Store and retrieve an image in a table for a record in AX

The simplest way to store an image for a record into AX tables is by using the CompanyImage Menu Item. I will explain you with an example below:
  1. Generally, most of the customers would request for a functionality to store an image for an item. For this, there is no need of high customization.
  2. Initially, Goto the Design in InventTable Form and add a Display Menu Item called CompanyLogo to its button Group.
  3. Change the label of the Menu item button in the form.
  4. Now, open the InventTable form and click on the menu item and load an image associated with a record.
  5. This image will be stored in the CompanyImage table as a BLOB in a container with the refRecId, RefTableId and RefCompanyId of the associated record(Here Record of InventTable).
  6. Retrieving it and saving to file system again is pretty easy with the help of binData Class. Here is the supporting code snippet....
bindata   bin = new bindata();
str    content;
container image;
InventTable inventTable;
;
inventTable = inventTable::find('100003');
image = companyimage::find(inventTable.dataAreaId, inventTable.TableId, inventTable.RecId).Image;
bin.setData(image);
// Create the base64 encoded string
content=bin.base64Encode();
info(content);
// Save it to the file system as a tif format
AifUtil::saveBase64ToFile(@"C:\test.tif", content);

Thats it done, Now you can see the image in your file system....................This can be done to store and retrieve the images for any record from any table.

Mark All for Open Cust Trans and Open Vend Trans

We have situations where there are lots of open transactions that need to be settled against each other. This can be the case if auto settlement is turned off. One solution is to add a "Mark All" button to the custOpenTrans or vendOpenTrans forms. This button "checks" the mark checkbox on every line. The user can then uncheck several lines if needed and Update to settle the lines. The code below is an example of what we used on the open vendor transaction screen. The code is very similar on the AR side. One note: I used vendTable.AccountNum in the code below. That should be generalized to work with any buffer that is passed into the open trans form. void customMarkAll() { VendTransOpen localVendTransOpen; VendTrans localVendTrans; container conSum; int linesProcessed; ; //show wait cursor startLengthyOperation(); element.lock(); //remove all prior markings specOffsetVoucher.deleteSpe...
