Stored procedures
Connects a user to an application that is using the User Groupware. This function checks whether the user is registered in the database of the User Groupware. If the user is identified, the application is automatically started by using the rights defined for this user.
Remark: No login window is automatically opened: the login and password are directly passed as parameters to the function. The login and password could have been entered in a custom connection window (see the example).
Example
// Retrieve the login in a custom window
Login is string
Password is string
Open(WIN_MyLoginWindow, Login, Password)
// Check the login
nRes is int = gpwLogin(Login, Password)
// If the login failed
IF nRes <> gpwOk THEN
SWITCH nRes
CASE gpwError: Error("Error while initializing the groupware.")
CASE gpwUnknownUser: Error("Unknown user.")
CASE gpwInvalidPassword: Error("Invalid password")
END
EndProgram()
END
// Retrieve the first name of user
FirstName is string = gpwGetUserInfo(gpwInfoFirstName)
Info("Welcome" + FirstName)
