Functionality Without Controls?
Posted: 24 Oct 07 5:25 PM

Hi all;
I was looking at the following functions:
Application.BasicFunctions.LookupUser
Application.BasicFunctions.LookupItemWithConditionByID ("Product:Name", True, "STATUS", "OBSOLETE", "<>", "")
I have been playing with it without much success and the documentation leaves a few items unanswered...
1.) Does anyone have a quick example of this?
2.) Do I have to have an actual control on my form to use this?
3.) Is there a similar call for bringing up a picklist without a control?
I was looking at cascading picklists & LookupEdit Controls to begin with; but if I don't actually have to handle a control - just a variable or Text field that would be pretty sweet!
Thanks,
Carla |

Got 2/3 of it. The documentation was a bit clearer after getting away from my desk for minute! 
Set objTest = Application.BasicFunctions.LookupUser
strlueGeneric = objTest.DisplayName
msgbox strlueGeneric
However, I did not find a similar call for picklists. |

Hi Carla,
This is totally doable. The SLX Application object does have a picklist collection. You can use that to return a Picklist object and can invoke that however you want. Here's a sample invoking the "State" picklist and displaying the selected item in a msgbox.
Dim list
Dim col
Set list = Application.Picklists.Item("state")
Set col = list.Select(4, "", 200, 200, 300, 300)
If Not col Is Nothing Then
MsgBox col.Item(0)
End If
Set list = Nothing
Here's what that is doing:
1) A Picklist object is retrieved from the Application.Picklists collection
2) The Select method is called on the Picklist to show the picklist dialog. The select method takes four parameters
- PickListColumnsEnum: 1=Orders, 2=Codes, 4=Items (Text)
- OldItemIDs: String of existing selected items (or blank if you want nothing selected)
- Left: Left coordinates for the dialog
- Top: Top coordinates for the dialog
- Width: width of the dialog
- Height: height of the dialog
3) The Select method returns an ICollection of strings that were selected. For the example above, I am assuming only a single item is selected
Does all that make sense?

Thanks Ryan!
I hadn't tried these methods before but I must say - it is awfully handy for cascading situations.
I will work with the code and let you know if I have any problems. Looks sensible.

Oy, I have been trying for the last hour to figure out how to get the OldItemIDs to work. I am getting the Picklist up just fine, but I cannot get it to auto select anything in it. I tried a few things, including the following...
Set col = list.Select(4, "Commercial Plumbing", 400, 400, 300, 300)
+
Set col = list.Select(4, GetPicklistValueByItemID(list,"Commercial Plumbing",1), 400, 400, 300, 300)
The "Commercial Plumbing" is both Text and code for the valid picklist item. Any insight would be much appreciated.
I am trying to allow users to select multiple items from a picklist, store it into a memo field, then when they go to change the selections, make sure that what was selected before defaults to select again on open of the picklist, full code is below, the Val stuff was an attempt to change the textline list to a comma seperated one when I thought that OldItemIDs may simply take that 
Sub Button1Click(Sender)
Dim list
Dim col
Dim Vals
Dim X
Vals = Memo1.Text
Vals = Replace(Vals, vbcrlf, ",")
Set list = Application.Picklists.Item("Quote-TypeOfWork")
Set col = list.Select(4, GetPicklistValueByItemID(list,"Commercial Plumbing",1), 400, 400, 300, 300)
If Not col Is Nothing Then
memo1.clear
for X = 0 to col.count - 1
Memo1.lines(X) = col.item(X) + vbcrlf
next
End If
Set list = Nothing
End Sub
