Application Options editing from API code?

[Anonymous]

I'm looking at a way to edit the Application Options tab when a particular file is opened. For example, by loading file "template" it would set constraint options to a standard, set the background color of the application, etc. giving me a songle file to load my preferred settings.

For a first run example, could someone help me with code such that when I open the file and run the rule, it would change the username from User to NWilson?

I'm very weak with the API code tools and structure, and I have zero VB experience. My train of thought is as follows:

Dim x = ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName

If x = User

Then ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName=NWilson

Obviously, I don't know this language yet, so you're helping me learn syntax as well as solve this particular problem. A link to any resources on this language would be doubly appreciated.

Thanks.

You have it

If ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName = "KRIEKJ" Then
	ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName = "JDK"
End If

As for the API  - I suggest you look through VBA and then iLogic is basically VB.NET 😉
