Objects

Applications expose their functionality to VBA through a set of programmable objects. These objects include windows, reports, grids and Dynamic User Object Store (DUOS) objects. The relationship each object has to another object is expressed in a hierarchical object model, shown in the following illustration:

The organization of the model is important, since you must navigate through the object model within VBA code to access lower-level objects. For example, to access a window field, you must first indicate the field’s window object:

'Set a field on a window
CustomerMaintenance.CustomerID.Value = "AARONFIT0001"

The following sections explains each object in more detail.

Windows

Most of the VBA programming you’ll complete for windows will involve the following objects.

Refer to Programming Windows and Programming Window Fields for more information about using VBA with windows.

Grids

Grids are VBA’s definition of a scrolling window. When working with grids, you’ll use the following objects:

Refer to Programming Grids for more information about using VBA with grids, and Programming Window Fields for information about programming window fields within a grid.

Reports

When working with reports, you’ll use the following objects:

Refer to Programming Reports for more information about using VBA with reports.

User information

When implementing a VBA integration, you may need to retrieve information about the user currently logged into Microsoft Dynamics GP. The UserInfo object provides access to this information. Refer to UserInfo Object for more information about retrieving user information.

Dynamic User Object Store (DUOS)

The Dynamic User Object Store (DUOS) allows you to store and display user-definable data.

Refer to Storing Additional Data for more information about using VBA with the DUOS.
