Form controls belong to one of three groups, depending on their data source as follows:

• ·         Bound control – associated with a field in an underlying table. Use bound controls to display, enter, and update values from fields in the database.
• ·         Unbound control – does not have a data source. Use unbound controls to display pictures and static text.
• ·         Calculated controls – uses a method as the data source. An example of a calculated control is the sum of two fields on a form.

 Example for Unbound Control

—->Here roles(Purpose) is a StringEdit control in the form. For this control, we should get the Drop down for selecting the Purpose

—-> Here the data we r getting from the lookup is not from the Datasource,that’s y we call this control as UNBOUND Controls

 SysLookupMultiSelectCtrl   rolesCtrl;

rolesCtrl = SysLookupMultiSelectCtrl::construct(element, roles, queryStr(LogisticsLocationRolePostalLookup), true, [tableNum(LogisticsLocationRoleTranslation), fieldNum(LogisticsLocationRoleTranslation, Description)]);

Sending email through Outlook in Dynamics AX

There are various ways by which we can send email in Dynamics AX. The code snippet shared here allows the user to send email through Microsoft Outlook using X++ code.The code is simple and easy to understand. 

    Description255             recipientEmail;

    Notes                            emailBody;

    Description255             subjectText;

    Filename                       fileName;

    SmmOutlookEmail         smmOutlookEmail = new SmmOutlookEmail();

  

    recipientEmail = "mdalfasith@gmail.com";

    subjectText     = "Test Email";

    fileName          = @"C:\Users\admin\Desktop\mypic.jpg";

    emailBody       = "Hi,\nThis is a test email for Dyanmics AX.\nThanks.";

  

    if (smmOutlookEmail.createMailItem())

    {

        smmOutlookEmail.addEMailRecipient(recipientEmail);

        smmOutlookEmail.addSubject(subjectText);

        smmOutlookEmail.addFileAsAttachment(fileName);

        smmOutlookEmail.addBodyText(emailBody);

        smmOutlookEmail.sendEMail(smmSaveCopyOfEMail::No,true);

    }

    else

    {

        error("Could not communicate with Microsoft Outlook Client.");

    }

So, if you want to send email directly without opening in Outlook, replace

smmOutlookEmail.sendEMail(smmSaveCopyOfEMail::No,true); 

with

smmOutlookEmail.sendEMail(smmSaveCopyOfEMail::No,false);
