Hi all friends

Is there any possibility to customize a form (session), add one button or menu item on (entry or list session) and write own code on button press or menu click event?

Actuyll I want to call an external application on a user action (button press etc).

Thanks in advance

Sure.
you need to define additional button and link it a user choice.
you can then program in the script to call your external application.

Example:
choice.user.1:
after.choice:

Use form spec. options to define the user choice number and label.

Hej,

Yes forms can be customized so you can add your own buttons. A bit further down you'll find a code-fragment to start any application from baan.

The session for customizing forms is ttadv3500m000. In there you will find the option "Form-Commands".


|*
|* Pragma
|*
|DLL for Applikationstart
#pragma used dll "ottdllbw"

|This will Start the programm. The command can be any
|program, for example "winword"
retval = app_start(command, "", "", "", "")


Good luck. :D

Hi all friends

Thanks malutz & tools123 for your help.

Yes, one more thing, while defining the new command for form, there is one attribute as "Activate a" and possible options are
Session
Menu
Function

I selected "Function" because I dont want to launch another session or a menu item. Now, how I attach a function to that command? I have given a name of function while defining the form command and also written a function of the same name in the session script. When I run the session and press that command button to run the command it gives message that

"Function <Function Name> for this form specific command could not be found"


Thanks in advance

hej,

did you declare the function as extern?

function extern ....()

Hi,

Thanks malutz, its working well by defining the function as EXTERN.

Thanks again
