Customer FX has a new release in the Creatio Marketplace that is now available. This is a developer toolkit for adding a multi-select text control to any page in Creatio. Although it's a developer toolkit and does require some development to use, the dev skills needed is really pretty minimal. It's actually pretty easy. Download the Multi-select Text Field Setup...

Many of the controls in Infor CRM (Saleslogix) are composite controls. This means, that a single control you add to a quickform, such as a picklist, address control, date picker, etc, are rendered on the web as multiple controls that make up that single control. On top of that, many of these controls are transformed at runtime as they...

I've posted previously about how you can change the Dijit control type of the ComboBox to give it different functionality or behavior. See Creating a Searchable & Filterable ComboBox in Infor CRM In that post, I showed how to change the ComboBox's data-dojo-type attribute to change it from a normal ComboBox to a filterable & searchable ComboBox. In this post, we'll be...

I've had a few posts lately covering the ComboBox control in the Infor CRM (Saleslogix) Web Client. The ComboBox itself isn't too exciting. However, as I've mentioned in the previous posts, the fact that the Infor CRM ComboBox renders as a Dijit Select form widget makes it so much more powerful due to the fact that you can use it as a Dijit Select widget and not just as an ASP.NET control. In this post, we'll look at changing the widget type of the ComboBox to a filterable widget to make it even more useful. We can change the ComboBox so a user can type and the list will automatically filter to show the items matching as the user types - and do it with a single line of code. Pretty cool, right?

If you're working in the SalesLogix Windows (LAN) client, why not make as most use as possible of a modern development environment, language, and tools? The SalesLogix .NET Extensions feature in the SalesLogix Windows client is one of the best, and likely least used, features in the SalesLogix Windows client development story. A choice bewteen using an out-dated development environment and VBScript, with no possibility of using source control or a true multi-developer experience verses using Visual Studio, with source control, a modern language and framework where the sky is the limit? I'll take the latter any day. Still not convinced? The .NET Extensions Helper library comes to the rescue. This new open source project from Customer FX will make embedding .NET controls in SalesLogix a breeze.

I just came across some new info that has been added to SalesLogix 7.5.2 (currently in beta). The ability to add custom controls to Application Architect for use on QuickForms. This is a completely welcome and awesome addition to the SalesLogix Application Architect. The following is taken from the 7.5.2 AA help files...
