In Epicor 9, if I remove it from the form load, the change log button does not appear.
In Epicor 10, I changed all of the Erp.UI.App to Ice.UI.App and I get the following error when tring to compile:
Here is the latest code giving me the constructor error:

Theodore -
Thank you for being patient with me. Like I said I am brand new to C#. If you could help out just a bit more it would be great.
Obviously, I am having a problem with the following line of code:
Ice.UI.App.ChgLogEntry.ChgLogArgs lfo = new Ice.UI.App.ChgLogEntry.ChgLogArgs("DMRHead", edvDMRHead.dataView[edvDMRHead.Row]["RowIdent"].ToString(), true);
I know you said I need a fourth argument but I do not even know where to begin looking for what that should be.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
The four required arguments are in my last post, you are missing systemCode.
Change
Ice.UI.App.ChgLogEntry.ChgLogArgs lfo = new Ice.UI.App.ChgLogEntry.ChgLogArgs("DMRHead", edvDMRHead.dataView[edvDMRHead.Row]["RowIdent"].ToString(), true);
to
Ice.UI.App.ChgLogEntry.ChgLogArgs lfo = new Ice.UI.App.ChgLogEntry.ChgLogArgs("Erp", "DMRHead", edvDMRHead.dataView[edvDMRHead.Row]["RowIdent"].ToString(), true);
OK … changed that. Now I am getting the following compile error
Error: CS1502 - line 115 (311) - The best overloaded method match for ‘Ice.UI.App.ChgLogEntry.ChgLogArgs.ChgLogArgs(string, string, System.Guid, bool)’ has some invalid arguments
Error: CS1503 - line 115 (311) - Argument 3: cannot convert from ‘string’ to ‘System.Guid’
My bad forgot to change that, should be this.
Ice.UI.App.ChgLogEntry.ChgLogArgs lfo = new Ice.UI.App.ChgLogEntry.ChgLogArgs("Erp", "DMRHead", Guid.Parse(edvDMRHead.dataView[edvDMRHead.Row]["RowIdent"].ToString()), true);Almost there. That got it to compile. I have a change logs data directive setup and when I try to view it from the DMR Processing form, I get the following:
Theodore -
I got it. Changed “RowIdent” to “SysRowID” and it works.
Thank you for all of your help today.
Hi @MLW8595,
i am trying to implement your code in my test environment, did you add custom assembly reference to your form?

For Epicor 10 add a reference to
Ice.UI.ChgLogEntry

thanks for your reply mate, i have done that already and still asking for missing assembly reference
also tried without the [App], no luck
Try adding a reference to this one also.
Ice.Adapters.ChgLog

that is it, wonderful and many thanks, code compiled 
the button has not appeared yet, but i will work on that, appreciate your help mate
Thanks to all who help me work through this. For anyone else interested, below is the final code that compiled and worked for both DMR Processing and DMR Tracker.

Good Afternoon,
I got this working for the most part via Michael’s and Theodore’s code above (thank you!), but now I’m stuck. I want to view change log on the customer part cross reference program. I have a data directive setup and working on the CustXPrt table to log changes and it works. However, when the new change log toolbar icon is clicked in the customer part cross reference program, it doesn’t bring up the changed records. The one thing a little different with this change log on the CustXPrt is that it has a combination key getting stored in Key1 of the change log table, instead of just the sales order number (i.e., cust id ~ part no ~ cust part no ~ custxprt guid).
Could this be making a difference?
I don’t understand how this code works to bring up the right change log record(s) when it seems to be using the calling record guid to get it:
public ChgLogArgs(string systemCode, string tableName, Guid rowIdent, bool showAsModal);
In the trace I have this that looks alot like the trace looks in sales order entry when I get the change log to come up with records. Any suggestions?
Sales order entry change log comes up ok, here’s similar trace:
Thanks!
Nancy
Thanks to everyone for posting this, I was able to get this to work.
A few notes:
-Version: 10.2.700 Classic UI
-I tried commenting out the OnLoad Event for Adding the ChgLogButton() and the button did not load. So I assume it has to be in both OnLoad and InitialzeCustomCode()
-The ‘Starburst’ does not show on the button when there is a change log, any idea how to add that functionality?
-Kinetic UI Fun Fact: The Change Log button already exists, not sure if it just looks for any Change Log records and if it exists, then adds the button or if change log exists for all forms.
Thanks again!
First of all thank you for providing this. I am at a total loss as to why Epicor did not think it important to include a change log for DMR Processing - one of the most important menu items for tracking quality changes. In any case your code worked for our 10.2.300.23 environment. Planning to migrate us to 10.2.700.23 this fall and hopefully the code will hold up unless Epicor has added a change log since.
My issue with this change log is that it does not have the ability to capture dates, numbers, or Char fields. I have added a bunch of UD fields all of which are selected in the Data Directive BPM yet when I review the change log none of these fields show up. I cannot figure out why. Things like drop down text boxes, check boxes, and ShortChar fields all get captured in the change log, but dates and Char fields do not. Any thoughts as to why?
Not a code expert, but if I had to venture a guess the issue lies here in the code:
Guid.Parse(edvDMRHead.dataView[edvDMRHead.Row][“SysRowID”].ToString()), true);
Perhaps the date fields cannot be converted to string? If that is the issue with date fields not showing up in the change log it still does not explain Char fields (Comments text boxes for example).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
