Add Eventtrigger Automation Variable

tomislav

Hi, following scenario:
I have a Variable, type is Automation, the Automation Object is a ActiveX Dll (VB6 frontend)
I have the Property "With Events" activated, there are events that are raised in the VB6 code to communicate with the Navision Codeunit in which that automation object is declared.
Now, how can I add an Event Trigger to the existing ones?
It only works for me right now in deleting the existing Automation Object and readd it to the variables, the new event trigger is listed then, but all the old event tirggers are emptied of the function calls I have had there...
thanks,
Tomi

That is the only way. So you need to save your C/AL code in the exisitng events first, before declaring the automation variable again (you can copy the code in the Documentation trigger).

Before adding the 'new' variable and refreshing the event triggers, I would probably open the object in design, do a "save as" with number 99999 or something, so you have a compiled object that you can then copy code as well as variables into the original one.

ok, will try that, because if I just copy into the document trigger and then delete/readd each time I change even the smallest thing, for example add another parameter, I will go nuts with all the copy paste stuff...there are over a dozen event triggers I am talking about in this object ;o)

You'll still have to copy/paste all the code and variables, but at least you won't have to recreate all the local variables, you can just copy them over.
