Hi all
i have a VB program which I am trying to integrate with saleslogix V 7. I want to pass the contact id to saleslogix from my application and open the record for the contact id that I have passed.

Take a look at this article, although in C#, it does just what you're talking about: http://www.slxdeveloper.com/page.aspx?action=viewarticle&articleid=80

Basically, the code you'll need is this:

Dim slx As Object
Dim id As String
 
    id = "CXXXX0000001"
 
    Set slx = CreateObject("SalesLogix.SlxApplication")
    slx.BasicFunctions.ShowDetails("contact", id);
    Set slx = Nothing

You can also add a reference to the SalesLogix COM library to avoid the late-bound calls.

Make sense?

Hi Ryan,

Will this work for SalesLogix Web 7.0 also? If not then how can I do it for the web.

Thanx

This will not work for web. For the web client, it depends on where your code is running. If this is from an action script inside the client then you'd do something like this:

RequestSetValue "conid", "SOMECONTACTID"
DoTemplate ("conmain")

If you're doing this from an outside application you'd have to do two things. First figure out the correct URL to construct to load a contact, and second, get it loaded in the correct frame of an existing web client browser session. You'd want to get a reference to the IE window and then inject the URL into the proper frame.

Also, just to point out, getting the web client to navigate to a contact in 7.2 web is much easier.
