Customizing the New Customer form in Retail POS.

        Well, Modifying the UI of POS form is bit difficult, it is easy if you follow the steps which i have published.

First, Select the main table layout from the form. click on right top most arrow icon 

Next, Click on Edit Rows and Columns and increase the row size to 800-1000 so that you can add new rows. and note that you have to set to autosize after adding the controls to the rows. Add required new rows, set the row to Absolute as 30 size. and drag required controls into the form and set Cell property of that control to the required row. and after your modification done set the contols and  tablelayoutpanel from Absolute size to Auto Size.

    I have dragged some controls into customer form and that looks like ,

After that create some new fields in AX Database and POS database.

Notice that, According to my research we cannot update the Microsoft.Dynamics.Retail.Pos.Contracts.dll to get the newly created fields to call in our code. To insert the record with new fields we need to get the Customerid and write the update method in AX and call that in .NET. Here am Updating the three checkboxes in Primary and two checkboxes in OptIn

To get the customer ID we need write a int in SaveCustomer() method

int custid = Customer.CustomerId

and in AX, create a method in RetailTransactionServiceEx as CustomerUpdate and write the code as following

public static container CustomerUpdate(AccountNum party,Boolean storeEvent, Boolean newsLetter, Boolean phone, Boolean email, Boolean url)

{

    CustTable custTable;

    container result = [false, ''];

    DirPartyLocation    locationPhone, locationEmail, locationURL;

    LogisticsElectronicAddress  logisticsElectronicAddress;

    boolean         updated = false;

    if (party)

    {

        ttsBegin;

       select forupdate custTable where custTable.AccountNum == party;

        if (custTable)

        {

            custTable.DVFOptInInStoreEvent = storeEvent;

            custTable.DVFOptInNewsletter   = newsLetter;

            custTable.update();

            select forupdate locationPhone where locationPhone.Party ==  custtable.Party                                  join logisticsElectronicAddress

                where logisticsElectronicAddress.Location == locationPhone.Location

                   && logisticsElectronicAddress.Type ==              LogisticsElectronicAddressMethodType::Phone;

            if(locationPhone)

            {

                 locationPhone.IsPrimary = phone;              locationPhone.validTimeStateUpdateMode(ValidTimeStateUpdate::CreateNewTimePeriod);

                locationPhone.update();

            }

            select forupdate locationEmail

                where locationEmail.Party ==  custtable.Party

            join logisticsElectronicAddress

                where logisticsElectronicAddress.Location == locationEmail.Location

                   && logisticsElectronicAddress.Type ==            LogisticsElectronicAddressMethodType::Email;

            if(locationEmail)

            {

                locationEmail.IsPrimary = email;

                locationEmail.validTimeStateUpdateMode(ValidTimeStateUpdate::CreateNewTimePeriod);

                locationEmail.update();

            }

            select forupdate locationURL

                where locationURL.Party ==  custtable.Party

            join logisticsElectronicAddress

                where logisticsElectronicAddress.Location == locationURL.Location

                   && logisticsElectronicAddress.Type == LogisticsElectronicAddressMethodType::URL;

            if(locationURL)

            {

                locationURL.IsPrimary = url;

                locationURL.validTimeStateUpdateMode(ValidTimeStateUpdate::CreateNewTimePeriod);

                locationURL.update();

            }

        ttsCommit;

            result = [true, 'Success!', custTable.name()];

        }

        else

        {

            updated = true;

            result = [false, 'Customer not found'];

        }

    }

    else

    {

        updated = true;

        result = [false, 'accountNumber is null.'];

    }

    if(updated)

    {

        ttsBegin;

        custTable.delete();

        ttsCommit;

    }

    return result;

}

and to call this method in AX. 

Pos.Customer.Customer.InternalApplication.TransactionServices.InvokeExtension("cgsCustomerUpdate", AccNo, storeEvent, newsLetter, primaryPhnNum, primaryEmail, primarySite);

the created Method is: 

public void CgsUpdateCustomer(string AccNo, bool storeEvent, bool newsLetter,bool primaryPhnNum, bool primaryEmail, bool primarySite)

        {

            try

            {

                var response = Pos.Customer.Customer.InternalApplication.TransactionServices.InvokeExtension("cgsCustomerUpdate", AccNo, storeEvent, newsLetter, primaryPhnNum, primaryEmail, primarySite);

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

                LSRetailPosis.ApplicationExceptionHandler.HandleException(this.ToString(), ex);

                Pos.Customer.Customer.InternalApplication.Services.Dialog.ShowMessage(Convert.ToInt32("Unable to create the customer"), MessageBoxButtons.OK);

            }

        }

 and call this method in SaveCustomer() method

CgsUpdateCustomer(Customer.CustomerId, storeevent, newsletter, PhnChk, Emailchk, Sitechk);

To get the storevent,newsletter,PhnChk etc....

bool storevent = false;

if(chkStoreEvent.checked == true)

{

bool storevent = true;

}

etc....

Then generate a dll of Customer Class Library and paste the dll in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics AX\60\Retail POS\Services and run the POS Application.
