MFWorkplaceTopic - MFWorkplaceInfo

,
1

Hello Konstantin,

I encountered the same problem like you. My solution uses the Reflection API to add a MFWorkplaceTopic to its MFWorkplaceInfo. The MFWorkplaceInfo class contains a protected method called addTopic(MFWorkplaceTopic topic).
The topic has been created using a dummy MFWorkplaceInfo object.
That has to work until there is a change in the Application Designer API :smiley:

Iā€™m working with 

 private boolean zeichneWareneingangsMenu(MFWorkplaceInfo infoItem)   {
       MFWorkplaceInfo tempItem = new MFWorkplaceInfo();
        
        MFWorkplaceTopic tempTopic =   = new MFWorkplaceTopic(      
                               "Wareneingang", tempItem);
...
           addTopicToInfo(infoItem, tempTopic);
...
 }      
        protected void addTopicToInfo(MFWorkplaceInfo info, MFWorkplaceTopic topic) {
 /* check if the topic contains any subelements or do something similar */
            if (topic.getTree().getRowCount()==0) return;

/* else add the topic to the MFWorkplaceInfo */
            Class cinfo = info.getClass();
       
            Class[] parameterTypes = new Class[] {MFWorkplaceTopic.class};
            Method getMethod = null;
            try {
                getMethod = cinfo.getDeclaredMethod("addTopic", parameterTypes);
            } catch (SecurityException e) {
                logger.info("WorkplaceHelper.SecurityException()"+e.getMessage());

            } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
                logger.info("WorkplaceHelper.NoSuchMethodException()"+e.getMessage());

            }
            logger.info("WorkplaceHelper.getMethod()"+getMethod);
            
            Object[] objects = new Object[] {topic};
            try {
                getMethod.setAccessible(true);
                getMethod.invoke(info,objects);
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                logger.info("WorkplaceHelper.IllegalArgumentException()");
            } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                logger.info("WorkplaceHelper.IllegalAccessException()"+e.getMessage());
            } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
                logger.info("WorkplaceHelper.InvocationTargetException()");
            }
            
        }

Best regards
