The Custom Modal Dialog project contains an import package that provides sample code for calling a custom Aras form in a modal dialog. The sample code also shows how data can be passed from the custom form back to the calling method.
This project and the following release notes have been migrated from the old Aras Projects page.
| Release | Notes |
|---|---|
| v2.3 | Added a new action/method to demonstrate how to call a dialog that can be maximized. Tested in 11 SP12, but may work in 11 SP9-11. |
| v2.2 | Added field to demonstrate use of search dialog. Clicking the "Search Parameter 3" button programmatically calls the default Aras search dialog. Allows the user to search for a Part and populate the "Parameter 3" field with their selection. |
| v2.1 | Removed item_info from dialog form |
| v2.0 | Updated to work with the Aras 11.0 SP9+ tabbed client. |
| v1.0 | First release. Though built and tested using Aras 11.0 SP7, this project may function in older releases of Aras 11.0 and Aras 10.0. |
