wrapper

guf

Hi,

I want to implement a feature on the creation of folder.
The folder name would be duplicate in a the custom 16 field.
It works great for the new folder. I create a wrapper on the IMANEXT2Lib.NewIManDocumentFolderCmd.

My problem is if the user try to edit the properties of the folder, the new name should be duplicate also to the custom 16 field.
I tried to create a wrapper for the IMANEXTLib.FolderACLCmd and on the pre_on_ok modify my context or my selected folder. It seems that the profiled is rewritten by the window.
I tried everything but my value is always reseted to its original.

could be great if someoen have idea to help on this.

thanks.

Hi,

I may need to clarify this.

My goal is to add to a document a metadata containing the name of the folder they are in.

For that I need to create a folder with a new metadata in the custom16. I would like this metadata to be the same as the name of the folder.

I have two case to consider folder creation and folder modification. I decided to write two ICommand event Wrapper one for each case.
1) for the folder creation I create a wrapper for IMANEXT2Lib.NewIManDocumentFolderCmd. This works great.

2) for the folder modification I use IMANEXTLib.FolderACLCmd. I believe this was the one I have to used as I didn't find any documentation on this part.
I try to modify the pre_on_ok event and add the following code:

Dim pFolder As IManage.NRTFolder
Set pFolder = mContext.Item("SelectedNRTFolder")
If StrComp(pFolder.Name, mContext.Item("PreviousName")) <> 0 Then
pFolder.AdditionalProperties.Remove "iMan___39"
Dim str
str = CStr(pFolder.Name)
pFolder.AdditionalProperties.Add "iMan___39", str
pFolder.Update
pFolder.AdditionalProperties.Refresh
pFolder.Refresh
End If

The folder is updated but as soon as the process enter in the post_on_ok function the custom16 ("iMan___39") is reseted to what it was previously. So it is like I have done nothing.

I may have misunderstand how the context works for an ICommand. I thought i may be able to modify it before or after the process.

I am really in a dead end here. My other solution would be to to fully rewrite the property window by my own, if I could avoid this it would be great.


Any help would be gladly welcome.
thanks
