External Commands from POS, eg calc.exe

NeilC

Hi Folks,

Hoping someone can help me here, I want to run an external command from one of my tills, something like Calc.exe for example, or services.msc.

I think i need to use a shell command but how do i do this from the POS menu?

regards

You need to run an external application from NAV :?:

If yes, search the forum for WSH.run or WSH.execute

You can use RUNOBJECT command and in parameters specify the CU Number you need to run on POS menu setup.

Then program you CU to do what it needs to do.

It's not a CU. What I want to do is set up a button on the tills in my remote sites that will bring them to a citrix login, (which will auto login to my HO) and look at a form which will enable them the see stock levels in all other stores.

you will start a citrix session from NAV ?

That's the plan......... or should i hang my head in shame? :whistle:

i say nothing .... :whistle:

Try this:

Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
FileRec	Record	File	
WSHShell	Automation	'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell	
MyApp	Text		30
MyID	Text		30

MyApp := 'Citrix Head Quarter'; //<- it's the name of your citrix App Icon name
MyID := 'oy6frkiy'; //<- this u find in the folder C:\Document & Settings\Username\Application Data\ICAClient file oy6frkiy.idx without idx ;-) in your system the idx file has not the id oy6frkiy, it has a other name ....

//how to find the file whith using system tabe FILE you know. (File.setrange())
//now we run citrix:

if isclear(WShShell) then
  create(WSHShell);
wshShell.exec ('C:\Program Files\Citrix\ICA Client\pn.exe /APP ' + MyApp + ' /PNI ' + MyAppID); //if your pn.exe is in this path

To open there ever on logon a specific form, u can add on CU in Function CompanyOpen the call to the form like:

UserSetup.get(Userid);
IF UserSetup."Autorun Form Object ID" <> 0 THEN
FORM.RUN(UserSetup."Autorun Object ID");
