[gme-users] modeless dialog box

[Peter Volgyesi]

Hi,


1., Add a new dispatch wrapper class to your BON2 project:
    a., Invoke the Class Wizard (CTRL-W)
    b., Click on Add Class... and select From a Type Library...
    c., In the file chooser select the GME.exe file 
    e., In the next dialog select IGMEOLEApp (The other default settings are
OK, or you can choose custom class and file names), click OK and close the
Class Wizard (OK)
2., Include the generated GME.h in your BON2Component.cpp
3., Insert the following code snippet into Component::invokeEx() or
whereever you want:
	
	Folder root = project->getRootFolder();
	ASSERT(root);
	std::set<FCO> rootFCOs = root->getRootFCOs();
	FCO firstFCO = *rootFCOs.begin();
	CComPtr<IMgaFCO> mgaFCO = firstFCO->getFCOI(); // Modify this line
to show other object
	CComPtr<IMgaProject> mgaProject = project->getProjectI();
	ASSERT(mgaProject);

	CComPtr<IMgaClient> gmeClient;
	CComBSTR gmeName("GME.Application");
	COMTHROW( mgaProject->GetClientByName(gmeName, &gmeClient) );
	ASSERT(gmeClient);

	CComPtr<IDispatch> gmeDispatch;
	COMTHROW( gmeClient->get_OLEServer(&gmeDispatch) );
	
	IGMEOLEApp gmeApp(gmeDispatch);

	CComPtr<IMgaTerritory> terr;
	COMTHROW( mgaProject->get_ActiveTerritory(&terr));
	ASSERT(terr);
	COMTHROW( mgaProject->CommitTransaction() );

	gmeApp.ShowFCO(mgaFCO);
	
	COMTHROW( mgaProject->BeginTransaction(terr) );
