How to add all descendant classes to a new project

I bumped into the problem of a class compilation with no licence for X++ source code.

Forward compile option is not enough to make my changes working. Thus I need to export-import all descendant classes as well as the class I changed - FormLetter in my case.

I therefore have to add all these classes to my project. Natural laziness saved me again from this manual work.

I hope this short job inspired by system class SysCompilerOutput and miklenew's job from AXForum will help you in similar situations.

// add to a new project all descendant classes for forward compilation
public static void SISCreateCompileForwardProject(Args _args)
{
   #AOT
   str                     project = 'SIS_CompileForward';
   SysCompilerOutput       sysCompilerOutput;
   Dictionary              dictionary      = new Dictionary();
   DictClass               dictClass       = new DictClass(className2Id("Formletter"));
   int                     numOfClasses    = dictionary.classCnt();
   ProjectNode             sharedProjects;
   ProjectNode             newProject;

   void addToProjectForwardClass(DictClass _dictClass, Dictionary _dictionary, int _numOfClasses)
   {
   ClassNode           classNode;
   DictClass           dictClassLoop;
   DictClass           childClass;
   int                 i;
   ;
       if (_dictClass)
       {
           classNode = infolog.findNode(#ClassesPath + #AOTDelimiter + _dictClass.name());

           if (classNode)
           {
               newProject.addUtilNode(UtilElementType::Class, classNode.name());

               for (i=1; i <= _numOfClasses; i++)
               {
                   dictClassLoop = _dictionary.classObject(_dictionary.classCnt2Id(i));

                   if (dictClassLoop.extend() == _dictClass.id())
                   {
                       childClass = new DictClass(dictClassLoop.id());
                       addToProjectForwardClass(childClass, _dictionary, _numOfClasses);
                   }
               }
           }
       }
   }
   ;

   sharedProjects = infolog.projectRootNode().AOTfindChild('Shared');
   sharedProjects.AOTAdd(project);
   newProject =  sharedProjects.AOTfindChild(project);
   newProject.loadForInspection();
   newProject = newProject.getRunNode();
   addToProjectForwardClass(dictClass, dictionary, numOfClasses);
   newProject.AOTsave();

Microsoft Brain

Yesterday, I was at a seminar about Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Services organized by Montreal community of .Net developers.

The presentation was good and interesting as usual. At the end of it they raffled three books about Best Practice for MOSS and one licence of Visual Studio 2008. However, yet there was one other prize that I got - Microsoft brain.

I am shocked how small it is...

Set 1920x1080x60 Resolution for LG LCD (VGA)

After installation of Ubuntu 9.04 I got a problem with my LCD as a second monitor to my Toshiba laptop. The resolution should have been 1920x1080 as a maximum but was 1280x768 indeed.

With a little help of my friend and this article I managed to add this absent line into xorg.conf file.

I am not sure about all these numbers in the following script for Terminal but it works as a charm.

sudo cvt 1920 1080 60 # 1920x1080 59.88 Hz (CVT 2.30MA) hsync: 74.56 kHz; pclk: 193.25 MHz Modeline "1920x1080" 193.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1080 1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync

sudo xrandr --newmode "1920x1080" 193.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1080 1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync

sudo xrandr --addmode VGA "1920x1080"

Now, you can easily set it in Display Setting utility.

How To Restrict Form Setup Conext Menu Item

To resrtict Form Setup context menu item you should:

Create security key, for example, SysSetupFormPermission




Add this key to SysSetupForm control tab



Create a new user group supposed to be restricted




Uncheck the key




A user included in the group will still have the context menu item
but will see an empty form

Launching and closing Internet Explorer

One can run Internet Explorer in visible or invisible mode, then navigate any url and close the application, finally.

{
 COM c = new COM("InternetExplorer.Application");
 str url = "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms952618.aspx";
 ;
 c.navigate(url);
 c.visible(true);
 if (DialogButton::Yes == BOX::YesNo("To close the browser press Yes", DialogButton::Yes))
 {
     info(strfmt("Job is done"));
     c.quit();
 }
