RMS development

Sergei,

You are not wrong, it is very limited, you cannot 'customise' the built-in forms.

The best route is either custom POS buttons or HTML window customisation.

Bear in mind that you can customise RMS to disable access to various 'built-in' forms, so yours have to be used. You can also assign macros to 'push' POS buttons, allowing you to add functions to the touchscreen keyboard and/or provide alternate shortcut keys from the default Ctrl+0->9 for POS buttons.

There are also workarounds, depending on which forms you are trying to replace, for instance the Tender form could be replaced by intercepting 'TenderBegin' hook and returning false (after processing and posting the transaction yourself).

Regards Richard

Thank you Richard. Unfortunately I have to customise / replace the PurchaseOrder form which seem to have only intercept option onclose event. Wouldn't be nice to have a proper API for the development ?! I tried to get direct access to some functions from QSRules.dll via PInvoke in C# - messy. Some classes seem to work(e.g. SessionClass) others do not. Do you know if MS will provide a proper object model for the product in the future? Regards,

Sergei,

It would be nice to have more control over various processes, 'SessionClass' is the one and only access point you are supposed to use in QSRules. The product is steering towards .NET for the future, but of course, as always - support for existing customers is necessary for most developments.
