We have a custom RTC add in (a schedule control) and need to be able to navigate to another page from it (for instance, when the user wants to view appointment data).

Currently I'm creating a new process with a file name that reads something like this "DynamicsNAV://server/service/company/runpage?page=50100&bookmark=MyBookmarkKey"
However, this is opening a new copy of the RTC, and is causing us issues.

We need to be able to navigate to a different page in the same copy of the RTC from inside a custom add in.

Can someone explain how my C# add in can send a command back to the RTC and tell it to navigate to a different page?

Thanks.

There is a trigger on NAV page called OnControlAddIn (Index, Data)

You can call that from C# and pass values and in NAV add code to this trigger to open the required page.

Your code in C# will look something like this

this.RaiseControlAddInEvent(index, data);



In NAV you can add code
if Index is 10, then
Page.runmodal(10);

By the way in NAV 2013 you can create your own custom events and they will appear in NAV as triggers and do much more with that.

Excellent. Thanks for your help. This worked a treat.

If you use a linklabel in your addin you just can use your link that you created, no need to create a new process and run that. that works fine and opens in the same instance.
