Hey all,

I am wondering if there is a way, using the BPM Data Form Designer, to add in custom fields.

For example, if I want to add a masked textbox (better yet, with right-click -> Open With capability) like a GL account, is this possible?

I am not sure if my question is very clear, but basically I want to emulate the GL Account field from the PO Release on a Data Form, and if I can get the mask and/or the drop down search that would be perfect.

Cheers,

Dave.

I believe that is a special control. If you open an existing screen that has that control you might be able to declare it in code and use it
Give it a go

You will likely have to bring in a dll in the customization screen with the custom control but should be very doable

Right click in the toolbar for controls and you can add in the glaccount control.
To make this work though you need to generate some data columns in the dataset for segvalue1-20
And define things like the book and COA.
But possible probably not as easy as it should be but that is a more advanced use case.

Cool, thanks for sharing that!  Is there a way to bring in Windows UI controls (like LinkLabel) or only Epi objects?

Those you can declare in Code, if you want to bring them in as a control drag and drop you'll likely have to add the DLL manually to your client folder (dirty) I don't recommend it.
