Setting the CurrentCompanyList

[lkamerman]

Is there a way to set the CurrentCompanyList similar to the SetCurrentContactList method on the ActApplication.ApplicationState's method?

I would like to set the CurrentCompanyList without necessarily using a Lookup - reason is I want to trap the current CompanyLookup and take a subset of those Companies and display them.

Is there a method for this or a way to exclude certain companies from the CurrentCompanyList?

Thanks,

Len

Hi Len,

The Act.UI.ActApplicationState.CurrentCompanyList is a get/set property so you should be able to do something like

oActApp.ApplicationState.CurrentCompanyList = myCompanyList;

Vivek is spot on, we can narrow the lookup via FilterCriteria and then assign our lookup as the CurrentCompanyList.

Thanks Vivek and Mike!

I have to learn to make less assumptions about the SDK.  I didn't even think to try this because there's a SetCurrentContactList method, which led me to believe you can't set the CurrentContactList property and likewise for its Company counterpart.

This makes my day!
