Show open windows in development view and switch between them

I just developed a simple form to show all open windows i development view. It has the following features:

• Double-click an item to switch to the corresponding window.
• Click "Close window" to close the selected window.
• Auto-refreshes the view every 3 seconds.
• Stays within the workspace (i.e. not "outside AX").
• Stays open after switching windows (unlike the default Windows -> Windows)!
• Works in both Dynamics AX 2009 and 2012.

It has greatly helped me manage my windows when developing...! :)

When imported, you should add a menu item pointing to the form (eg. in \Menus\GlobalToolsMenu on AX 2012).

Let me know if you need more features :)

Ax 2012 - Get dimensions

If you've been working with Dynamics AX 2012 dimensions, you'll know that they are pretty hard to understand and work until you get to know them. I finally figured out how to get the dimensions and dimension values through X++.

Get dimensions:

DimensionAttribute              dimAttr;
DimensionAttributeSetItem       dimAttrSetItem;
DimensionAttributeSetItem       dimAttrSetItemEditable;
DimensionEnumeration            dimensionSetId;
dimensionSetId = DimensionCache::getDimensionAttributeSetForLedger();
while select dimAttr
    order by Name
       where dimAttr.Type != DimensionAttributeType::MainAccount
        join RecId from dimAttrSetItem
       where dimAttrSetItem.DimensionAttribute == dimAttr.RecId &&
             dimAttrSetItem.DimensionAttributeSet == dimensionSetId
  outer join RecId from dimAttrSetItemEditable
       where !dimAttrSetItemEditable.DimensionAttributeSet &&
             dimAttrSetItemEditable.DimensionAttribute == dimAttr.RecId &&
             dimAttrSetItemEditable.EnumerationValue == NoYes::Yes
{
   info(dimAttr.Name);
}

Get dimension values for the "CostCenter" dimension:

Common common;
DimensionAttribute dimAttr;
select firstOnly dimAttr where dimAttr.Name == "CostCenter";
common = new DictTable(dimAttr.BackingEntityType).makeRecord();
while select common
{
    info(strFmt("%1", common.(dimAttr.NameAttribute)));
}
