As a follow on from the post last week on capturing the logging in and logging out events in Microsoft Dynamics GP, I want to cover how to open a form after logging into Microsoft Dynamics GP. This could be a hidden form used by your code or a window that you want to open automatically.

A while back I did a post on running Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) scripts when logging into and out of Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Recently, I was asked about the best method of capturing the same events from Dexterity.

In the previous part of this post we discussed the theory of the Three Trigger Technique and the details of a problem that was solved using this technique.
This post will cover the actual solution used and has the scripts used so you can see the techniques in action.

When working with Dexterity triggers, the hardest part of the process is working out where to place the triggers. There are times where it seems impossible to get the trigger you need in the correct location. This post explains the concept of what I call the Three Trigger Technique. The technique involves using a trigger on an apparently unrelated function or procedure which executes at the appropriate point within the code of the function or procedure. Let me explain in more detail …

I recently responded on a Newsgroup posting where the developer was wanting to identify a table delete event from a particular form. However, the delete event was happening in a function or procedure that did not pass a form’s table buffer as a parameter and so did not use a form level table buffer belonging to any form. This means that it was not possible to use a form restricted database trigger, but using an un-restricted database trigger was picking up table delete events from multiple forms.
So how can I identify when the database event is being generated from the form I am interested in?

As a developer there are often times when I need to write and maintain code which works for multiple versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP. A great example of this is the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP. This tool has been written for versions 8.00, 9.00 & 10.00 and will be maintained for all currently supported versions of Microsoft Dynamics GP as we go into the future.

While many Dexterity developers are now using Source Code Control (usually with Microsoft Visual Source Safe), there are a number of developers that did not know that an index file should always be used with Source Code Control.

The following article describes the methods for setting up the tab sequence for fields in a window using Dexterity or Modifier. It also provides methods for handling overlaid fields such as radio buttons.

Something I am often asked is how to get started with Dexterity. As Dexterity is not really known outside of the Microsoft Dynamics GP world, there are not a large number of books available on the subject, like there are for Visual Basic or Visual C#.

Back in 1998, when I was working with Sequel Technology (the Western Australian partner for Great Plains), we were implementing Great Plains Dynamics 4.0 for a couple of sites and were using add-on products for Service Management and Job Costing.
