Opening specific order doc through code

Posted on Jan 05, 2005 at 01:28 PM 12 Views

Hi all,

Sorry to bother, but this one is a bit weird. I'm trying to open a specific order document through vb-code. As there appears to be no other option than through the menu's, I'm trying this code:

sbo_app.ActivateMenuItem (ORDERMENU)

sbo_app.SendKeys ("^F") '<= enter search mode

sbo_app.SendKeys (strValue) 'orderno

sbo_app ("")

The resulting form is indeed the sbo-orders form, in search-mode, but the ordernummer is not entered (it is there in code). The cursor is blinking inside the correct screen-item.

I even tried a 500 milsec pause and a 0-100 doevents loop before sending the orderno.

Any suggestions? Is there a better solution?

Thanks,

Jacques

    Jacques,

    Are you trying to open Order document, using the DocEntry, from the form which you are created?

      Thanks Hamdi,

      I was afraid it would have to be something like that.

      I was trying to avoid something like this, because I'm not a fan of variable-use like the 'oLookup', but I guess it will have to do...

      Thank you,

      Jacques

    Hi Jacques,

    Perhaps you can use this sort of code :

    sbo_app.ActivateMenuItem (ORDERMENU)

    Set vForm = SBOApplication.Forms.GetFormByTypeAndCount(139, 0) <== set vForm as new opened Order Form

    vForm.Mode = fm_FIND_MODE <== enter order form find mode

    Set vEditText = vForm.Items("8").Specific

    vEditText.String = strValue <== Rather than sending Order no with sendkeys, send Order No as String Value to Edit Text Control in Order form

    vForm.Items("1").Click <== Click Find Button

      Hi Arief,

      Problem with that code is that you simply can't retrieve the count needed for your form. If there is only one single order window, the count is 1 according to UI-helpfile (and therefore you could use 139,1), but if the user has several of them open already, you just don't know. (or is there a counter I can read somewhere?)

      That's why Hamdi proposed the form-activate event.

      Thank you for your time!

      Regards,

      Jacques
