New Print Destination in Dynamics 365 for Operations

-
A customization may require you to add a new report print destination. With the help of delegates and extensions it's quite simple to achieve that in D365FO:

1. Create an extension of the BaseEnum SRSPrintMediumType and add your new report destination:

2. Create your class which will have your customization relating to your new destination. Now subscribe to the delegate method onPrintReport in SRSPrintDestinationSettingsDelegates class and add your custom code:









3. Create an extension for SRSPrintDestinationSettingsForm and add your tabpage for your new destination:



4. Next thing is to add the code that will build your destination Tabpage and your destination list. This can be done by subscribing to the delegate methods in SRSPrintDestinationSettingsDelegates class:
  • Code for print medium type change event on the destination form
  • Code for building SendTo list control on the destination form





  • Code for the index selection change event on the destination form

5. And now you can see your new destination on the form:

LedgerDefaultDimensionEntryController, etc. These are some of the changes I've noticed while upgrading Ax 2012 to D365FO: 1. Add the Dimension Entry form control and set the properties 2. While upgrading these are some of the differences I found between Ax 2012 and D365FO: Ax 2012 dimensionDefaultingController = DimensionDefaultingControllerNoDS::constructInGroupWithValues(true, true, true, 0, this, dimensionsGroup, "@SYS138487", legalEntity.text()); D365FO DimensionEntryControl.parmDisplayValues(true); DimensionEntryControl.parmCompany(legalEntity.text()); DimensionEntryControl.reactivate(); Ax 2012 dimensionDefaultingController.pageActivated(); dimensionDefaultingController.loadValu
