Autologin operator

[Bojer]

Hi All.

I'm trying to figure out how to autologin "operator" from the OI, I don't want to use Callbacks, because this will also influence in the editor, as far as I see it.

I have tried to "play" with propertynodes, but cant figure out where to write the user information.

So please help.

Kind regards Bojer

There are a few ways to do this.

1) Using the front end callbacks (you can still force a login on the editor if you check for the property RunState.IsEditor). Check to see if it is the editor. If it is, follow the normal callback. If not, then automatically log the user in. You can do this by using the Engine property "Current User". You must obtain a user object (which is done by calling Engine.GetUser with the login name). Set this object in the Engine.CurrentUser.

2) If you want to only change the operator interface, you can do it another way. You can set the property on the ApplicationMgr (if you are using the UI Controls) for "LoginOnStart" to be false. You can then get the engine object from the ApplicationMgr control, and follow the same steps as above.

Hope this helps!
