Can someone please post a list of what the various parameter numbers refer
to (in relation to using Com object hooks).

Thanks.

Search the forum for "hook list". It's been answered a couple of times this
week.

There is a document available from Customer Source now, which I don't think
used to be available as it is clearly labelled "Partner Only Article".
CustomerSource, Support, Knowledge Base, Retail Management, Store Operations,
Customization, you should fine it. ArticleID is 869720. There is a direct
link
in the post starting 1) Database Schema. I'm not sure if this is the elusive
Customization Guide as it is pretty brief but it has a number of downloads
available as well.

Available hook types.

0 PostTransaction
1 PrintReceipt
2 TenderBegin
3 ExportAccounting
4 AddItem
5 RefreshDisplay
6 InitializeTransaction
7 StartPOS
8 QuitPOS
9 SavePurchaseOrder
10 SaveSupplier
11 SaveCustomer
12 StartManager
13 QuitManager
14 SaveItem
15 TenderEnd

Thanks for that but what I am after is actually what the parameter number is
for the "Transaction number" - if there is one.

For example I think customer number is passed via paramater number 5. I am
writing a hook using hook type 1 which is working perfectly but I am
wondering if via a parameter number, the transaction number could be passed
to my DLL.

To get the transaction number, you pass the session object, using parameter 1
and then use Session.Transaction.TransactionNumber

If you create a temporary early bound session object, you can use
intellisense or the object browser to check out all the different properties
and methods available. Even Word lets you use the intellisense feature for
properties.

'Code in Word's VBA editor with a reference to Store Operations Business Rules
Public Sub test()
Dim qs As QSRules.SessionClass
qs.Transaction.TransactionNumber
End Sub

The documentation I referenced in the previous post has a download
explaining hooks which lists the possible parameters shown below. Before I
had the document, I had no idea what the parameters were, except that
parameter 1 meant I could pass the Session object. I actually thought it
meant the number of parameters to pass and that different hooks had different
parameter lists.

The possible values of Parameter are:

0: Default - DR SMS to maintain compatibility
1: Session Object - A pointer to QSRules.Session
2: Digital Receipt - SMS - XML string of DR (SMS DTD)
3: Digital Receipt - ARTS - XML string of DR (ARTS DTD)
4: Nothing - No parameter passed

Have fun.
