How to Create the Finder using COMAPI in C#

In this blog, we are going to see how we can create the Sage 300 finder using the COMAPI in C# .Net.

This would be a useful to create a finder on custom projects.

Below are the steps which will guide through how we can create the Sage 300 finder.

New Stuff:  Create New Session using XAPI in C#

Step 1:

Include the Sage 300 COMAPI and Sage 300 Finder DLLs in the project.

Step 2:

Once the DLLs are included, create the object of the ViewFinder.

ViewFinder afinder = new ViewFinder();

Step 3:

Now we will assign a value to “Session”, “ViewID”, “InitKeyValue”, “InitKeyType”, “ReturnFieldIDs”, “DisplayFieldIDs” and “SearchFieldIDs” properties.

int[] DispArr = new int[5] { 1, 10, 4, 3, 24 };  // the array of field IDs that will be displayed in the finder’s columns.

int[] SearchArr = new int[5] { 1, 10, 4, 3, 24};  //the array of field IDs that will be used to search in the finder records.

afinder.Session = accpacDBLink.Session;

afinder.ViewID = “AP0015”;

afinder.InitKeyValue = “1200”;

afinder.InitKeyType = 1;

afinder.ReturnFieldIDs = 1;

afinder.DisplayFieldIDs = DispArr;

afinder.SearchFieldIDs = SearchArr;

Step 4:

Open the Finder

afinder.Finder();

Step 5:

Now we call the ReturnFieldValues property to return the selected field.

MessageBox.Show(afinder.ReturnFieldValues.ToString());

So using this code we can create a Finder using COMAPI.
