Creating SO requiring approval from code(UIAPI)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am creating a SO from code using UIAPI as follows.

-First activate SO menu

-Fill up the SO details

-Click on the Add button

This SO is supposed to go for Approval, so a form to confirm sending the document for autorization open up.

I want to be able to enter some remarks in the Remarks field using code and also click the OK button using code.

How can i do it? Rirht now when i click on the Add button in SO form using code, the execution of the code stops at the autorization confirmation form and i cannot do anything but wait for a user to manually click on the OK button.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Satish.

Hi, I think this falls in the same department as getting rid of unwanted forms/dialogs.

One alternative is to fill keyboard buffer with characters that will (hopefully) go to the right form/dialog and invoke desired action.

Something like this

SendKeys (" ") ' send neutral keystrokes in order to wait for the SBO frm/dialog

'hope that the frm/dialog will be ready to process the command that comes with the next SendKeys

SendKeys ("Your command as a keystroke sequence")

itm.Click ' The line that invokes something you can't access otherwise.

Search for 'sendkeys' in this forum for more information on this option.

You could also use UIAPI to hook the formload event of Approval form and do whatever you want with the form. If you want to differentiate the behavior by the trigger of the Approval form, then hook your action that triggers the form and store some kind of uid in a global variable. Then in the formload event check if the uid value requires your action.
