New debtor, assign a group when created

[DannyC]

When a new debtor is created, I want to add a particular group.

So far my code reads:

Code: Select all

public void Setup(JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.IJiwaForm JiwaForm, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin Plugin)
{
   if (JiwaForm is JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtorsUI.frmDebtor)
   {
      JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtorsUI.frmDebtor debtorForm = (JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtorsUI.frmDebtor)JiwaForm;
      debtorForm.Debtor.CreateEnd += DebtorNewGroup;
   }      
}
   
private void DebtorNewGroup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();
   JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Debtor debtor = (JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Debtor)sender;
   JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Group dbGroup = new JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Group();
   dbGroup.Group.ReadRecord("00614AA4EC754C7AA2D1");
   debtor.Groups.Add(dbGroup);
}

but dbGroup is null. I know I'm missing something but what? I got the ID "00614AA4EC754C7AA2D1" from looking in the CN_Groups table and just getting the groupID I want to add.

Version 7.2.1 SR5.

Code: Select all

JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Group dbGroup = new JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Group();

This will cause problems on versions 7.00.177.00 or later - you should be using the factory!

Code: Select all

JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Group dbGroup = Manager.CollectionItemFactory.CreateCollectionItem<JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Group>();

Or maybe you are using an earlier version than 7.00.177.00 ?

Sweet. That sorted it out.

For those playing along at home, this code adds a new group with the staff Admin. The default tickbox is automatically set.

Code: Select all

public void Setup(JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.IJiwaForm JiwaForm, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Plugin.Plugin Plugin)
{
   if (JiwaForm is JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtorsUI.frmDebtor)
   {
      JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtorsUI.frmDebtor debtorForm = (JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtorsUI.frmDebtor)JiwaForm;
      debtorForm.Debtor.CreateEnd += DebtorNewGroup;
   }      
}
   
private void DebtorNewGroup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Debtor debtor = (JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Debtor)sender;
   JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Group dbGroup = debtor.Manager.CollectionItemFactory.CreateCollectionItem<JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaDebtors.Group>();
   dbGroup.Group.ReadRecord("00614AA4EC754C7AA2D1");
   dbGroup.Staff.ReadRecordByUsername("Admin");
   debtor.Groups.Add(dbGroup);
}
