Embed 3rd Party Software

[pearcy]

Does the ACCPAC SDK facilitate the integration of 3rd party solutions 'within' the main application? For example, a ctrl key or shortcut key that would invoke the 3rd party product from various UI's within the application.

Thanks

Not really, you'll need Windows SDK calls for that.

Can I override the event handling within the UI to subsequently invoke my own utilities?

I am just researching the possibility of an add on product at present and I am not familiar with the architecture of the product or the SDK. Can aspects of the application - UI or business be subsclasses via the SDK?

What kind of product? It might have already been done.

I haven’t hashed out the specifics yet, but generally I want to extend some of the functionality in some of the main modules – customer, vendor and inventory. However, rather than develop an external solution I wanted to try and embed the functionality within dialog’s that could be invoked from the ACCPAC screens – however it sounds like the application/SDK does not lend itself to this type of integration.
