parameter list for hooks (RMS)

Search the forum for "hook list". It's been answered a couple of times this week.

There is a document available from Customer Source now, which I don't think used to be available as it is clearly labelled "Partner Only Article". CustomerSource, Support, Knowledge Base, Retail Management, Store Operations, Customization, you should fine it. ArticleID is 869720. There is a direct link in the post starting 1) Database Schema. I'm not sure if this is the elusive Customization Guide as it is pretty brief but it has a number of downloads available as well.

Available hook types.

0 PostTransaction 1 PrintReceipt 2 TenderBegin 3 ExportAccounting 4 AddItem 5 RefreshDisplay 6 InitializeTransaction 7 StartPOS 8 QuitPOS 9 SavePurchaseOrder 10 SaveSupplier 11 SaveCustomer 12 StartManager 13 QuitManager 14 SaveItem 15 TenderEnd

Thanks for that but what I am after is actually what the parameter number is for the "Transaction number" - if there is one.

For example I think customer number is passed via paramater number 5. I am writing a hook using hook type 1 which is working perfectly but I am wondering if via a parameter number, the transaction number could be passed to my DLL.

To get the transaction number, you pass the session object, using parameter 1 and then use Session.Transaction.TransactionNumber

If you create a temporary early bound session object, you can use intellisense or the object browser to check out all the different properties and methods available. Even Word lets you use the intellisense feature for properties.

'Code in Word's VBA editor with a reference to Store Operations Business Rules Public Sub test() Dim qs As QSRules.SessionClass qs.Transaction.TransactionNumber End Sub

The documentation I referenced in the previous post has a download explaining hooks which lists the possible parameters shown below. Before I had the document, I had no idea what the parameters were, except that parameter 1 meant I could pass the Session object. I actually thought it meant the number of parameters to pass and that different hooks had different parameter lists.

The possible values of Parameter are:

0: Default - DR SMS to maintain compatibility 1: Session Object - A pointer to QSRules.Session 2: Digital Receipt - SMS - XML string of DR (SMS DTD) 3: Digital Receipt - ARTS - XML string of DR (ARTS DTD) 4: Nothing - No parameter passed

Have fun.

Apologies for misreading your first post. ;-)

Thanks very much for that - Got a bit of work to do now :)

Thanks again - I just tried that and it worked perfectly.
