When a certain macro runs, I want th To put the question differently: When a certain macro runs, I want the submit window it opens to behave slightly differently than if the window opens any other way. How can I have an active link detect the fact that the window was opened by a certain macro?
The bigger story is that I have an external application doing a DDE call to Remedy User to open the ticket window for submit and populate a few fields, including requester's login. I want a user lookup to happen with login as the key, if the ticket submit window opens this way. --- My current solution is to have the macro invoked by DDE set a hidden temp field to a certain value. Then an active link firing on "Window Loaded" has a run if that is true only if that field has that value. This method is not working, because this active link sees this field as blank. However, when the window opens, I see the value in the field. So, the field is getting the value after Window Loaded event has completed. Weird. That's not what I read on the 6.3 Basic manual and that's not how I thought it worked. --- On Thu, 4/22/10, Rabi Tripathi <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Rabi Tripathi <[email protected]> > Subject: On "Window Loaded" active link doesn't see field values??? > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, April 22, 2010, 1:18 PM > I have an active link firing on > "Window Loaded".
