Hi Mike,

Is there a similar form to JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.SecurityUI.SetPermissions that is used for a Maintenance form to set permissions that can be use on a custom built process action form or is there a way to use JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.SecurityUI.SetPermissions to do it?

Thanks

If your form inherits from JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.ProcessAction.UserInterface then you get that all for free - you should see a Utilities tab on the ribbon and a Set Permissions group and tool, and when you click the tool it loads the set permissions form and handles everything for you.

Some of our forms (like sales order processing) which do inherit from JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.ProcessAction.UserInterface has explicit code to hide the Utilities tab because we figured there was not much point to setting permissions on that form - either you can load it or you cannot - but if we didn't do that, it would have the permissions capabilities exposed.

Hi Mike,

In a different plugin where I did a maintenance screen it as you said "all work for free" but not the process action, if I don't try and have some code to bring up the form on the process action nothing happens.

I'll go back and check everything and see if it works, the plugin in question is you CRM dashboard that I converted from vb.net to c# as a proof of concept for something I have to do for a customer that will involves graphs etc. but working with purchasing as I'm not keen on having to do it in VB. and also wanted to use it as a testing environment.

If I can't figure it out I'll post the plugin as the next post as I just wanted to know if the permissions will work as it will be necessary in the customers graph screen in terms of what can be seen.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

I've attached the plugin that won't allow setting of permissions currently it does nothing when you press the permissions button but if you uncomment the two sections with SetPermissionsForControls in them the screen will show up but it produces a duplicate key error when you try and save anything this is on Jiwa 7.182.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

This would now be under 7.185

This is caused by the BusinessLogic property of the form being null.

The tool click handler for the base form is a bit defensive and won't process the permission tool click if that is null - but it doesn't actually need it to be anything.
So, your work around is you set it to something - I downloaded your plugin and added this line to your Setup method of the CRMCS class, after the _ToDoList was created :

Code: Select all

base.BusinessLogic = _ToDoList; // Need to set BusinessLogic to something, or set permissions button won't do anything

And then it worked.

However, a new issue is revealed - when you save the permissions set, you'll get a duplicate key error. This is caused by the Dashboard controls having child controls which should be omitted from the permissionable controls, but are not and results in a duplicate key value as there are multiple controls with the same name for the same form.

I've logged DEV-6194 to address this.

And if you're bored, a while ago I wrote a dashboard (also in C#) and came up with a new pattern for handling the asynchronous nature which I think is a bit neater than the background worker - the code below is everything except the designer code. I wanted to spend a bit more time on it and eliminate the Tasks completely and use async await everywhere, but couldn't quite get that done in the time I had - Async spreads like a virus into all method signatures!

Code: Select all

Hi Mike,

Thanks, I'll have a look at the code, interestingly the duplicate error was what I was getting also when I had the permissions code I introduced uncommented also.

If I am reading your bug report correctly you are saying the if I don't use both JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDashboardUI.DashboardPanel and JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDashboardUI.IndicatorPanel on the form but just the standard infragistics controls it will all work (in theory)?

I think it would be safe to make that assumption - all other Jiwa forms besides the dashboard (which never had permissions enabled and thus was not tested for that) use standard infragistics controls, windows controls, farpoint spread controls, and so on without issue - It's just those two pesky controls DashboardPanel and IndicatorPanel.

DEV-6194 has now been filled and will be in the next Dev build - 7.00.186.00.

That's Excellent thanks.
