File Menu Entry Point from VC

[bsnayana]

Hi,

I am trying to execute a File Menu entrypoint from VC++ code.

can anyone please suggest how to do the same.

I have used below piece of code in my project to execyte the entrypoint.

Here, "Select Model" is one of the File menu item from my process model.

i wanted to execute "Select Model" menu item from VC++ code. but the below piece of code is executing operation failed message

I have doubt at my seqFile ptr. can you please suggest how to give process model seq file reference to seqFile ptr here.

{

        ExecutionPtr            newExecution = NULL;
        TS::SequenceFilePtr        seqFile =GetSequenceFile()    ;
        TS::SequenceFilePtr        processModel =     NULL;
        TS::EditArgsPtr            editArgs = NULL;
        TS::EditArgsPtr            seqArgs = NULL;
        _bstr_t                    entryPointName ="Select Model";
        
        TS::IEnginePtr engine = mApplicationMgr->GetEngine();
        processModel = engine->GetStationModelSequenceFile(NULL);
        editArgs = engine->NewEditArgs();
        editArgs->SetSelectedSequenceFile(seqFile);
        TS::PropertyObjectPtr container = engine->NewPropertyObject(PropValType_Container, FALSE, "", 0);
        container->SetValString("sequence", 0x1, "MainSequence");

        _variant_t vtEditArguments((LPDISPATCH)editArgs, TRUE);
        _variant_t vtSeqArguments((LPDISPATCH)container, TRUE);
               
        newExecution = engine->NewExecution(seqFile, entryPointName, processModel, 0,
                                            TS::ExecTypeMask_InitiallyHidden, vtSeqArguments, vtEditArguments, vtMissing);
        
        engine = NULL;

}

SequenceFilePtr CTestExecDlg::GetSequenceFile(void)
{
    RuntimeTrace(" TRACE---------CTestExecDlg::GetSequenceFile(void)        \n");//trace
    return mFile;
}

I'm assuming you have a process model configuration entry point placed in the File menu via a menu hint and that it works fine from the File menu. If so, the following code will execute it:

    long numInserted;
    TSUI::CommandsPtr commands = mApplicationMgr->NewCommands();
    commands->InsertKind(CommandKind_ConfigurationEntryPoints_Set, mSequenceFileViewMgr, -1, "File", "File, Edit, Execute, Debug, Configure, Tools, Help", &numInserted);
    commands->GetItem(0)->Execute(VARIANT_TRUE);
