Thanks Andrew for developing VST Controls!
Here is a demonstration of the capabilities of the free utility based on a real world example I am working on right now:
I have a customer that would like to import employee expense reports from a cloud based expense system into Dynamics GP as vouchers. I asked if they wanted to see the receipt that the employee submitted with the expense report. They said, "Sure!"
Using VST Controls, I created this working prototype in 30 minutes. The image on the right is displaying a JPEG image file associated with the voucher.
VST Controls can add any .NET control to any GP window--you just need to know the name of the window and where you want the control to be displayed.
Here is the code to display the controls in GP:
//********************************************************//Instantiate controlsPictureBox pictureBox2 = new PictureBox();
Button btnShowReceipt = new Button();
//********************************************************
//Picture Box on PM Transaction Entry
pictureBox2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(200, 150);
pictureBox2.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.None;
pictureBox2.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
pictureBox2.Visible = false;
pictureBox2.Click += new EventHandler(pictureBox2_Click);
vstControls.Add(new VstControl("Payables Transaction Entry", 650, -8, pictureBox2));
//********************************************************
//Receipt Button on PM Transaction Entry
btnShowReceipt.Text = "Receipt";
btnShowReceipt.AutoSize = true;
btnShowReceipt.Click += new EventHandler(btnShowReceipt_Click);
vstControls.Add(new VstControl("Payables Transaction Entry", 550, 30, btnShowReceipt));

Subject: VST Controls. A free .NET development tool for GP
From the creative team at Envisage Software / Precipio Services, who brought you the 'hit' song I want my MVP, we are excited to announce the release of VST Controls, a tool that allows developers to add any windows control onto any GP window with just a few lines of code.
Add images, textboxes, labels, URL pages, hyperlinks, 3rd party controls etc... onto any GP window, and get full access to the control's properties, methods and events.
Go to the Envisage website to read more about the tool and download the software.
