Using UI ?

[Former Member]

Hi.

Im new to the SBO UI and would love to have explained how this works. I already know the DI.

I use C#.NET.

I would love to have explained - maybe even with some examples how to:

1. Connect to the UI

2. Run a form (let's say it should have 2 buttons) and a datagrid with some data from a table of your choice

3. Catch the button-clicked events and retrieve the chosen data from the grid..

Can you recommend some documentation or share some of your knowledge - it would be much appreciated.

The Best Regards

Wasn't aware of that point system. I'll keep that in mind next time..

There are a bunch of examples at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/documents/a1-8-4/sap business one sdk ui api samples.htm

This last link is on the right side of the developer page which is at: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/developerareas/businessone.sdn?node=linkDnode10

Below is some code I use to connect to the UI first and then to do a "Single sign on" to the DI.

Hope this helps.

Private Sub SetApplication()

Dim SboGuiApi As SAPbouiCOM.SboGuiApi

Dim sConnectionString As String

'//Connect to the GUI API Application Object

Set SboGuiApi = New SAPbouiCOM.SboGuiApi

'// for development mode:

'// the Connection String key must be put int the command line argument

'// of the project properties

sConnectionString = Command

'// connect to a running SBO Application

SboGuiApi.Connect sConnectionString

'// get an initialized application object

Set oSBO_Application = SboGuiApi.GetApplication()

End Sub

Sub SetCompany()

Dim sConstrDI As String

Dim sCookie As String

Dim ret As Long

'//Single sign on to DI Api Company Object

'//Acquire the connection context cookie from the DI API.

sCookie = oSboDICompany.GetContextCookie

'//Retrieve the connection context string from the UI API using the 'acquired cookie.

sConstrDI = oSBO_Application.Company.GetConnectionContext(sCookie)

'// before setting the SBO Login Context make sure the company ' is not connected

If oSboDICompany.Connected = True Then

oSboDICompany.Disconnect

End If

'Set the connection context information to the DI API.

ret = oSboDICompany.SetSboLoginContext(sConstrDI)

If Not ret = 0 Then

'the operation has failed.

Call Err.Raise(vbObjectError + errITEM_Company, "clsSBOManager.SetCompany", errITEM_CompanyStr)

End If

'Establish the connection to the company database.

ret = oSboDICompany.Connect()

If ret <> 0 Then

Call Err.Raise(ret, "clsSBOManager.SetCompany", "oSboDICompany.Connect")

End If

End Sub
