Hi All,
I need to navigate to the browser from Ax. For that purpose i need to add browser control in Ax form. Can any one of you please suggest me a way to add browser control in Ax 2012.
I’m sure you’ve seen examples in AX of browsing to certain websites. If its all guided to single links, its easy to create a form to do this. Here is a good blog post that shows you how to do it a few minutes: http://msdax.wordpress.com/2011/12/02/wpf-net-controls-in-dynamics-ax-2012/
But as I read this, you need browser controls like IE, Firefox of Chrome. There isn’t a way that I am aware of to do this out of the box with AX. While I haven’t done this, I have it on my todo list to monkey with in my free time. I’ve heard good things about the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). https://github.com/chillitom/CefSharp This should give you the tools to do this. There are example projects in the above link that will show you how to code this in C#. Should be able to easily adapt to X++.
If you go this route, let me know how it works out!
I would either use WebBrowser control (WinForms, WPF) or simply open it in external web browser (that’s usually the most user-friendly approach).
