I need to develop and integrate several new capabilities into the CRM
Service area. I would like if possible to use the same controls as the CRM
products to make the look & Feel as similar as possible. Does anyone know
if the controls used to develop the existing forms are available for use by
customization developers or do we need to do our own?

Thanks,
GeorgeV

The controls used for the CRM interface have not been exposed in any sdk. I
beleive some users have worked out how to use them but any such
customization is not support by Microsoft

Hi George, the controls are contained in the dlls in the bin directory in
wwwroot. You can use them in VS.NET, and can use the Object Browser to
explore them. There is no documentation on them, and using them is not
supported by MS. We use many of them, it just takes trial and error to
figure them out.

Hello Mike,

I've tried to explore those controls and ended up referencing many of
those
dls in my sample vs project.
I guess, it is not only the DLL files, but also the css and htc files (and
something..) that reside on crm server are needed for using those controls.
are those path to these htc files hardcoded?

Are we supposeed to use the rendercontrol function of these controls
to actually draw the control to the page or does it supports design time
settings?

It would be great if u could u pls share the piece of information on how to
use the Select control and also the Lookup control.

Thanks in advance.
Rojer
