How to show the RBS Deny message programmatically?

Well, it is time to get into the RBS (even without printed documents :D). I have some menu options that will call SF features like MicroFour.StrataFrame.Data.ConnectionManager.ShowAvailableConnectionStrings().

I created a Security Permission named "DatabaseConnection" and assigned a Deny action to some Users, now here is the code I am using to test the security and show the Available Connection Strings form:

[quote]

Private Sub SetDatabaseConnection()

Dim customViewSecurityKey As String = "DatabaseConnection"

If SecurityBasics.CurrentUser.GetPermission(customViewSecurityKey).Action = PermissionAction.Deny Then

'-- Establish locals

Dim loEventArgs As CheckSecurityEventArgs

'-- Create the event args

loEventArgs = New CheckSecurityEventArgs(customViewSecurityKey)

'-- Raise the denied event

Me.OnSecurityDenied(New SecurityDeniedEventArgs(customViewSecurityKey, loEventArgs.PermissionInfo), True)

Exit Sub

End If

'-- Show the connection dialog and allow a connection to be selected

If MicroFour.StrataFrame.Data.ConnectionManager.ShowAvailableConnectionStrings() Then

'-- Since a connection was selected, then all of the existing dialogs need to be closed

' since their connection is established to the original source.

For Each loForm As Form In Me.MdiChildren

loForm.Close()

loForm.Dispose()

'-- Force the connections to be reset

MicroFour.StrataFrame.Data.ConnectionManager.SetConnections()

End If

End Sub

[/quote]

I got part of the code that deals with Me.OnSecurityDeny from the SF BaseForm class. This code is working fine, but I wonder this:

Am I using this code correctly to show the Deny message?
Or should I just simply be calling the Me.ShowMessageByKey(customViewSecurityKey)?
Or is there a method somewhere that will accept the customViewSecurityKey and show the Deny Message form?

Hi Dustin,

Thanks for the clarification.

Howdy :)

You are typically going to use ShowMessageByKey to show a custom security denied message if you are setting up your permissions with a "Message Key" denied action message, otherwise, you would just do a ShowMessage() with the message text.

Either way, you can get the message key or the message text via SecurityBasics.CurrentUser.GetPermission("YourKey").BlockedMessageOrKey

Hope it helps!
