Thanks to the excellent help of @hkeric.wci and @LoganS I have been able to use reflection to knock a few things off my users wish list (thanks so much!) Looking for some code guidance for reflection on a VB customization that I am trying to limp along with until I can upgrade to Kinetic and have it re-written next year. I have a button that clears a custom grid and fields but it leaves the info on the base form and treeview. The only way to eliminate it is using the clear button in the menu bar. I would like to keep the logic to the custom button to clear the grid and then add the logic to mimic the clear tool. Going through older posts here I have started with:
Dim mi as System.Reflection.MethodInfo
mi = GetType(Erp.UI.App.InvTransferEntry.InvTransferForm).GetMethod("Clear", BindingFlags.NonPublic Or BindingFlags.Instance)
mi.Invoke(InvTransferForm, new object() {})
Which compiles but when I press the button the grid clears and I receive an error
Application Error
