Waldo Dynamics NAV Notepad (WaldoNavPad) v3.1

So if i have to use waldo then i have to make sure our clients have either framework 1.1 or 2.0; is that right?

@Garak, could you please illustrate a bit more as what you are saying.
Do you mean to say that we could use Type Library File instead of dll.

Any code snippet that could help?

So i have managed to register waldonavpad.dll successfully. I want to share the code, though there are many things that i have to recorrect in the code but still it work.

Code: Select all

recOCXDLLSetup.GET;
recOCXDLLSetup.CALCFIELDS("Notepad DLL");
IF NOT(recOCXDLLSetup."Notepad DLL".HASVALUE) THEN
  ERROR('Cannot find %1 in %2',recOCXDLLSetup."Notepad DLL",recOCXDLLSetup.TABLECAPTION);

ltxtFile := 'c:\windows\system32\' + recOCXDLLSetup."Notepad Name";
recOCXDLLSetup."Notepad DLL".EXPORT(ltxtFile,FALSE);

CommandProcessor := ENVIRON('ComSpec');
BatchFileName := 'ddxmit01.bat';
BatchFile.TEXTMODE(TRUE);
BatchFile.QUERYREPLACE(FALSE);
BatchFile.CREATE(BatchFileName);
BatchFile.WRITE('@ECHO OFF');
BatchFile.WRITE('C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regasm.exe ' +'"' + ltxtFile + '"');
BatchFile.WRITE('PAUSE');
BatchFile.CLOSE;
SHELL(CommandProcessor,'/c',BatchFileName);

Hi,

I am done with .dll Registration at runtime (see previous posting)
I have imported the .fob file that has all the demo objects.
Compiled them all, they all compiled, that means my .dll is registered.. right..

but somehow when i run the TestNavPad codunit its pops up with this error

---------------------------
Microsoft Dynamics NAV
---------------------------
This message is for C/AL programmers:

Could not create an instance of the OLE control or Automation server identified by
GUID={334309EB-4AA6-497C-BABF-2AFDA61317EC} 1.0:{1B883E97-B2CB-48CF-8B47-87AAA589C289}:'WaldoNavPad'.WaldoNavPad.
Check that the OLE control or Automation server is correctly installed and registered.

---------------------------
OK

Am i missing anything?

Can you select the navpad when you browse through your automations?

ckndr47 · **Posted:** Mon Aug 20, 2007 7:02 pm

Yeah i could select; i really dont know whts wrong...

Sorry guys; i am finally done with the code.

The .dll registration n code was not correct; although i was registering the dll but i missed one thing in the code that is to include /codebase in the regasm.

Thanks garak its from ur code that i got idea of including codebase and it worked.

I will post updated code shortly.

We're 3 months later and still haven't had your statement, man :mrgreen:

@Waldo

The pieces of text will be cut of at a "Space" or "Carriage Return".

This is not working over here.

I have a field of type "Text" with the length of 80.
I set "WaldoNavPad.TextFieldLength := 80;"
When I import a Text, the text is cut exactly after 80 character, even if there is a Space on position 75.

Can you please give me a hint on that?

Thanks,
Rolf

hm, strange ... never experienced it before.

If you give me the objects and text (via pm), I'll have a look at it when I get the chance.

Now, I have to say, in the first version of the navpad I noticed a bug when cutting off the text. This only happened occasionally. I added some kind of procedure to the dll, but since then, I also have the habbit to set the TextFieldLength about 5 or 10 characters less then the actual fieldlength. May be you can try this as well?

I know this workaround shouldn' t be definite, so I would really like to receive the code and text you're testing with.

At least, thanks for your interest :wink:

Hi,

I think I can not send you my objects via PM. I don't seen an option to make an attachment.

I can reproduce the problem with your Demo-Objekts when using the following string:
123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567 8901234567890

There is a Space on Position 238 but the text is cut on Position 240.

Im running on Navision 4 SP2 on Windows XP SP2.

Hi,

me again :mrgreen:

I did another test. When using a string like that it works correctly:
123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789 123456789

Maybe the NavPad has a Problem, when the first part of the string is extremly long.

By the way:
Is there a possibility to save the size and position of the NavPad Window?

Regards,
Rolf

That is a good suggestion. Never thought of this.
It is not possible in the current release, but I will try to build it in the next one.

I have re-installed XP but now my WaldoNavPad v3 doesn't work anymore. It's long time since I installed it and forgot how to do it. Hope someone will post a easy step-list so I will get access to my long-text again.

Please help

Seems you used an earlier version of WaldoNavPad.

You'll have to re-evaluate your code, I'm afraid...
