Extender Auto Open and Auto Close options not working in GP 2010

Just recently, I came across an issue reported by a partner on Extender Auto Open and Auto Close options not working.

Extender Auto Open and Auto Close options
After implementing a simple Extender window on the Item Maintenance form, I ran a couple tests to confirm. Effectively, when I did open the Item Maintenance window, the Extender window did not open as expected.

I then went to the Additional menu to open the Extender window and then closed the Item Maintenance window. The Extender window did not close along with the Item Mantenance form.

My environment is Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 with Service Pack 3 (11.00.2044), but the issue can be recreated on previous builds of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 as well. In the interest of full disclosure, I did not test this in any previous release of Dynamics GP, i.e., v10.0.

The issue has been replicated by Microsoft and a problem report created for it, but no immediate fix date has been provided. If you are affected by this issue, please open a support case referencing this post or the actual partner forum post URL: http://bit.ly/P2G0rr

NOTE: The Allow Hot Key option still works as expected.

Until next post!

Mariano,
I have another question. Extender window can be added to the Dynamics GP main form. Although when it comes to the Extender form it does not have an option to be added to any Dynamics GP window or form. Can we add it anyhow though? For instance, can we open it from the Inventory maintenance form using an added button or from the menu at least? Can we use VBA for the Extender form?

@Anonymous:

An Extender form is designed to be attached to an Extender menu.

I know you can add an Extender window to VBA, so I don't see why you cannot attach a form.

Mariano, did you ever get your "auto open" issue resolved for your Extender window? I am having the same problem

Hi Mariano,

I am also facing this issue in GP2010 environment. The extender window just opens for a user and both the users have same configuration.

DBMS: 12 Microsoft Dynamics GP: 0 error when updating to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2

Hello all! It's been quite a while since I've actually written anything of remote interest to anyone who follows my blog, but at the same time, you will be pleased to know that I've been quite busy in the consulting front, with upgrades, server migrations, complex multi-instance postings involving 10's of thousands of transactions, wrapping up some Field Service Automation projects, and the list goes on and on. This time around I want to bring to the forefront, an issue I encountered updating  from Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 SP2 to Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 R2 plus the latest service pack. Background My client requested a server migration to a new environment where they wanted to deploy Dynamics GP 2013 R2 web client (plus the latest service pack) and upgrade their relational database management system to Microsoft SQL Server 2014. This is something I'm absolutely comfortable with (for the most part) given also that my client was sitting at Microsoft Dynamics

eConnect Integration Service for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010

Image
One of the biggest improvements in eConnect 2010 is the addition of the new eConnect Integration Service . The eConnect installer now creates a new Windows Service application named eConnect for Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010 integration Service . The eConnect Integration Service is a Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) service that replaces the (very unstable) eConnect COM+ object available in previous versions of eConnect. The eConnect Integration Service supports the operations of the eConnect .NET assemblies, the BizTalk adapter, and MSMQ interfaces. In addition, you can use the service directly from an application that adds a service reference to the eConnect Integration Service. If you add a service reference, you do not need to add the Microsoft.Dynamics.GP.eConnect assembly and namespace to your development project. To add the eConnect Integration Service to an application, you must first add a service reference to the Visual Studio project for that application. To add a servi
