Default user?

[n_lev]

Fair enough. Thanks for your help, guys. I implemented what I needed by dpConnect'ing to the username and re-logging in into "guest" once the username changes to "".

Sorry to open up an old thread but this is exactly the functionality we want to implement.

Can anyone please tell me what function to use to re-login as guest? I have tried setUserId(4096) [and variations like setUserId(getUserId("guest") or setUserId(4096, "")] but this does not seem to work.

Many thanks.

I did something like this:

Code: Select all

main()
{
  string dp;
   
  dp = myUiDpName() + ".UserName:_original.._value"; 
  dpConnect("changeUser", dp);
}  

changeUser (string dpUser, string user)
{
  // If username changed to ""
  // login as "guest"
  // When logging in from one user to another
  // the system actually changes Ui.UserName to "" first
  // before changing it to a new user name
  // hence the use of "getUserName()" function
  // so we can ignore that first change to the Ui.UserName
  if(user == "" && getUserName() == "") 
  {
    setUserId(getUserId("guest"),""); 
    dpSet(dpUser,"guest");
  }
}

That should get you started
