How to hide file dialog box with XMLPort export?

Alex_Chow · 2010-02-03

We have an automated process that exports to a directory automatically using the scheduler. The user sometimes needs to run XMLport using the RTC manually.

The question is how can the XMLport be ran in the RTC without the file dialog box appearing? I tried changing the UseRequestForm to No, and I defined a FileName in the XMLport properties (I use the currXMLport.FILENAME to overwrite what directory and filename the file should go to.)

However, doing the above, the file dialog box still appears. How do I make it so it doesn't show up?

This might be a thing I can learn from, maybe not :?:

As far as I know an XMLport does not have a Request Form and should always be called from another C/SIDE objects. I know an XMLport has a UseRequestForm property, but here fails my knowledge as I do not know what the use of that is.

If you're using RTC, the XMLport can be called directly.

The problem I'm having is only with RTC...

The trick is not call the xmlport directly but install call a CU that sets the destination of the xmlport and runs it.
