Open Dental

Hey Justin,
What's your take on this issue? Open Dental as WUP app?
Open Dental on Microsoft Store; is it an so-out-of-tune thought? Would that be unnecessary?

Hi all, Is anybody thinking or envisioning of updating the UI/UX of OpenDental to match the look of Windows 10 apps?! Just my thoughts, as many have told me the software looks complicated (I call it sophisticated, and I quite like it). I did some research on software design, and keep thinking how ni...

OK. I got part of the answer. The .NET framework on the test Windows 7 machine was .NET 4.5 and on the test Windows 10 machine it was .NET 4.6 Preview. So something must have changed in between the versions (as there are other versions like 4.5.1 or 4.5.2) that could explain the improvement. Now as ...

Thank you Josh for getting involved. As far as I know, the Region & Language option of Persian has been an option for a while now, and the calendar that is corresponding to it works in Open Dental, so unless I am mistaken by what you mean by calendar in Region & Language, it's probably reason #1, th...

Thank you bpcomp.

My tests with Windows 10 and Open Dental were promising. However, there were glitches with the Persian Calendar. I posted a topic in the advanced forum (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5727) and hope that fixes can be applied so that it works.

As you may know, Microsoft is giving people a chance to test drive the unreleased Windows 10 builds, and after a vote on the user voice website, starting with build 9926 (January 2015), Windows has finally a Persian Calendar, selectable from regional settings. So I got a chance to test Open Dental t...

Well, six months past the last post in this thread, while I was still weighing my options to pay a few grands to local software developers to take care of Iranian localization, guess what happened? People spoke, Microsoft heard! News has it Persian calendar is finally finding its way to Microsoft Wi...

Dear David, Thanks for the response. I look forward to our future collaboration. I too have my hands full, but don't mind my free time spent on open dental. The automation opportunities are vast with this software, and I'm willing to incorporate them as much as possible. I do have a programing backg...

Didn't quite catch you Justin. First time that I heard of this saopui thing. Does it compile C# projects like open dental or what? I actually compiled open dental from the svn, as described on the open dental website. I'm not in North America, so never been on support to get back on it in the first ...

I get it when you're a 'free' user and not on the support plan of any kind, you don't have a registration key. This means you won't be able to receive updates or make a feature request. But does that mean you don't get to even get notified of updates, or see what feature requests have been made alre...

Hi Jordan, Four years on from this discussion, although Open Dental is still the ONLY international multilingual software on the market with invaluable support of the middle-eastern languages, it seems complete right-to-left (RTL) support, i.e. mirroring of the ordinary layout, is somehow still lack...

Hi Justin,

Ever had a chance to test GoodDrs intra-oral cameras and OpenDental?

Cheers,

Yeah... same thing pretty much. Except this thing has an i5.. The lenova (is that who made that?) sported an Intel Atom. Worked, except for Intra-Oral cameras. More power, same concept. Why did not the oral cameras work? Because these are zero/thin clients? I'm considering such clients for operator...

Hi there, If I'm missing out on something here, I hear signing documents with finger on iPad is not legal in the US. I'm not sure to what percent is digital signature with stylus or finger on a touchpad legally adopted around the world. Of further note, as this is the iPad thread, I'm wondering at w...

Why would you want to store pharmacy name and number in patient info?
My guess is for further tracking, like if they gave them the wrong medicine or incorrect dose?!

DDS Dashboard seems like a very functional application, but the pricing is way off the board for developing countries. Anyways, I'd like to see an inventory section on such app, to check for the price of the previously purchased supplies and equipments, or their monthly payment plans (maybe under a ...

Jason, thanks a lot! Your elaboration was all that I wanted. Now that we know where to start, it seems an awful lot easier to do this. I'm pretty sure there are many good Jalali calendar codes in c# already. I'll follow up with you on this later when we get our hands dirty. Thanks everyone again. We...

Thank you for your input.

Moderators may want to move this topic to any forum that suits.

I still need some programmer insight on this. I think this won't be too complex to accomplish.

Cheers,

Thank you Arna for the clarification. Unfortunately, not a single release of Mircrosoft Windows has had a native Iranian (Jalali) calendar so far (2014, Windows 8 being the latest release). All you get by changing the region and language settings in Windows is a transliterated set of the Gregorian c...

Hi I've been evaluating the use of Open Dental for its localization options. As far as a test showed with the trial version, I could translate the interface into Farsi/Persian seamlessly with the exception of some right-to-left display glitches; however, the main issue remaining the calendar. In ord...
