.NET Forms in v3.10

gbastow

Hello,



I am trying to create an Addon that uses .NET forms. I am running B1 8.81 PL04 and v3.10 of the framework. When I create a new form and call form.LoadToSap() the frame shows but none of the contained controls are present. It appears InitializeComponent is not being called (in debug mode within Visual Studio I set a breakpoint within the method and it never gets reached).



I have built the sample COR_DotNetForms from Samples_SAP88 and it works as-is. However this appears to be built against the .NET 2.0 framework and use older versions of the 4 reference SAP and SWA DLLs. If I copy MyForm to may VS project I get the same behavior. Also, if I update the sample project to .NET 3.5 and update the project references to the newer DLLs the sample exhibits the same behavior I am seeing in my application.



Are there known issues with the framework v3.10 and .NET forms? I haven't been able to find anything specific in either these forums or the release notes posted.



I've included my class definition below. The calling code is:



[color=#2b91af]TestForm[/color] testForm = [color=blue]new[/color] [color=#2b91af]TestForm[/color]();

testForm.LoadToSap();





Any insight and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Regards,



Geoff

Hi,

are you compiling in x86 mode?

If not this might be the cause.



Furthermore, before calling the base.InitComponents() add a Dock like:



this.Dock = System.Windows.Form.DockStyle.Fill;

Hi Geoff,



In the InitComponents() method you must call InitializeComponent().

In your example you are calling InitComponents() recursively.
