A generic QuickBooks object, allowing users to extend the product's functionality.

Syntax

QBObject

Remarks

QBObject is implemented for extensibility, and allows the user to extend the functionality of the control set. The control handles the XML parsing and QuickBooks connection, and leaves it to the user to specify the list of properties to include.

QBObject may be used to implement any object supported by version 1.1 of the QuickBooks SDK. For example, it could be used to implement a transaction line item. The full list of objects and their properties is in the SDK documentation; users of QBObject should download and refer to the SDK documentation for this information.

To add an object to QuickBooks, first set ObjectName to the name of the object being implemented; for example, "ItemService". Then, set ObjectType to the type of object: "List" for a list item, or "Txn" for a transaction item. Then, specify each property in order using the AddProperty method. Finally, invoke Add.

To get an object, set ObjectName and ObjectType as before, and then invoke Get. The object's property values may then be inspected using GetProperty. The object may also be deleted by invoking Delete.

The control does not implement any knowledge of QuickBooks business rules, and simply constructs QBXML based on ObjectName, ObjectType, and the calls to AddProperty. If the control is unable to construct valid QBXML it will fail with an error.

The following pseudocode shows how to add a service line item to QuickBooks.


QBObject1.ObjectName = "ItemService"
QBObject1.ObjectType = "Txn"
QBObject1.AddProperty("Name", "Item name here")
QBObject1.AddProperty("SalesOrPurchase",
  "<AccountRef><FullName>Account name here</FullName></AccountRef>")
QBObject1.Add()
