We are in the process of finally upgrading to 15.

I am wondering if there is a new preferred method of developing extenders or a replacement method to using OCXs? I would much prefer to use .Net

Any pointers or links to documentation would be much appreciated.

TIA

Thanks Nick

I am developing a custom web page making use of iBO.net. Ideally I would like to get details of the current contact during the page load event. I would like to know how you can access the current Contact Id obtained in the Customer portfolio.

I thought I would use the ID TRACKER Xtender which writes the contact id to a cookie. However ID TRACKER needs to be manually loaded in order for this to work. Is there a way to automatically load ID TRACKER as the user clicks the Customer tab in iMIS desktop?

We are going to look into the 3rd party product to do payment of dues via autodrafts on credit cards or bank accounts. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using Auto Draft by enSync Corp? If so,

How do you use it? Are you happy with the product and company support? Which version of iMIS are you on? Which features do you use? Have you found any serious issues?

Thanks!

I am looking to see if there is a way to open up a specific event on the iMIS Events tab through Xtender. Anyone done this before or have any idea if it can be done?

Thanks,

Mac

If you write an Xtender to extend the payments window in Service Central (for example), and you need the TRANS_NUMBER, this code won't return the value:

Dim strTrans As String
RaiseEvent GetValue("IMISSC^Trans.TRANS_NUMBER", strTrans)

...but this code will:

Dim strTrans As String
RaiseEvent GetValue("IMISAR^Trans.TRANS_NUMBER", strTrans)

iMISAR contains core financials code for iMIS, and it's shared by other modules. In general, if you're looking for financial data for an Xtender, and can't find it in the current library, try IMISAR instead.

I'm posting this in response to Bruce Drury's question here: http://www.imiscommunity.com/accessing_omnis_variables

Bruce, this sample does require an Xtender license. I don't know of a way to get the current ID into the framework without Xtender.

I'm new to iMIS and have been tasked with updating some existing xtenders that have been written in VB6.

I would like to do them in .Net.
My questions:

Is this possible?
Are there any examples floating around?
Is it the right route to go? (Ultimately the Xtenders will be replaced with ASP.Net pages.)

Thanks

Dear Folks,

I am very new to imis. I have created a .net application which scans a Barcode from our membership applications and logs into imis database. It works as an individual application. But our client wants to launch this application from imis application.

In other words,

It should work like VB extenders. Is it possible can I call vb.net (exe file) application using VB extenders?
