Calling Web Services using Process Server

Process Server has had a mashup control since version 9.1.3, called TriggerPanel. It could be used to trigger a process flow without returning data from the flow itself.
In Lawson Smart Office 10.0.0 the TiggerPanel supports a synchronous call which means that it is possible to run a flow and bring in data from the process back to the Mashup.

In order for the mashup to be able to automatically generate a UI and to be able to create an object model that can be used for easy binding the XML has to be according to a specific schema.

The XML schema describes a Header section and any number of Detail sections. The service has to at least return an xml document with only the root. The root element name is ProcessResponseHeaderDetails. Returning no Xml at all will result in an error dialog informing that no data was returned from the service. Continue reading →

Enable a button on a selected item

A few days ago I wrote a post about how to use the generic property setter in order to set IsEnabled on a button. I got the question how to do it in 9.1.2. Unfortunately the M3List does not expose the CurrentItem property in 9.1.2 so for M3Lists I have no solution. But for lists using the M3 APIS (MIListPanel) and the DataListPanel you have the option of checking the SelectedValue of the list and use a converter that will change a not null value to true.

My example has a list of Countries and a button that will be disabled unless a row in the list is selected. Continue reading →
