MS Dynamics GP 10 Visual Studio read only

Hi,

Are you trying to populate empty fields on a new, blank Billing Entry invoice, or are you trying to update the Customer ID for an existing invoice?

In theory, it looks like you should be able to populate an empty Customer ID, but non-core products like PA can be pretty inconsistent or flaky with VS Tools, and I haven't done any automation with that window, so I can't say for sure without testing it.

If you want to post your relevant code, I can give it a try.

Thanks,

Notice the commented code down after the datagridview. This is the section that will not build because it says the field is read-only. This lookup window would be used for a new Billing Entry prior to selecting the customer ID. Please remember to add the Application.ProjectAccounting.dll if you try to build this.

Hi,

Try this:

PaBillingEntryWindow.CustomerNumber.Value = "AARONFIT0001";

You need to assign the value to the CustomerNumber property called Value.  Without ".Value", it thinks you are trying to assign an object.

Steve, you are correct again. Now what I am trying to do is provide a lookup box to get the customer number. I have an external database that has job numbers in them. On each job is an agency. Jobs are projects and agencies are customers.  I used a datagridview because the columns line up nicely. This is just a lookup window. I want the user to be able to select a row and have it return the agency code to the customer number field. Can that be doen using a datagridview? Is there something better? If you want to alter the code just send me an invoice for your time.
