Useful Dialog Windows with .NET Interop and NAV 2009 R2

We have been asked recently how to display a Dialog window for the RoleTailored client that would collect a Directory path.

The old (good) Codeunit 412 “Common Dialog Management” was not suitable for that purpose (and honestly I would love to go for something more RTC oriented).

I thought myself, then, there may be a lot of useful Dialog windows based on System.Windows.Forms namespace.

1. How to select a DIRECTORY

2. How to select a FILE
• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.openfiledialog(v=VS.90).aspx
3. How to select a COLOR
• http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.colordialog(v=VS.90).aspx
4. How to select a PRINTER
•  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.printdialog(v=VS.90).aspx

Attached you will find 1 unbounded page object in TXT format.

The code is fairly simple.
