Has anyone had a problem getting to controls in 10.1.600.4? I am trying to reference a grid view and for some reason, the customization properties doesn’t go down to the grid view. I attached some screen shots to show you a dashboard that I customized in 10.0 and has been upgraded to 10.1 and is working. However, if I were to recreate this one in 10.1 I couldn’t do it because I can’t get to the GUID for the grid view. (which is what I am doing because I am doing a similar thing in my new dashboard). Has anyone run into this before? Is there another way to get to the GUID of the control?
I called service, and they have to load it up to look at it, they didn’t have any quick fixes for me. (because I could very well be doing something wrong somehow)
It can be a pain sometimes trying to work with the different behavior of a
dashboard vs a normal form. Maybe once you get used to it, it’s better but
I just haven’t reached that point yet.
This is just the difference from 10.0 to 10.1. Both are dashboards. I don’t really do much with normal forms yet.
Is anyone else on 10.1.600.4? or something close? I would like to see if it’s just our system and something is wrong with the install or something, or if it’s a bug overall. I made the simplest dashboard possible with just PartNum and PartDescription from the part table. Then added it to a new dashboard and deployed and went to look in customization. It still won’t show any of the properties in the view list screen.
I spun our .600 server back up and checked. Yes, this is a bug. Call support and check to see if they have an SCR # on this one. They have a pile of bugs they’re working on and the sooner you report it the better chance you’ll see a fix in an upcoming patch.
Thanks. I’ve been working with support and they said it’s new find altogether. I just wanted to see if it had anything to do with our system specifically (like a bad install or something) or was an overall bug. You know how they get caught on weird details sometimes instead of what you want them to actually fix sometimes… They seem to think it’s an upgrade import problem since I was using an imported dashboard to compare apples to apples. I took some extra splainin’ to tell them that it’s an overall problem, not just on imports.
Anyone else willing to call this is to get more attention to it? I’ve got a PRB# which is PRB0186726.
So they called it a bug and have pushed it to development. When they get it fixed? Who knows. I want to keep going with my development, however I can’t get what I need (the GUID) in 10.1. The workaround that I am contemplating is doing the development in 10.0 and importing it to 10.1 which should work since the other stuff that I have made came through the upgrade fine, but that means recreating everything from 10.1 to 10.0 since I can’t go backwards, and making changes might be problematic going forward until the get a working patch.
So now I’m asking any of you programmers if there is some code I can put into a customization that returns the GUIDs for the controls that are on the screen. If I can get that in there, I can do what I need to do.
something similar to this, but in C#. I’ve been looking through the object explorer and can’t find anything that will do this.
You if you get a hold of the ListPanel there should be a Controls… Collection which contains all the Controls within the Panel. Then you can iterate through it until you find the gird.
Sorry about the reviving the old post, but my question is relating to this exact problem.
Can you (or someone) just give me a start on how I would accomplish this? We haven’t been able to upgrade yet, and I would reeaally like to be able to get to the grid controls on a dashboard.
Are you basically saying that I can get the properties to show up in a message box or something? I’m looking through the object explorer and I see codes for getting properties of the specific thing you already have access to, but I can’t find anything related to getting properties of children of the the views.
It’s a new one that I am trying to make (yes deployed, it will be updateable). Related to the radio buttons that I just figured out. I can get the radio buttons into a native form (UD08), but the filtering on native forms is a huge pain. Dashboards do a lot better job, so I would prefer to get the radio buttons in the dashboard. But the grid properties while customizing in dashboards don’t show up in 10.1.600.5 so I can’t get the GUID to set the controls up. For months now, I’ve just not done anything with grid controls in dashboards because of this problem, but I really would like to get this one to work. I just need to figure out how to force the GUID out of E-10 so I can set it up.
I guess worst case, I will use the filtering technique I tried out that hijacks the grid filter. That just sucks because you have to return all rows before using that, so performance will suffer.
