Dex SmartList GoTo button 1

[Borvik]

I've gotten stuck on the GoTo button.

Using the example from the sample integrating application I've constructed the code for Explorer_GoTo_Button:

inout anonymous field IN_ListView;
in integer IN_Object_Dict_ID;
in integer IN_Object_Type;
in integer IN_GoTo_Dict_ID;
in integer IN_GoTo_Item;

local long selected_item;
local string LeadID;
local string CustomerID;
local integer l_current_status;

{Is this the Go To item added to the Customer object?}
if IN_Object_Dict_ID = DYNAMICS then
	if IN_Object_Type = SMARTLIST_OBJECTTYPE_SALESTRANSACTIONS or IN_Object_Type = SMARTLIST_OBJECTTYPE_SALESLINEITEMS then
		if IN_GoTo_Item = resourceid(form SOP_Inquiry) then
			{Try to find the first customer selected in the list}
			selected_item = ListView_SelectionGet(IN_ListView, 1);
			if selected_item <> 0 then
				CustomerID = ListView_ItemGetLabel(IN_ListView, selected_item);
				warning CustomerID;
			end if;
		end if;
	end if;
end if;

I used this to determine to see how the selection was going.

This is what I found out. When under "Sales Transactions" I get something similar to:
ORDST2227 2STDORD BERRYMED0001

When under "Sales Line Items" I get something similar to:
2ORDST2226
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000049152

Obviously these are strings as CustomerID (to be renamed appropriately later) is of type string.

I need the SOP Type and SOP Number in both instances. While I can see them and could probably parse the string for them - that is not the optimal solution as I cannot guarantee that the SOP Number will follow the same scheme.

What is the best way to retrieve both the SOP Type and SOP Number during the Explorer_GoTo_Button script?

Thanks in advance!

There is also the ListView_ItemGetData() command that might contain useful data.

I think you will need to parse the data you already have. The 2 is the SOP Type. You know what the maximum length of the SOP Number is so you can grab that and then trim() off the spaces.

I did know what the 2 was, but I forgot that all strings are of fixed length - that solves the unknown sop number format.

Looks like that is the way to go.

Thanks Dave.
