IME Mode in MSCRM attribute settings

When you create a new attribute for a MSCRM entity or open an exisitng one to see it's characteristics like data type, min-max values and schema name, you would have seen a property called IME mode, if you would've wondered what it is like me, here is what is got from the MSCRM Online resources: 

An Input Method Editor (IME) lets you to enter and edit Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. These Asian writing systems have more characters than can be encoded for a regular keyboard. The IMEs for these languages use sequences of base characters that describe an individual character or group of characters to enter a larger set of characters. Base characters can be component letters from Hangul syllables, phonetic components for Japanese kanji characters, or various combinations for Chinese characters. You can use the IME mode option to quickly enter these characters and symbols into text boxes, avoiding the manual switch to IME mode that would otherwise be required.

Input Method Editors have two principle states, inactive and active. The inactive mode behaves like a regular keyboard and uses a limited set of characters. The active mode accepts Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters.

The following IME modes are available:

  • auto (default) 
    The IME mode is not affected with this choice.
  • active 
    All characters are entered in the IME mode, but you can still deactivate it. For name-related fields and addresses, the default is active for detailed forms.
  • inactive 
    All characters are entered without using the IME mode, but you can still activate it. For datetime type fields, the default is inactive for detailed forms.
  • disabled
    The IME mode is disabled, and you cannot activate it. For number type fields (money, int, float), the default is inactive for detailed forms.

Using MS CRM Calendar in your custom ASP .NET pages *** Not fully Supported Customisations ***

Hi, Have you been creating custom pages in line with MS CRM for creating , viewing and updating entity records ? Have you placed controls such as Date picker Lookup on your custom page and have tried in vein to make those look like MS CRM ? I found a way to use the same MS CRM calendar control as it appears in the application... For getting this calendar on your asp .net page, follow the steps below: 1) Create a copy of the date.js javascript file located in your-server/crmsite-folder/_static/_controls/datetime folder, give the copy some name like date_myapp.js. 2) Open the following .js files from different sub folders in side the  your-server/crmsite-folder/_static      folder :       Global.js       encodedecode.js       xmlutil.js       util.js       remotecommand.js              Copy and whole content of each file one by one and keep pasting the same to the end of your date_myapp.js file. 3) Now open any CRM entity record page, for example a new Account crea

Capture and Handle event when one entity record is attached through a Many to Many relationship - MS CRM 4

If you have already dug up too much about trying to capture the event when an entity record in MS CRM is attached ~ linked to a record in many to many relationship. For example, if you have two entities : Supplier and Company in MS CRM where a supplier can do business with many companies and at the same time a Company can order stuff from many suppliers. What if you want to send some notification whenever a new supplier or an existing supplier is linked to a company; similarly you may want to send a notification when a Supplier signs a deal with 2-3 companies and gets linked to those. Some experts from MS CRM fraternity have suggested some ways to over ride this limitation of MS CRM that it does not expose any event for the above mentioned scenario, below is one of the examples:   http://ayazahmad.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/event-on-many-to-many-relationship-nn-in-crm-4/ But making changes to the default plugin model of MS CRM to add Associate or Disassociate event is not so eas
