Control installation instruction is missing.

I used standard custom control installation instruction. Control did not work with it. It does not get placed on view or form and no event appear for the control.

I take it back. There are some extensions and images blocked in our domain. This is the reason control was not being rendered on the view/form. After allowing these extensions/images on the server control worked as desired. So all is well in my world again.

Hi, Will this work for SmartForms version to 4.6.11 ?

When I try to register using controlutil.exe I get the following error:

Thanks.

Hi Sampy,

That AFAIK is due to copying directly between remote sessions.

Download the zip to a central share then copy the zip to the target environment. Once you've done that extract the zip and install.

The control was built on 4.6.11, so yes, it should work .

Please let me know if you still have issues: ernie.hayter@k2.com

Thanks Ernie, this control has been working for me once I figured out the restriction in our domain. One observation is, if it takes longer for the operation within Spinner control start and end, then Spinner intermittently stops spinning till the operation is complete. Gives false impression to end user as if something is hung. But actually it is not.

Hi Noor,

My control actually uses the internal spinner logic of SmartForms (I literally ask SF runtime to show its spinner - I don't add it myself) - you will see the same thing happens with the native SF spinner as well.

It is unfortunately a known issue, and it will be easily reproducible using pure JavaScript without K2 :(

I don't know if we will ever move to a "multi-threaded" model in SF, if we do, this will probably go away.

Cheers,

Ernie

Hi Ernie,

Thank you very much for explaining me that behavior and the inherent nature of it. Now I know the cause of it. Appreciate it.
