform.grdTotals.Parent.Controls.Add(FXTotalLabel)

Thanks Stuart/Mike, i have attached the plugin.

I will try Perry's suggestion as well

[SBarnes]

There is are two reasons why your plugin is not working the first is that you need a a form reference to the sales order form under the forms references on the plugin, without it your code is not ever being called as Jiwa doesn't know that it should run you plugin code when the sales order form is loaded like below

Your second problem was the code had the wrong values for adding the controls to the table layout it should be like below

Code: Select all

  frmSalesOrders.TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(lblTotalQuantity, 4, 6);
            frmSalesOrders.TableLayoutPanel1.Controls.Add(numTotalQuantity, 5, 6);


The final result is

In the future to check that things are running put the the two lines below in the setup function of the plugin and have Visual Studio launch to see that things are executing and hence the reason I said post the entire plugin as just seeing the code was never going to find the main issue for why this was not working.

Code: Select all

System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();

Thank you so so much Stuart for your help.
