WebBrowser Control - auf Form?

Matthias Müller

Hallo zusammen,

mal wieder eine Spezialität:

Kann man ein WebBrowser-Control auf eine eigens erstellte Form bringen?

Viele Grüße

Dieser Frage schließe ich mich doch glatt an.

Hi Matthias,
The SwissAddonFramework.UI.Components.Windows.SAPDotNetForm class can be used to display a form that can host .NET controls in Business One. The SAPDotNetForm class is abstract so you must create a class that derives from it. This can be made in "Global methods and variables" under coresuite customize -> Extended code.
We can add the following simple class:

public class CustomDotNetForm : SwissAddonFramework.UI.Components.Windows.SAPDotNetForm
{
public CustomDotNetForm()
: base(true, "myCustomForm", SwissAddonFramework.Utils.UniqueStringGenerator.Next())
{
}
}

With this in place, we can reference the CustomDotNetForm from any customize rule. Note that SAPDotNetForm derives from UserControl, so you can add controls to it etc.
Example:

CustomDotNetForm customDotNetForm = new CustomDotNetForm();
customDotNetForm.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1024, 768);

customDotNetForm.Text = "This is the window title";
// Add code to place controls to the form...

// Dispay the form inside SAP
customDotNetForm.LoadToSap();

Refer to the coresuite framework documentation/samples for further info about SAPDotNetForm.
Kind regards,
Anders Olsson

Hi Anders,

Thank you for this example.

maybe you have even an extended code?

with

string website = "www.google.de";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("iexplore.exe", website);

I can directly open the browser with the url.

I just do not know how I open the browser in the form :(

Hi Anders,

thanks a lot - is working fine - but how can i add an item such as a TextEdit or better a WebbrowserControl?

Best regards

Hi guys,

Adding a .NET TextBox control is straight-forward enough:

customDotNetForm.Controls.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox());

But if you try to do the same with a WebBrowser control

customDotNetForm.Controls.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser());

... you will get an error: "ActiveX control 'GUID' cannot be instantiated because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment."

I can't give you a straight answer as to how to solve that, but if you need a solution please contact coresystems support and we can help you look into that further.
