Smart Office Hot Fix 12 was just released (10.2.0.88). We have some new features and in this post I’ll cover a changes to the MIPanel that will make it easier to chain calls together. The new features for the MIPanel are:

• New events: CompletedSuccessfully and CompletedWithError
• New properties: ShowMessagesInDialog and ShowMessagesInStatusBar
• New result property that you can bind to: MIPanel.ErrorInfo. This property will contain error information from the first failed transaction. It has ErrorMessage, ErrorCode, ErrorField, Transaction and Program.

For those of you who have use conditions on events you can now consider using the new events. An example scenario would be updating item information and if that transaction is successful you would like to run another transaction. In that case you can trigger the second update based on CompletedSuccessfully instead of UpdateCompleted.

Please note that I have some hard coded values in the example. I did have to configure MandatoryInputFields since I’m not changing the item number as the behavior of the MIPanel is to only send updated data to an MITransaction. The use of the event is pretty straight forward. For numeric input I used the NumericTextBox. You will not find it in the Designer UI but it is part of Smart Office so you can use it if you edit the XAML. Here is the XAML:

Unfortunately the Documentation in the Mashup Designer is not updated with the new properties etc as there has been no update to the Mashup Designer. You can always find the latest API documentation in the Smart Office SDK.

Please note that these events applies to update transactions. You set the type of the transaction on the MIDataSource. We will automatically try and determine the type based on the transaction name.
