Creating an instance of MLSync – PB Docs 125

Adding an MLSync object programatically

The code fragment below creates an instance of an MLSync object
and programmatically populates all of the necessary properties—as
well as some optional properties—using an instance of the
system SyncParm structure. Then it calls the Synchronize function
to start the database synchronization.

Adding an MLSync object from the New dialog box

You can add an MLSync object to a target PBL using the New
dialog box: from the PowerBuilder menu, choose File>New,
go to the PB Object tab, select Standard Class, then MLSync. This
opens a new MLSync object in the User Object painter, where you
can initialize all or some of the properties. When you are finished,
you can save it as a new object in your target PBL.

Since all of the properties are already initialized, including
userids and passwords, it is ready for immediate use. To launch
a synchronization requires very little coding, as this example for
an MLsync object that you save as “nvo_my_mlsync” illustrates:

You would typically add the above code to the Clicked event
for a menu item or a command button on one of the application windows.
