How can I run a command from onlogon

I wrote a command and run it by pressing a button. How can I run it from OnLogOn?

Hi

From your brief description, it sounds like you need to use the OnLogOn method

Here's a screenshot from the Vault API help

The HelloWorld sample in the SDK contains the template for the method (but no actual code in it)

Hope that helps

Yes, thanks, I know that. But I don't understand how to call the command specifically from OnLogOn. I could run the written CommandHandler(CommandItem, CommandItemEventArgs). But I don't know how to receive CommandItemEventArgs at the moment of OnLogOn to pass it to CommandHandler.

Hi

Now I understand your question better

You can't use CommandItemEventArgs because the OnLogOn event doesn't have one

This is due to when the event occurs, immediately after the user has logged in, but before the UI is initialised

Because the UI has not initialised, there's no Context to pass into the event - all you have is the iApplication, which is the same as CommandItemEventArgs.Context.Application

If your command only uses CommandItemEventArgs.Context.Application, you can replace it directly, but if you use any other members of CommandItemEventArgs.Context, you'll need to look at another way of calling it

If you can tell me roughly what your command does, I might be able to suggest something

Hope that helps

Hello! My command runs AcquireFiles. The user has a configuration file that specifies which files and where to upload them. I rewrote this command based on Hello World. Also, the command only becomes available if the user selects a file, although it is not used in the command. This is probably wrong

Hi

In your command handler (FileDownloadCommandhandler), your code is essentially this

void FileDownloadCommandhandler(object s, CommandItemEventArgs e)
{
  Connection connection = e.Context.Application.Connection;
  AnalyzeTXTFile(connection);
}

To achieve the same thing in the OnLogOn method you would need this code

public void OnLogOn(IApplication application)
{
  Connection connection = application.Connection;
  AnalyzeTXTFile(connection);
}

That should get your AnalyzeTXTFile function running at the right point, and it should be relatively smooth from there
