Finding some way in Flex

[vbajock]

Using the macform.save event, I can kick off a program when MRP begins. I have been unsuccessful in finding an event to kick of code when MRP finishes. There is a macform.PostSave event, which appears to be useless. Anyone who has come up with a work around on this will be appreciated!

I haven't worked with MRP that much because I created my own MRP VB app to run that takes about 1/2 the time of the macola one.....but I would imagine that a task in the task manager or in the processes is running just for the MRP like other macola modules. You could kick off a small application that monitors the Task Manager and when the MRP task is finished kick off your app.

Just an idea.

I figured I would have to do some thing like that, but I was hoping for a cleaner way. This is an example of what I said earlier about their VBA implementation not having the event handlers available to allow a programmer to do simple things in a straight forward manner, so you end up with jury rig stuff all over your app. Giving you a program open event, but not giving you a program close event to work with, bites. I only want to run one line of code to copy four stupid files from one company to another, and it is now a system level project.

what can I say VBA and Flex sucks. There would be an easier way by creating a COM object and then referencing it in your flex project but I am not sure how good you are with COM.

There's a way to do it through the Windows API. I'll probably go that route.
