Close Configurator via Code

Epicor ERP 10
, , ,

I have a product configurator that I would like to close/exit automatically via code based on selections made by a user. So basically mimic the same function as the red cross button at the top-right corner of our screens. But I have been unable to use Environment.Exit(), Application.Exit() and Application.ExitThread() successfully as they close not just the configurator but the whole epicor application. Is there a way I can achieve this in c# in the configurator. Essentially a way to mimic the red cross button to close application in code will work too but I don’t know how to go about it.

Does anyone have any idea how to go about it?

This should work in a form customization.

this.csm.PersonalizeCustomizeManager.TopControl.FindForm().Close();

Thanks Jeremy, but I tried it doesn’t work because in this case “this” points to the TemporaryPageEventCollection instance and not the form itself.

You can create a class variable in the InitializeCustomCode method. Then just use the variable to call form.Close()

System.Windows.Forms.Form form;

public void InitializeCustomCode()
{
		// ** Wizard Insert Location - Do not delete 'Begin/End Wizard Added Variable Initialization' lines **
		// Begin Wizard Added Variable Initialization
		// End Wizard Added Variable Initialization
		// Begin Wizard Added Custom Method Calls
		// End Wizard Added Custom Method Calls

        form = this.csm.PersonalizeCustomizeManager.TopControl.FindForm();
}

You can’t customize a configurator screen.

If you have a control placed on the configurator page you should still be able to access the form methods however. The example below uses a group box.

var getfrm = (Ice.Lib.Framework.EpiGroupBox)Inputs.Section1.Control;
var frm = (getfrm.Parent).Parent.FindForm();

Thanks Evan!! That seems to work. I added frm.Close(); method after your code and it closes the form but its giving me the following error right after it closes the form:

Application Error

Does this have to do with the event handler? If yes, is there a way to dispose it?

Pretty sure you need to use the frm.Dispose() before the frm.Close() or frm.CloseOnFormCancel()

MainController.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker(MainController.Close));
