Bind form region controls at runtime

Hi,
I have a combo box in an appointment form region. I want to bind a List<string> to it at runtime.
Could anyone please help how to do this.
Thanks,
Stanley

Hello Raj,
You can use the
ItemsSouce property to set a collection used to generate the content of the ItemsControl.
You can find the ComboBox class described in MSDN.
The form regions are represented using regular user controls in VSTO projects. I'd suggest asking Windows Form specific questions on the
Windows Forms General forum instead.

Outlook controls in custom form region created in Visual Stdio 2010

Hi,
Is it possible to use all the outlook controls (e.g. Body control, Send button) in custom form region created in Visual studio.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Which control you are not able to use? Based on my understanding, there are two ways to custom the form region in Outlook.
First is creating a new form region by using the wizard. The second is importing a form region designed in Outlook.
In the second secnario, we can use add native Outlook controls to the form region. Native Outlook controls enable you to bind to Outlook data at design time. However, you cannot then use the form region designer to add managed controls or change the design
of the form region.

Coding the controls in form region in Outlook 2007

We are using Outlook 2007. There is a need of adding a drop down control for field "Subject" in the appointment form. I can use a form region for that. Is it true that VB code cannot be used for the form region (in Sue Mosher's book, "Outlook
2007 programming)? Are there any other options? We also use Visual Studio 2008.
Thank you!
Marilyn

Hi Eugene,
I've already created a form region, via form designer in Outlook. And a combobox is bound to Subject field in the default form. But I need to dynamically populate the list in the combobox, according to a folder under which an apportment would be
made. Which means that I need to reference the form region and its controls in a code where I could assign combobox's data source to a table's field. I read some articles on VSTO. Just wanted to make sure there are no better/easier ways than using
VSTO.
Thanks so much for your help!

Windows Phone - Cannot bind custom user controll with listview item source property

It is Windows Phone 8.1 (runtime)
I have some problem of binding custom user controll with list of data. I'll make it simple as I can.
My problem is that somehow if I use DataBind {Binding Something} inside my custom controll it will not work.
I need to transfer binded data (string) to custom controll.
It is strange that if I do not use DataBind, it will work normally. Eg MyCustomControllParameter = "some string" (in my example 'BindingTextValue' property)
Does anyone Know how to bind custom user controll with inside ListView with DataTemplate.
Assume this:
XAML Test-Main page

Thanks for helping ;)

If you use a built-in control rather than your custom control, does binding work? You should verify that first.

Outlook 2007 error The form region DPOfcX

Hi Guys,
When I open Outlook 2007 or open an e-mail I am getting the following error.
The form region “DPOfcX” cannot be opened. The form region manifest specifies an add-in that is not installed.
I have check in the add-in there is no add-ins at all. I have check the exchange client extensions in there the add-in of nod32, exchange and SAP callender. in the disable add-in there is nothing.
When I start Outlook in safe mode the error don't show at all. What else I have done was to scan the computer with Spybot for malware. Nothing found. the computer is brand new got it on Saterday. When I search
the computer for the DPOfcx do not get any results. I have check in system 32 files and syswow64
Any help I will be greatfull!
regards,
Gerrit

Hi Gerrit,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\FormRegions. Delete the registration for your entry for the MessageClass you are handling.
Removing an addin that way does not unregister it or its dependencies. You should uninstall or remove from Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features in the Control Panel, or by re-running the installer
and selecting to remove the addin.
If the form region registration is created as part of the installation it should be removed by uninstalling. If it is created later after installation, say by code, you need code such as an installer custom
action to unregister the form region.
Hope that helps.

Organizer name comes in the Recipients list in outlook form region

Hi,
I have created a custom form region for a meeting in outlook 2010 and VSTO with the message class IPM.Appointment.MyCompanyName. 1) When we either create a new meeting based on that form region or open the existing meeting created based on that form region
from the calendar, the Organizer name is showing in the recipients list i.e., in the To field. 2) If I remove the Organizer name from the recipients list and save the appointment, it shows the message that the "The attendees of the meeting has been changed.
Do you want to save and send update or Close without saving. How to remove the organizer name from the recipients list and save the appointment without asking for this dialog.
Regards,
Vijay

But why would Outlook's behavior change if you have not modified or replaced the To control? Do you see the same behavior if you comment out all of your form region's code?

How to dynamically enable or disable a control's runtime shortcut menu?

Is there a way to do it?
I need to disable a control's runtime menu while my VI is running and then enable it at other point of time. All the way, I can make use of the default menu items (Reinitialize to default values, Copy data etc..,) for the control and I don't have any customized menu items.

Hi Ajay,
as a quick & dirty way you could use a filter event for mouse clicks. When you want to disable the right-click menu you filter the right-click mouse events…
Thats nice dirty idea. But it might give my end-user an impression that my application doesn't respond to the given options. I specifically want to greyout the right-click menu.

Deploying Forms and Reports 6i runtime with my application

I'm trying (for a year or two) to find out Oracle's recommended and proven method of packaging Forms and Reports 6i runtime components with my application. I've tried the 6.0 File Packager, the Project Builder Delivery Wizard, and the Oracle Software Packager. I'm still working with OSP but their doesn't seem any mention of runtime inclusion the User Guide or Tool. This is a basic need for anyone doing mass deployment on client/server environments. I know someone at Oracle knows the answer. Please help me! I'm desperate! Also, please realize that a custom install of runtimes from the Developer disks is not an option in our scenario.

I had the same problem.
I resolve with a new third party tool:

How to pull a form region in AJAX

Carl,
I have implemented Carl's AJAX "region pull" example and works fine. This works fine as long as the region is report region. is it possible to pull a form region with items and submit button in AJAX way?. will it be possible to submit update and submit that pulled form. I just tried to do that and gave me the following error. any ideas are appreciated.
Error Item ID (2304200109596392) is not an item defined on the current page.
thanks,
Surya

Hello Surya,
I guess it depends your template. If it works for a report region and not for your forms region, you might want to have a look what the difference is in the templates for both regions.
You could give your form region the template of report region and see if that solves the problem?

Dimitri

Voice mail will open in Outlook 2010. The form region "UmOutllokAddinRA" cannot be opened.

I'm running Exchange Server 2007, Outlook 2010 and Lync 2010.
Unified Messaging is enabled. When a voice mail is left, the voice mail is delivered to my Inbox, but the message will not open. I get the error "The form region "UmOutllokAddinRA" cannot be opened. Outlook will use the default form instead."
If I have the Conversation History Add-in for Microsoft Lync 2010 enabled, I also get the error "The form region "IPM.Note.Microsoft.Missed.Voice.Region" cannot be opened. Outlook will use the default form instead." Disabling the
add-in clears the error.
Uninstalling Lync did not help so I'm not sure if that is the issue or not. I've tried reinstalling Outlook and Lync to no success.
Any thoughts?

I am getting the same thing with Exchange Server 2010, Outlook 2010, and Lync 2010.
It appears to be a client side error.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

Item on form regions title line??

hi again,
seems as if this day is my day of questions :-)
I have a simple HTML-based form region on my page. how is it possible to display an item (i just need a bit of conditional text there, so my item of choice is the "display as"-item) among the title of the region ??
i can't use the button substitutes, so is there any workaround or am i missing something ??
thanks, hendrik :)

thanks roel :-) unfortunately that is not 100% what i'm looking for.
i'd like to populate this item after rendering via javascript. i don't know the value (e.g. number of rows shown in a report or "this region has changed" triggered by an onclick-event), which is to be displayed, at the time the substitution is done...
I need an referencable item next to the region's title.
do you have any idea how to solve this ??

Can I use apexrefresh to refresh a form region?

Hi- I have a tree region and below that I have a form region.
The tree has links that calls a javascript function when a node is clicked.
I want this JS function to set the ID for the form and then refresh just the form portion so the tree stays in the open, partial open, or whatever state it is in.
function set_program_id(pPROG_ID){
alert(pPROG_ID);
$s('P21_PROG_ID',pPROG_ID);
apex.jQuery('#PROG_DETAIL').trigger('apexrefresh');
I have PROG_DETAIL in the STATIC ID field of the region.
It doesn't work... is it possible or is this only for IR regions?

I doubt the refresh functionality supports forms and trees. I have been able to get only report regions refreshed that way. Someone from the development team can probably answer that conclusively.
<li>You can think of invoking an Ondemand Process, return back JSON or XML for all the form item values and then set the form parsing that result set.
<li>Another way would be to use the new jQuery dialog functionality in Apex 4 to show a nice dialog box over the tree. The content of the box can be from another page where you can put your form in. When you show display the dialog you can set the dependent items (I suppose P21_PROG_ID ) first.
<li>If its just 2 or 3 items, you can even render them in a report as multiple rows and then refresh them.
For example
SELECT 'Prog Name' LABEL. APEX_ITEM.TEXT(1,progname) from .. where PROG_ID = :P21_PROG_ID
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Prog Description' LABEL. APEX_ITEM.TEXTAREA(1,description) from .. where PROG_ID = :P21_PROG_IDYou can try around with JS to display the content in the way you want it.
Now your form can be refreshed using a Dynamic action.
Personally I would choose using the jQuery Dialog Box as its more clean,is easily maintainable and looks nice.

Link (a href...) in form region

Is there a way to include a link to another page in a form region?
The only way, I could find, was to create a button template containing '#LABEL#<a>', but I was unable to set the link to link somewhere in my app and I wouldn't want to make a separate button template for each link I need in a form. AND I was unable to create branching using the button as the button condition, because the button just wasn't in the select list...

Please, can anybody help me with this? I need a few links among my form items. That should be a common need for any application or am I wrong? It should be possible or why not at least?
It would be nice, if the link could be conditionally displayed too, it would solve another problem of mine (see thread 'Custom Popup and READONLY field' at Custom Popup and READONLY field
