How to implement opening Link form

gerba

Hi all!

I have to create a button in a Form, that does the same, as the paperclip in the toolbar: Open the Links form.
I see two possibities:
a) Implement the same as the paperclip does -> question: how can I find out, what it does?
b) Using SendKey needing the WShell Object (not very good)

Questions:
1. How would you resolve that?
2. Which form is being opened, when clicking the paperclip?

Thx for any hint!

Hi Gerald,

Why not use the link as is - two clicks?
how will you know which link file to use?

If you need it down to one click then find the link and use the HYPERLINK command

Hi all!

I decided to send 'Ctrl+L':

Creating a new form does not work, as you'd have to filter on the field 'Record ID' in table 'Record Link' - this is not possible.

Thanks for your help

Sure it is possible to filter on the Record ID field. Just use a RecordRef and something like this:

RecLink.SETFILTER("Record ID",FORMAT(RecRef.RECORDID));

Hi!

My code:

contactRecRef.OPEN(DATABASE::Contact);
contactRecRef.SETPOSITION(STRSUBSTNO('No.=const(%1)',"No."));
recordLink.SETFILTER("Record ID",FORMAT(contactRecRef.RECORDID));
MESSAGE(FORMAT(recordLink.COUNT));

The message shows 0, although there IS a link attached to the current contact.
If I deactivate the third line (SETFILTER), the message shows the number of all records in the table 'Record Link'.

What's wrong?

Thank you!
That's it!

Me too. :-)
WSHShell.SendKeys('^'+'l'); did the trick.
