  • Hello,

    for such tasks, usually the easiest way around is to turn on the log filter from the CIW options, keep track of the commands and then execute them sequentially via code:

    Then you can track the stack trace in the CIW and try to recreate it within hiRegTimer API calls with some delay and escaping the quotes.
    Your example might work with something like this:

    hiRegTimer("_axlInstallMainAndSubApps(\"explorer\")" 1)
    hiRegTimer("axlIntroForm->radioField->value=\"Create New View\"" 10)
    hiRegTimer("hiFormDone(axlIntroForm)" 12)
    hiRegTimer("hiFormDone(deNewForm)" 15)

    Regards,

    Petar

    I was going to answer this yesterday but I was travelling. I checked, and there's no direct way of changing the default for this form. You could use the approach that Petar suggested, but for this specific situation it's a terrible way of automating creation of an ADE view.

    The best approach is to switch to using ADE Assembler instead (ADE XL is end-of-lifed anyway), and then you have the mae.* SKILL functions available. You can use maeOpenSetup() to create a new view, you can add tests to to it with maeCreateTest() and so on. No need to mess around trying to interact with forms which are liable to change - there's a decent batch programming interface already available.
