CDC Software Pivotal CRM 6.0: How to execute another client task method with parameters.

Yes it is possible to call another client task method with parameters.
It can be useful for specific things like using Client Forms as custom dialogs.

The caller:

// Get action service
IActionService actionService = ClientContext.ClientAPIService.GetService<IActionService>();

// Create action target object
IClientTaskActionTarget clientTaskActionTarget = actionService.CreateActionTarget<IClientTaskActionTarget>();
clientTaskActionTarget.ClientTask = "MyCompany.PivotalProject.Client";
clientTaskActionTarget.ClientTaskMethod = "MyMethod";
clientTaskActionTarget.Parameters = new object[] { 
 "parameter 1", "parameter 2", "parameter 3"
};

// Create action and execute it.
IAction action = actionService.CreateAction("MyActionName", ActionCommand.Show, ActionContent.ClientTask, clientTaskActionTarget);
actionService.ExecuteAction(action);

The calling method:

public void MyMethod(string p1, string p2, string p3){
 // ... Do something
}

CDC Software Pivotal CRM 6.0: Adding custom button to buttons bar.

Someone asked me today how to add custom button bar button to a client form.
Very simple :)

// Get action service
IActionService actionService = ClientContext.ClientAPIService.GetService<IActionService>();

// Create client task action target
IClientTaskActionTarget clientTaskActionTarget = actionService.CreateActionTarget<IClientTaskActionTarget>();
clientTaskActionTarget.ClientTask = "Pivotal.Client.FormTask";
clientTaskActionTarget.ClientTaskMethod = "CustomButtonClickHandler";

// Create action            
IAction action = actionService.CreateAction("CustomButtonClickActionName", ActionCommand.Show, ActionContent.ClientTask, clientTaskActionTarget);

// Create custom button (requires Pivotal.Engine.UI.DataTypes.dll)
ButtonBarButton button = new ButtonBarButton(){
 Name = "CustomButton",
 DisplayName = "My Custom Button",
 Enabled = true
};

// Set custom button action
button.SetAction(action);

// Add custom button to a center content buttons bar
this.ButtonBar.Buttons.Add(button);

CDC Software Pivotal CRM 6.0: Using Pivotal Input Dialog.

Pivotal Input Dialog may be useful if you want to ask user some input parameters without creating a new client form.
I didn't find any documentation about how exactly to use Pivotal Input Dialog.
So I'm going to publish some code examples here how to use it.

Required dlls:

Pivotal.Engine.Client.Services.Interfaces.dll
Pivotal.Engine.UI.DataTypes.dll

// Get input dialog service
IInputDialogService inputDialogService = ClientContext.ClientAPIService.GetService<IInputDialogService>();
DialogParam dialogParameter = new DialogParam();
dialogParameter.FormParams = new CdcSoftware.Pivotal.Engine.UI.DataTypes.FormParams.InputParamsCollection();

// 1. Foreign Key
Table companyTable = this.SystemClient.UserProfile.GetMetaItem<Table>("Company");
InputParam foreignKeyInputParam = new InputParam()
{
    Label = "Company",
    Type = InputParamType.RForeignField,
    IsRequired = true,
    Enums = companyTable.Id
};
dialogParameter.FormParams.Add(foreignKeyInputParam);

// 2. Single value fields: Date, Boolean, Integer, Double and etc
InputParam dateInputParam = new InputParam() { Label = "Date", Type = InputParamType.Date };
dialogParameter.FormParams.Add(dateInputParam);

InputParam boolInputParam = new InputParam() { Label = "Boolean", Type = InputParamType.Boolean };
dialogParameter.FormParams.Add(boolInputParam);

InputParam intInputParam = new InputParam() { Label = "Integer", Type = InputParamType.Integer };
dialogParameter.FormParams.Add(intInputParam);

// 2. Combo, ListBox
object[] comboValues = new object[] { "value 1", "value 2" };
InputParam comboInputParam = new InputParam() { Label = "Date", Type = InputParamType.RCombo, Enums = comboValues };
dialogParameter.FormParams.Add(comboInputParam);

// Set dialog type
dialogParameter.DialogType = ModalDialogTypeEnum.modalDialogParamsAndDescription;

// Show dialog
inputDialogService.ShowDialog(dialogParameter, "Title");

// Get parameter values
if (foreignKeyInputParam.Value != null)
{
    Id companyId = Id.Create(foreignKeyInputParam.Value);
}

if (intInputParam.Value != null)
{
    int intValue = TypeConvert.ToInt32(intInputParam.Value);
}

You can discover other input parameters types by yourself.

CDC Software Pivotal CRM 6.0: How to get acces to SearchView.SearchData.ResultsViewControl control.

We can't modify SearchView.SearchData.ResultsViewControl in a usual way because it has an internal get accessor.
But we can use reflection.

Here is an example how to change SearchView rows text color deppending on received data.

1. Add the following dll references to your project:

• Pivotal.CommonControls.dll
• CdcSoftware.Ios.UI.dll

2. Register "OnSearchCompleted" notification event handler:

[NotificationEvent("OnSearchCompleted", Table = "Support_Incident")]
public void OnSupportIncidentSearchCompleted(object notifyParams)
{
 ...
}

3. Get DataGridView control via reflection.

CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.ResultsViewControl resultsViewControl = searchView.SearchData.GetType().GetProperty("ResultsViewControl").GetValue(searchView.SearchData, null) as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.ResultsViewControl;
if (resultsViewControl != null)
{
CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView dataGridView = resultsViewControl.GetType().GetField("_dataGridView", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(resultsViewControl) as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView;
}

4. Modify you want.

The full code example:

[NotificationEvent("OnSearchCompleted", Table = "Support_Incident")]
        public void OnSupportIncidentSearchCompleted(object notifyParams)
        {
            ISearchView searchView = ClientContext.ClientAPIService.GetActiveContentObject() as ISearchView;
            if (searchView != null)
            {
                //Get ResultsViewControl
                CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.ResultsViewControl resultsViewControl = searchView.SearchData.GetType().GetProperty("ResultsViewControl").GetValue(searchView.SearchData, null) as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.ResultsViewControl;

                if (resultsViewControl != null)
                {
                    //Get DataGridView control
                    CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView dataGridView = resultsViewControl.GetType().GetField("_dataGridView", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(resultsViewControl) as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView;
                    
                    //Attach RowPostPaint event
                    dataGridView.RowPostPaint += new DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventHandler((object sender, DataGridViewRowPostPaintEventArgs e) =>
                    {
                        CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView pivotalDataGridView = sender as CdcSoftware.Pivotal.CommonControls.PivotalDataGridView;
                        if (dataGridView.Columns.Contains("Status_Id@Rn_Descriptor"))
                        {
                            //Color closed incidents
                            string columnTextValue = Convert.ToString(pivotalDataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells["Status_Id@Rn_Descriptor"].Value);
                            if (columnTextValue.Contains("Closed"))
                            {
                                pivotalDataGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
                            }
                        }
                    });
                }
            }
        }

Another way to preview reports and other file types in Pivotal Client.

Another trivial way to display reports and other file types saved in database in Pivotal Client.

Scenario: display report as PDF file in Pivotal Client by pressing Task Pad item.

Client Task (click event handler):

// Get file content from server
byte[] fileContent = Globals.SystemClient.ExecuteServerTask("Server Task Name", "GetReportContent", new Type[] { typeof(Id) }, new object[] { recordId }) as byte[];

// Create temp file name
string fileName = String.Format("{0}.{1}", Guid.NewGuid(), ".pdf");
string tempFilePath = Path.Combine(System.IO.Path.GetTempPath(), fileName);

using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(fileContent))
{
 using(FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(tempFilePath, FileMode.Create, System.IO.FileAccess.Write))
 {
  stream.WriteTo(fileStream);
  fileStream.Flush();
  fileStream.Close();
    
  // Open file using windows shell
  Process.Start(tempFilePath);
 }
}

Server Task:

[TaskExecute]
public byte[] GetReportContent(Id recordId)
{
 try
 {
  SystemReport report = this.SystemServer.GetMetaItem<SystemReport>("Report Name") as SystemReport;
  ReportRunner reportRunner = this.SystemServer.CreateReportRunner(report);
  reportRunner.ReportOutputFormat = ReportOutputFormat.Pdf;
  return reportRunner.Run(ReportFilter.SingleRow, recordId, null);
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
  throw new PivotalApplicationCoreException(ex.Message, ex);
 }
}

How to send emails with styles and embedded images using Pivotal API.

A lot of work.
A lot of projects.
But I've got some free time for Pivotal.

Here is an example how to send formatted emails with styles and embedded images via Pivotal API:

Server Task code:

CdcSoftware.Pivotal.Engine.Mail.EmailMessage emailMessage =
   this.SystemServer.CreateMessage();
emailMessage.To.Add("myemail@email.com");
emailMessage.MimeHtmlBodyFileName = @"C:\Email.htm";
emailMessage.Subject = "Test";
emailMessage.Body = "";
emailMessage.Send();

Email.htm file content:

<html>
 <head>
  <style type="text/css">
   body { 
    background-color:Green;
    font-size: 3em;
   }
  </style>
 </head>
<body>
 Test email:
 <img src="image.jpg"/>
</body>
</html>

Of course, you can save html email templates in database, retrieve their content, save as temp file and then use the code above.
Also it is recommended to use SP 10 or later.

Using custom grids in Client Forms.

Sometimes we need to build our custom grid to display/manipulate different data.
We can use a standart DataGridView control from System.Windows.Forms.dll, but it doesn't match to Pivotal color scheme.
Therefore there is DataGridViewWithStyle pivotal control in CdcSoftware.Ios.UI.dll that looks like a common Pivotal secondary control.

Here is an example how to use it:

1. Add PivotalCustomControlContainer to a client form
2. Write some client code in form client task:

// Get container control
PivotalCustomControlContainer customGridContainer = this.FormControl.GetControlByName("CustomGridContainer") as PivotalCustomControlContainer;

// Declare custom grid properties and columns
DataGridViewWithStyle customGrid = new DataGridViewWithStyle();
customGrid.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
customGrid.AllowUserToAddRows = false;
customGrid.AllowUserToDeleteRows = false;
customGrid.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;
customGrid.Columns.Add(new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn() { Name = "Id", HeaderText = "Id", Visible = false });
customGrid.Columns.Add(new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn() { Name = "Name", HeaderText = "Name", ReadOnly = true });
customGrid.Columns.Add(new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn() { Name = "Age", HeaderText = "Age", ReadOnly = true });

// Add custom grid to the container
customGridContainer.CustomControl = customGrid;

// Populate grid data
this.PopulateGrid(customGrid);

Thats all.

CDC Software Pivotal CRM 6.0: How to open window of custom size.

To open forms in popup or modal window we usually use ShowForm method from Foundation Library:

Globals.ShoForm(formOrTableName, recordId, parameterList, actionTargetWindow);

But it opens forms with a default size.
To open forms with the custom size we need to define TargetWindowProperties of the action.

Here is an example:

// Get the instance of ActionService
IActionService actionService = ClientContext.ClientAPIService.GetService();

// Initialize form action target request
IFormActionTarget formActionTarget = actionService.CreateActionTarget();
formActionTarget.Form = "My Form";
formActionTarget.Table = "Support_Incident";            
formActionTarget.RecordId = recordId;
formActionTarget.ParameterList = parameterList;

// Set target window properties
ITargetWindowProperties windowProperties = actionService.CreateNewWindowProperties();
windowProperties.UseDefaultSize = false;
windowProperties.Resizable = true;

// Set the custom window size
windowProperties.Width = 600;
windowProperties.Height = 600;

// Create action to open a popup window
IAction action = actionService.CreateAction(string.Empty, ActionCommand.Show, ActionContent.Record, formActionTarget);
action.TargetWindow = ActionTargetWindow.Popup;
action.TargetWindowProperties = windowProperties;

// Execute action
actionService.ExecuteAction(action);

CDC Software Pivotal CRM 6.0: How to change form title programmatically.

It's not easy as I thought.

I need to change a new form title that always set to "New".
And I don't want to change language strings and add parameters like "My new %1"...

FormView.FormTitle is read only property.
Also, FormView class marked as internal class that implements IFormView interface.
So, we can't access directly to to the internal class from another assembly.
But there is a nice solution that always works - Reflection.

 public override void OnFormInitialized()
{
  //Get user defined form title
  string userDefinedFormTitle = Convert.ToString(this.FormControl.WindowsControl.GetType().GetProperty("FormTitle").GetValue(this.FormControl.WindowsControl, null));

            
  //Set new form title
  this.FormView.GetType().GetProperty("FormTitle").SetValue(this.FormView, originalFormTitle, null);
 }

Reflection rules!

ASP.NET MVC: Disable submit button after click when using Microsoft MVC client validation library.

If you want to disable submit button after it has been clicked you can use this jQuery code:

$("form").bind("submit", function (e) {
   // On submit disable form submit button
   $('input[type=submit]', this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
});

But if you use MVC client validation

<% Html.EnableClientValidation(); %>

and the form has validation errors, the submit button will be disabled anyway.

So, we need to modify our submit form handler function to check if the form has errors.

$("form").bind("submit", function (e) {
   var mvcValidationContext = e.srcElement['__MVC_FormValidation'];
   if (mvcValidationContext) {
      var formValidationErrorsCount = mvcValidationContext.validate('submit').length;
      if (formValidationErrorsCount == 0) {
         // On submit disable form submit button
         $('input[type=submit]', this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
      }
   }
});

Thats all.

CDC Software Pivotal CRM 6.0: How to change rows style in PivotalSearchResultGrid

Here is an example we can access to PivotalSearchResultsGrid rows.
Lets color all rows that contain specific Company_Name value.
First of all we need to add DataBindingComplete event handler to the PivotalSearchResultsGrid control.
To do it we need to override OnFormInitialized method that fires after the form has been drawn and all the data has been loaded and bound:

public override void OnFormInitialized()
{
    PivotalSearchResultsGrid mySearchResultsGrid =   this.FormControl.GetControlByName("CompaniesPivotalSearchResultsGrid") as PivotalSearchResultsGrid;
    if (mySearchResultsGrid != null)
    {
        //Get a grid control from the PivotalSearchResultsGrid
        DataGridView grid = mySearchResultsGrid.ResultsViewControl.Controls[0].Controls[0] as DataGridView;
        //Handle DataBindingComplete event that fires when the content DataSource changed
        grid.d.DataBindingComplete += new DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventHandler(dataGridView1_DataBindingComplete);
    }
}

Than just implement the dataGridView1_DataBindingComplete event handler:

private void dataGridView1_DataBindingComplete(object sender, DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
{
    DataGridView grid = sender as DataGridView;
    for (int i = 0; i < grid.Rows.Count; i++ )
    {
        DataGridViewRow row = grid.Rows[i];
        //Access to row data
        string companyName = row.Cells["Company_Name"].Value.ToString();
        if (companyName == "Microsoft")
        {
            //Paint row in Blue
            row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.Blue;
        }
    }
}

Thats all.
Enjoy with Pivotal 6.0.

CDC Software Pivotal 6.0: How to prevent to open record on double click in PivotalSearchResultsGrid control.

This is the way to remove an original CellMouseDoubleClick event handler to prevent to open records on double click in PivotalSearchResultsGrid.

Add CdcSoftware.Ios.dll reference to you Client Task project. 

Add DisableSearchResultGridDoubleClick function call in your Client Task in OnFormInitialized handler:

{
 PivotalSearchResultsGrid clientDetectionSearchResultsGrid = this.FormControl.GetControlByName("ClientDetectionPivotalSearchResultsGrid") as PivotalSearchResultsGrid;
 if (clientDetectionSearchResultsGrid != null)
 {
  DisableSearchResultGridDoubleClick(clientDetectionSearchResultsGrid);
 }
}

private void DisableSearchResultGridDoubleClick(PivotalSearchResultsGrid grid)
{
 if (grid != null)
        {
         FieldInfo eventHandlerInfo = grid.ResultsViewControl.GetType().GetField("CellMouseDoubleClick", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
                object oHandler = eventHandlerInfo.GetValue(grid.ResultsViewControl);

                EventHandler<cdcsoftware.iaf.ios.messaging.iafmessageeventargs> eventHandler = oHandler as EventHandler<cdcsoftware.iaf.ios.messaging.iafmessageeventargs>;

                if (eventHandler != null)
                {
                    grid.ResultsViewControl.CellMouseDoubleClick -= eventHandler;
                }
            }
        }
}

MS CRM 4.0: How to hide IFRAME padding in CRM forms

This is the way to remove iframe padding programmatically.
Add setIFrameSource function to your crm form OnLoad event.

function onCrmFormLoaded() {
 // ...

 //Display related records in iframe
 setIFrameSource();
 
 // ...
}

function setIFrameSource() {
 if (crmForm.ObjectId) {
  // Generate url to display related records
  var url = 'areas.aspx?oId=' + crmForm.ObjectId + '&oType=10000&security=852023&tabSet=new_new_myentity=entityA_new_entityB';
  // Set iframe source
  crmForm.all.IFRAME_entity.src = url;
  // Remove padding when iframe is loaded
  crmForm.all.IFRAME_entity.attachEvent('onreadystatechange', onIFrameReady);
 }
 else {
  // Hide iframe
  crmForm.all.IFRAME_entity.parentElement.parentElement.style.display = 'none';
 }
}

function onIFrameReady(e) {
 if (e.srcElement.readyState == 'complete') {
  var doc = e.srcElement.contentWindow.document;
  // Remove scrolling space
  doc.body.scroll = "no";
  // Remove crmGrid default padding
  doc.body.childNodes[0].rows[0].cells[0].style.padding = 0;
 }
}
