Form button to run all rules in 2012

[SteveX82]

Long story short, I am trying to find a way to add a button to an iLogic form that will run all rules in the document and "apply" all of the parameters in non-automatic rules.

With IV2010, I had been using the iTrigger and a rule I had found here on the forums to do so. However, I want this functionality to be operated from a single iLogic form and haven't found a way to manipulate the iTrigger0 parameter without encountering a bunch of issues.

Here are the caveats:

1) Some rules are set to run automatically, as they modify MultiValueLists and update "feedback" parameters depending on other selected parameters. Consequentially, I cannot set the form to use OK/Cancel/Apply buttons.

2) Some rules are NOT set to run automatically. These rules can take awhile to run (30-60 seconds total), and I don't want the assembly to rebuild itself every time one of the 30-40 design parameters is changed.

Is there a hidden "RunAllRules" function that I'm missing, or is there a way to place the iTrigger button into a form? I could link a form button a rule that has a complete list of "iLogicVB.RunRule("XXXXXX")" lines, but this would be tedious and require upkeep as new rules are added and deleted.

Thanks for any input you can provide.

Hi, Steve 

for "RunAllRules", you can get it from the context menu on iLogic brower->Rule panel 

is it works for you? 

Thanks

I need to find a way to utilize that "Run All Rules" command (or even the iTrigger command) from within an iLogic form. I figure there has to be a way to add either of these buttons to a form (or even a rule that contains the API command), but it is curiously absent from both the rule and form editor.

Hi, Steve

i can't find the exist "RunAllRule" to be added on form, but  you can create a external rule contains code to run all rules, here is a rule to run all rules(in the document) for your reference

==============================================================

    Dim oDoc As Document
    oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
   
    Dim oAddins As ApplicationAddIns
    oAddins = ThisApplication.ApplicationAddIns
   
    Dim oaddin As ApplicationAddIn
    Dim oiLogic As Object
    oaddin = oAddins.ItemById("{3BDD8D79-2179-4B11-8A5A-257B1C0263AC}")
    oiLogic = oaddin.Automation
   
    Dim rule As Object
    Dim docRules As Object
    docRules = oiLogic.rules(oDoc)
    If (Not docRules Is Nothing) Then
      For Each rule In docRules
            iLogicVb.RunRule(rule.Name)
      Next
    End If

==============================================================

as to add the "iTrigger  command ", it's easy to create a rule to realize the same function, like:

=====================

iTrigger + = 1

=====================

Let me know if it works

Thanks
