Hi
For building a company/contact/group -list you could use the Lookup functionality
->Act.Framework.Lookups.LookupManager
For looking for activities you will find samples in ACT SDK Samples Reference (ACT!xy_Documented_Code Snippets.chm ->GetTaskListItems() example 3)
If you really would like to use IFilterCriteria based functions you will find a quick and verry dirty solution below . (One of the drawbacks doing it this way could be loosing forward/backward compatibility)
Public Class ContactLIKEFilter
Implements IFilterCriteria
Private SQLClause As String
Public Sub New(ByVal cf As ContactFieldDescriptor, ByVal Argument As String)
SQLClause = "[" & cf.ColumnName & "] LIKE '" & Argument & "%'"
End Sub
Public Function GetClause() As String Implements Act.Framework.IFilterCriteria.GetClause
Return SQLClause
End Function
End Class
Public Class MyQnDSamples
Public Shared Function GetContactFiltered() As ContactList
Dim cfdName As ContactFieldDescriptor = TheACTFWK.Contacts.GetContactFieldDescriptor( _
"TBL_CONTACT.LASTNAME", True)
Dim cSort() As SortCriteria = {New SortCriteria(cfdName, ListSortDirection.Descending)}
Dim CFL As New ContactLIKEFilter(cfdName, "Huffm" )
Dim ifc() As IFilterCriteria = {CFL}
Return TheACTFWK.Contacts.GetContacts(cSort, ifc)
End Function
End Class
