Question: Popups during InsertFileAttachmentEx (v7.2 SP1)
Posted: 01 May 08 3:15 PM

Greetings!
From a VB.NET (2005) application, I'm calling to SalesLogix to attach a file for an account, like this:
Using slx_App As New SalesLogix.SlxApplication
slx_App.BasicFunctions.InsertFileAttachmentEx(strFilePathAndName, strAccountID)
End Using
My question:
How can I prevent the confirmation popup that asks for the file description? I mean, is there a way to silently just attach the file and move on?
Help is greatly appreciated. I need to routinely add 1+ attachments to 1+ contacts instantly and silently.
An extension of this question: what would the best way be to refresh the attachments grid without the user having to touch it? Sometimes I just need to attach 1 file to 1 contact and leave the contact on-screen for the user. Can I force the grid to refresh? |

Veronka,
I'm afraid I did have to resort to editing the database directly to accomplish this, but I'd be happy to outline the steps for you. Essentially, I've written a Library of SLX data accesses and functions to shortcut all of this.
1) I get/set the {AccountID}, {ContactID}, and {SLXUserID} that I need.
2) I make a call to slx_dbids("FILEATTACH") to get the new ATTACHMENTS table {KEY}.
3) I export or copy the file to \\{server}\{attachments share}\ with the name ! and {KEY} and {filename}
4) I insert to the ATTACHMENTS table (ATTACHID, ATTACHDATE, ACCOUNTID, CONTACTID, DESCRIPTION, DATATYPE, FILESIZE, FILENAME, USERID) the values ({KEY}, Now, {AccountID}, {ContactID}, {the name I want the file to show in the ATTACHMENTS grid}, "R" (don't ask me why), io.Filestream(filename, io.filemode.open).length, {full server filepath and filename in attachments directory}, {SLXUserID})
That's really it. I was always hoping to find an SLX function like Basic.Attachments.SLX_InsertFile_WithNo$#&^%#Popups(), but Sage in its infinite wisdom has not graced us with that yet.

If sync is involved you'll also need to call Application.BasicFunctions.LogSendFileAttachment so the doc is queued for sync along with the table entry. Again, the problem here is that the function is only exposed via the Application object (so the client has to be running)
