VB.NET customization - nudge needed

Yahoo Archive
1
Bernie,

I am a sponge... any examples would be appreciated. Always helps with
learning new concepts.

I am still hoping to launch my own VB window as it may be something
that I would like to use from more than one module - I don't like
tying it down to a particular tab/panel of a module.

Thanks,

Bill

I am new to V8.03 customization and limited VB.NET experience - some
VB 6 coding experience, quit a bit of 4GL experience.

Can anyone supply some sample code to help me get started with V8
customization and VB.NET. I need a nudge to get me started. Once I
see an example, I can hopefully get a better understanding of the
proper way to communicate between V8 and .NET.

What I really would like to see is how (if it can be done) a new VB
form can be launched from within V8. This form would have input
fields to collect additional data and return that data to one or more
V8 UI field/object.

Also, can a VB.NET application be launched from within V8?

Any takers to the experts out there... Nothing fancy...

Thanks in advance...

You definitely add panels (tabs) and collect your information, bind
to fields within data views and update.

You can launch darn near any application via .net code

Searching the help can reveal many code examples too.

Any external apps that connect to Vantage will consume a license, so
it is probably best to try and do what you need through customization
of exisitng forms.....

I knew that it was possible to launch a ".exe" and there is an example
in the customization help but I didn't see how to launch a VB
application that I could use input-output parameters. Not just launch
a application.

I have searched the help and couldn't find a good example of a method
to create a VB window (maybe it cannot be done). I didn't want to
limited to a panel. Maybe I am expecting too much.

What I have done, to make a custom application within Vantage, is to use one of the UD Entry forms and hide all the base fields then add all of my own fields, call the adapters I need and do whatever. The downside is the standard menu buttons are still there but remain tied to the base form adapters. I could send you an example if you would like....

I knew that it was possible to launch a ".exe" and there is an example in the customization help but I didn't see how to launch a VB application that I could use input-output parameters. Not just launch a application.

I have searched the help and couldn't find a good example of a method to create a VB window (maybe it cannot be done). I didn't want to limited to a panel. Maybe I am expecting too much.
