Opening Links Page via C/AL Code

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by mbr 5,136

Hello, I am trying to open the LInks Page via C/AL code.  I was using below code to open it but it's not consistent and doesn't always work.  Basically, the links page is opened depending on the value of a checkbox and is triggered by the on validate event of the checkbox.  Below is my current code on validate:


          IF ISCLEAR(WSHShell) THEN
            CREATE(WSHShell,FALSE,TRUE);
            Window.OPEN('Links Page Opening...\\' + STRSUBSTNO(txtMsg,AddTxt));

            WSHShell.SendKeys('^l');   //simulate CTRL L - this is the one that opens the link page
            
            SLEEP(7000);  //to give the windows message a little bit of time to pop up a message for user 
        

            Window.CLOSE;

Any suggestion on a better way to open the links page?

    Hi,

    Could you try using the ExtendedDatatype mechanism used in the Home Page field on the Company Information?

    Try to use TRUE,TRUE when you create automation and clear it after the process

    IF ISCLEAR(WSHShell) THEN
 CREATE(WSHShell,TRUE,TRUE);
 Window.OPEN('Links Page Opening...\\' + STRSUBSTNO(txtMsg,AddTxt));
 WSHShell.SendKeys('^l');   //simulate CTRL L - this is the one that opens the link page
       
 SLEEP(7000);  //to give the windows message a little bit of time to pop up a message for user 
   

 Window.CLOSE;
 CLEAR(WSHSHELL);

    That did it!!!! Thank you Suresh.  I was wondering why it only works the first time.  But if I decide to unclick on the check button and click on it again which would trigger the popping of the link, it just won't work properly!  Yes!  Thank you much. I will test more but so far, it really seems to work gracefully.
