Jiwa Legacy Image Conversion

[SBarnes]

Hi All,

Given Jiwa 6 series keeps the image as a path to the image in IN_Main.Aux4 and Jiwa 7 keeps the image in the database, my question is will Jiwa 7 display the image if only Aux4 is filled in and the image field in the database is null.

I know there is a conversion plugin but this client has over 32,000 products that the plugin would have to convert which would certainly expand their database and probably take a while.

thanks

Nope.

EDIT: I see a plugin in your midst.

Thanks Scott,

Unfortunately the plugin won't be a very simple one as PictureContextMenuStrip is private for the inventory form so you have to go after the open dialog events to get around it and set the open dialog's tag to be the form so you can get back to the form then the inventory item and Aux4 after that.

The picture display should just involve capturing the read end event and setting the control appropriately.

During form setup, the private "PictureContextMenuStrip" is setup, and then the Picture control has it's ContextMenuStrip property set to it. You can therefore manipulate the ContextMenuStrip property of the control rather than the private "PictureContextMenuStrip" property.

Ok, Thanks Scott I'll have a look at that.

Hi Scott

Whilst you suggestion is correct and I can get to the PictureContextMenuStrip that way it doesn't unfortunately help much in that its actually the setup before that would need to be used to get in before Jiwa and perform your own event and the control is null because the setup hasn't happened.

The code below does get the result though.

Code: Select all

    public void Setup(JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.IJiwaForm JiwaForm, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin Plugin)
    {
      if(JiwaForm.GetType() == typeof(JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaInventoryUI.InventoryMaintenanceForm))
      {
         JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaInventoryUI.InventoryMaintenanceForm invform = (JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaInventoryUI.InventoryMaintenanceForm)JiwaForm;
         invform.DialogOpen.FileOk += openFileDialog_FileOk;   
         invform.DialogOpen.Tag = invform;
         //System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();
         //System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(invform.Picture.ContextMenuStrip.Name);
      }

    }
   
   
   private void openFileDialog_FileOk(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
   {
      System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog dialog = (System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog)sender;
      JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaInventoryUI.InventoryMaintenanceForm invform = (JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaInventoryUI.InventoryMaintenanceForm)dialog.Tag;
      //System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(dialog.FileName);
      invform.Inventory.Aux4 = dialog.FileName;
   
      //System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(invform.Inventory.Aux4);
      
   }

Again thanks for the help.
