ObjSearch is used to search the QuickBooks database.

Syntax

TiqbObjSearch

Remarks

ObjSearch is used to search the QuickBooks database. When ObjSearch is called a QuickBooks search is initiated using the specified search filters.

Example (Querying for Invoices) ObjSearch1.QueryType = qtInvoiceSearch ObjSearch1.TransactionDateStart = "10/01/2002" ObjSearch1.EntityName = "Joe Reckless" ObjSearch1.PaidStatus = psUnpaid ObjSearch1.Search() Invoice1.QBResponseAggregate = ObjSearch1.ResultAggregate(0) Invoice2.QBResponseAggregate = ObjSearch1.ResultAggregate(1) ' etc. ObjSearch may only be used to search for one type of object at a time. The type of search should be specified in QueryType before beginning the search. The maximum number of returned objects may also be specified in MaxResults.

The search may be executed by calling the Search method. After Search is called ResultCount will hold the number of results, ResultId will hold the Ids returned and Aggregate will hold information for the objects returned. To instantiate an object, set its QBResponseAggregate property to the appropriate Aggregate.

One or more search filters may be specified. These filters limit the search to records meeting specified criteria. If no filters are specified, ObjSearch will return all objects in the database, up to the limit specified by MaxResults.

The following filter may be specified in all searches:

ModifiedDate FilterLimits the search to records last modified before/after specified dates. One or both of ModifiedDateStart and ModifiedDateEnd may be specified.

The following filters may be specified when searching for entities (a Customer, Vendor, or Employee). The Name filter may also be specified for Item searches.

Name FilterLimits the search based on the name of the entity. One or both of NameRangeStart or NameRangeEnd may be specified to limit the search to a range of names. Alternatively, one of NameStartsWith, NameEndsWith, or NameContains may be specified.
TotalBalance FilterLimits the search to entities with balances at least TotalBalanceMinimum or at most TotalBalanceMaximum (not defined for Employee).

The following filters may be specified when searching for transactions:

RefNumber FilterLimits the search based on the RefNumber (i.e., check number, invoice number, etc.) of the transaction. One or both of RefNumberRangeStart or RefNumberRangeEnd may be specified to limit the search to a range of RefNumbers. Alternatively, one of RefNumberStartsWith, RefNumberEndsWith, or RefNumberContains may be specified.
TransactionDate FilterLimits the search to transactions with a date before or after specified dates. One or both of TransactionDateStart and TransactionDateEnd may be specified.
Entity FilterLimits the search to transactions associated with the entity specified by EntityName.
Account FilterLimits the search to transactions associated with the account specified by AccountName.

Note that for TimeTracking searches the Account and RefNumber filters are not used.

The following additional filter may be specified for Bill and Invoice objects.

PaidStatus FilterLimits the search either to paid or unpaid bills or invoices only, as specified in PaidStatus.

The additional filters may be specified for Item objects.

Name FilterLimits the search based on the name of the item (see above).
ItemType FilterLimits the search to the type of item specified by ItemType.

IncludeLineItems Property (ObjSearch Component)

Indicates whether to include line items in the response.

Syntax

property IncludeLineItems: Boolean read get_IncludeLineItems write set_IncludeLineItems;

Default Value

true

Remarks

This filter allows you to omit line items from a query response to get a smaller result. The default value is true, so line items are returned by default. Set IncludeLineItems to false to exclude line items in the response if you don't need to read line item data.

IncludeLinkedTxns Property (ObjSearch Component)

Indicates whether to include linked transactions in the response.

Syntax

property IncludeLinkedTxns: Boolean read get_IncludeLinkedTxns write set_IncludeLinkedTxns;

Default Value

false

Remarks

If you set IncludeLinkedTxns to true, then the returned object will include a list of all the transactions linked to the queried object (this list is similar to the History view of a transaction in the user interface, but not identical, as the SDK list contains only linked transactions, not items). Each linked transaction will be represented by a LinkedTxn aggregate, which will be part of the Aggregate. Passing this aggregate to the corresponding component will parse the linked transactions into their respective properties.

IterateResults Property (ObjSearch Component)

Indicates whether to perform iterative searches when QBXMLVersion = 5.0 or greater.

Syntax

property IterateResults: Boolean read get_IterateResults write set_IterateResults;

Default Value

true

Remarks

This property allows the user to enable or disable iterative searching (Query Iterators) when QBXMLVersion is 5.0 or greater. Please see GetNextResults for more info.

MaxResults Property (ObjSearch Component)

The maximum number of results to be returned from a search.

Syntax

property MaxResults: Integer read get_MaxResults write set_MaxResults;

Default Value

0

Remarks

The maximum number of records to return from QuickBooks.

If MaxResults is set to 0, all records matching the search criteria will be returned.

QBConnectionString Property (ObjSearch Component)

An aggregate consisting of various QuickBooks connection properties.

Syntax

property QBConnectionString: String read get_QBConnectionString write set_QBConnectionString;

Default Value

''

Remarks

QBConnectionString allows the user to customize the application's interaction with QuickBooks.

The connection properties should be formatted in a sequence as follows:

propertyname = "propertyvalue" propertyname = "propertyvalue" ...

The order is irrelevant, and the whitespace around the equal sign is optional.

The following properties are currently supported:

ApplicationNameThe name of the developer's application. This name will appear when the application first connects to QuickBooks; QuickBooks will display this name and prompt the user to grant or refuse access.
CompanyFileThe name of the company file to open. If QuickBooks is not currently open with a company file, QuickBooks will be automatically opened in the background with the file specified. Do not set CompanyFile when QuickBooks is open; if QuickBooks is open through the application UI, only that company file may be used.

This setting is not applicable when communicating with QB Connector.

URLThe URL for the Remote Connector, e.g., 'http://localhost:2080'. If the URL is specified, the component will not communicate directly with QuickBooks, and will instead send a request to the specified web address. QuickBooks and the Remote Connector should be installed at the remote location, and if the connector is listening on the specified port, it will communicate the component's request to QuickBooks, and return the response.
UserA username for the Remote Connector connection (if required on the Connector side)
PasswordA password for the Remote Connector connection (if required on the Connector side)
TimeoutA timeout, in seconds, for the Remote Connector connection. If the Connector does not finish and respond within the chosen length of time, the component will generate an exception instead of hanging.
DelayAfterCloseA delay, in milliseconds, to be applied after each time a connection to QuickBooks is closed. If QuickBooks is generating internal errors (in particular with automatic login) setting this delay to a positive value may solve the problem.
FirewallHostContains the name or IP address of firewall. If a FirewallHost is given, the requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.
FirewallPasswordContains a password if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall. If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword configs are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception.
FirewallPortContains the TCP port for the firewall FirewallHost. Note this is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.
FirewallTypeDetermines the type of firewall to connect through. Supported values are: 0 - no firewall (default), 1 - Tunneling proxy, 2 - SOCKS4 proxy, and 3 - SOCKS5 proxy. For the Tunneling proxy (1), the FirewallPort defaults to 80. For SOCKS4 (2) and SOCKS5 (3) the FirewallPort defaults to 1080.
FirewallUserContains a user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall. If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword configs are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the component raises an exception.
ProxyAuthorizationSupported values are 0 - Basic authorization, 1 - Digest authentication, 3 - No authentication, and 4 - NTLM authentication.
ProxyPasswordContains a password if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
ProxyPortContains the TCP port for a ProxyServer; (default 80).
ProxySSLDetermines when to use SSL for the connection to the proxy. The applicable values are 0 - Automatic (SSL for https URLs, non-SSL for http URLs), 1 - The connection is always SSL-enabled, 2 - SSL is not enabled for any connection, and 3 - Connection is through a tunneling proxy.
ProxyServerIf a ProxyServer is specified, then the HTTP request is sent to the proxy instead of the server otherwise specified. If the ProxyServer is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the ProxyServer is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.
ProxyUserContains a user name, if authentication is to be used for the proxy.
LocalHostThe name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.
LocalPortThe TCP port in the local host where the component binds.
UseRDSWhether to connect using Remote Data Sharing (RDS). If set to True, the component will attempt to connect using the RDS client installed on the machine. The RDS client and server must be configured separately. The default value is False.

QBRequestAggregate Property (ObjSearch Component)

The request aggregate.

Syntax

property QBRequestAggregate: String read get_QBRequestAggregate write set_QBRequestAggregate;

Default Value

''

Remarks

This property will be populated when QBRequestMode is set to rmOffline and a method is called. This is used when working with the QBWCServer component to generate requests to be sent to QuickBooks Web Connector.

This property is not available at design time.

QBRequestMode Property (ObjSearch Component)

Defines whether the request is made online or stored offline.

Syntax

property QBRequestMode: TiqbQBRequestModes read get_QBRequestMode write set_QBRequestMode;
TiqbQBRequestModes = ( rmOnline, rmOffline );

Default Value

rmOnline

Remarks

This property defines the behavior of the component when calling a method. Possible values are:

0 (rmOnline - default) The request is made normally.
1 (rmOffline) The request is generated but not sent, and QBRequestAggregate is populated.

The use of offline mode is required when using the QBWCServer component. This allows requests to be generated and passed to QuickBooks Web Connector through the QBWCServer component.

For normal communication to QuickBooks either directly or through the QBConnector application use the default online mode.

QBResponseAggregate Property (ObjSearch Component)

The last QBXML response aggregate received from QuickBooks.

Syntax

property QBResponseAggregate: String read get_QBResponseAggregate write set_QBResponseAggregate;

Default Value

''

Remarks

The last QBXML response aggregate received from QuickBooks. This property is set whenever a response is received from QuickBooks.

This property may also be set to a response aggregate. When set to a QBXML aggregate, such as a response from ObjSearch or QBWCServer the component will parse the response as if it had been received directly from QuickBooks and the applicable properties will be updated.

This property is not available at design time.

QBXMLVersion Property (ObjSearch Component)

The version of QBXML used in the outgoing message.

Syntax

property QBXMLVersion: String read get_QBXMLVersion write set_QBXMLVersion;

Default Value

'3.0'

Remarks

The version of QBXML used in the outgoing message. Except as noted in the documentation, a value of "1.1" will suffice for all requests, and for all versions of QuickBooks which support integrated applications.

With each release of QuickBooks since 2002, a corresponding version of the QuickBooks SDK has also been released: 1.0 for QuickBooks 2002, 2.0 for QuickBooks 2003, 3.0 for QuickBooks 2004, etc., up to 8.0 for QuickBooks 2009. In addition, each release of QuickBooks continues to support all earlier versions of the SDK, meaning that requests using version 1.1 of the QuickBooks SDK are supported by all versions of QuickBooks. However, new requests and newer fields in existing requests are only supported in later versions of the QuickBooks SDK. As such, it is recommended that you set the QBXMLVersion property to correspond to the version of QuickBooks you are interacting with. These values are:

QuickBooks 20021.0, 1.1
QuickBooks 20032.0
QuickBooks 20043.0
QuickBooks 20054.0, 4.1
QuickBooks 20065.0
QuickBooks 20076.0
QuickBooks 20087.0
QuickBooks 20098.0
QuickBooks 20109.0
QuickBooks 201110.0
QuickBooks 201211.0
QuickBooks 201312.0
QuickBooks 201413.0
QuickBooks 201514.0
QuickBooks 201615.0

In addition, versions of QuickBooks outside of the U.S. released before Quickbooks 2008 adhere to a different version of the QuickBooks SDK. These versions were updated with less frequency than the U.S. SDK, and may omit features introduced in later releases:

QuickBooks Canadian 2003CA2.0
QuickBooks Canadian 2004 to 2007CA3.0
QuickBooks UK 2003UK2.0
QuickBooks UK 2004 to 2007UK3.0
QuickBooks Australian 2003OZ2.0
QuickBooks Australian 2004 to 2007AU3.0

With the exception of Province in Address (set State) or EligibleForT4A in Vendor (set EligibleFor1099), Canadian-only fields are read-only and may be accessed with Config.

This property is not available at design time.

QueryType Property (ObjSearch Component)

The type of search to perform.

Syntax

property QueryType: TiqbTQueryTypes read get_QueryType write set_QueryType;
TiqbTQueryTypes = ( qtNone, qtVendorSearch, qtEmployeeSearch, qtBillSearch, qtInvoiceSearch, qtCreditMemoSearch, qtVendorCreditSearch, qtSalesReceiptSearch, qtPurchaseOrderSearch, qtCheckSearch, qtCCCreditSearch, qtCCChargeSearch, qtCustomerSearch, qtEstimateSearch, qtSalesOrderSearch, qtTimeTrackingSearch, qtReceivePaymentSearch, qtJournalEntrySearch, qtItemSearch, qtAccountSearch, qtDepositSearch, qtInventoryAdjustmentSearch, qtPriceLevelSearch, qtClass, qtCustomerType, qtJobType, qtPaymentMethod, qtPayrollItemWage, qtSalesTaxCode, qtShipMethod, qtSalesRep, qtVendorType, qtBillToPayQuery, qtItemAssembliesCanBuildQuery, qtListDeletedQuery, qtPreferencesQuery, qtReceivePaymentToDepositQuery, qtSalesTaxPaymentCheckQuery, qtTxnDeletedQuery, qtItemReceiptQuery, qtBillPaymentCheckQuery, qtBillPaymentChargeQuery, qtStatementChargeQuery, qtMileageQuery, qtOtherTransactionSearch, qtOtherListSearch );

qtBillPaymentChargeQuery41
qtOtherTransactionSearch100
qtOtherListSearch101

If QueryType is set to qtOtherTransactionSearch or OtherListSearch, SpecialQueryType should be set as well.

This property is required.

RemainingResults Property (ObjSearch Component)

Indicates the number of results left in an iterative search.

Syntax

property RemainingResults: Integer read get_RemainingResults;

Default Value

0

Remarks

A new feature in QuickBooks 2006 allows you to search iteratively. What this basically means is that you can search a customer or transaction list for all transactions, but receive them in chunks of 50 or 100 at a time, instead of one large response potentially containing thousands of entries. This greatly improves response time and also assures that your application does not appear to hang while QuickBooks is putting together the response.

To accomplish such a search, you must set QBXMLVersion to 5.0 or higher. MaxResults will indicates the size of the chunks returned (if set to 0 an iterative search will not be performed). RemainingResults will indicate the number of results remaining. You must also must open and maintain a persistent connection, as searches cannot be continued across sessions. For example:

component.QueryType = qtCustomerSearch() component.MaxResults = 10 component.QBXMLVersion = "5.0" component.OpenQBConnection() component.Search() ' Process first set of results here While (component.RemainingResults > 0) component.GetNextResults() ' Process results here Wend component.CloseQBConnection()

Note that if you wish searches to operate the same way as they did with previous QBXMLVersions, you may set the IterateResults configuration setting to "False". See Config for more information.

This property is read-only.

Results Property (ObjSearch Component)

Contains a collection of search results.

Syntax

property Results: TiqbObjSearchResultList read get_Results;

Remarks

The results of a search will be contained in this property. The Aggregate field contains the XML aggregate of a single search result, and may be passed to the QBResultAggregate property of the component associated with the QueryType of the result.

This property is read-only.

RetrieveNamesOnly Property (ObjSearch Component)

Return only the names and Ids in the results.

Syntax

property RetrieveNamesOnly: Boolean read get_RetrieveNamesOnly write set_RetrieveNamesOnly;

Default Value

false

Remarks

If RetrieveNamesOnly is True, entity searches (Customer, Employee, etc) will return only the FullName and ListID for each result. The component will silently ignore this property if it is not applicable to the search being performed. This property requires a QBXMLVersion of "4.0" or greater, and is set to False by default.

SearchCriteria Property (ObjSearch Component)

Criteria used to limit a search to specific set of transactions.

Syntax

property SearchCriteria: TiqbSearchCriteria read get_SearchCriteria write set_SearchCriteria;

Remarks

Any number of fields may be combined in a single search. However, some fields are applicable only to specific QueryTypes.

SpecialQueryType Property (ObjSearch Component)

The special query type; for example ItemService.

Syntax

property SpecialQueryType: String read get_SpecialQueryType write set_SpecialQueryType;

Default Value

''

Remarks

This property may be used to query QuickBooks for items supported by the QuickBooks SDK, but not by the component set.

The property should be set to the name of the object being queried for. A list of the objects supported for query operations by the SDK may be found in the SDK documentation.

When performing a special query the QueryType property should be set to qtOtherTransactionSearch or qtOtherListSearch, as appropriate. After searching, the QBObject component may be used to view and/or edit the results.

It is recommended that users using this property first read the SDK documentation.

CloseQBConnection Method (ObjSearch Component)

Closes a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

procedure CloseQBConnection();

Remarks

Invoking CloseQBConnection closes the QuickBooks connection specified in QBConnectionString. After the connection has been closed, the component will revert to its default behavior, and a new connection will be established for each request until QBConnectionString is invoked again.

In case the connection is already closed invoking CloseQBConnection will have no effect. Moreover, if multiple connections are open CloseQBConnection will only close the connection specified in QBConnectionString.

Be sure to always invoke this method after calling OpenQBConnection.

Config Method (ObjSearch Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

function Config(ConfigurationString: String): String;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

GetNextResults Method (ObjSearch Component)

Retrieves the next set of results (only applicable for iterative searches).

Syntax

procedure GetNextResults();

Remarks

A new feature in QuickBooks 2006 allows you to search iteratively. What this basically means is that you can search a customer or transaction list for all transactions, but receive them in chunks of 50 or 100 at a time, instead of one large response potentially containing thousands of entries. This greatly improves response time and also assures that your application does not appear to hang while QuickBooks is putting together the response.

To accomplish such a search, you must set QBXMLVersion to 5.0 or higher. MaxResults will indicates the size of the chunks returned (if set to 0 an iterative search will not be performed). RemainingResults will indicate the number of results remaining. You must also must open and maintain a persistent connection, as searches cannot be continued across sessions. For example:

component.QueryType = qtCustomerSearch component.MaxResults = 10 component.QBXMLVersion = "5.0" component.OpenQBConnection() component.Search() ' Process first set of results here While (component.RemainingResults > 0) component.GetNextResults() ' Process additional results here Wend component.CloseQBConnection()

Note that if you wish searches to operate the same way as they did with previous QBXMLVersions, you may set the IterateResults configuration setting to "False". See Config for more information.

ImportQBXML Method (ObjSearch Component)

Imports a QBXML response aggregate.

Syntax

procedure ImportQBXML(XMLData: String);

Remarks

This method imports a QBXML response aggregate. When called with a QBXML aggregate, such as a response from ObjSearch or QBWCServer the component will parse the response as if it had been received directly from QuickBooks and the applicable properties will be updated.

OpenQBConnection Method (ObjSearch Component)

Opens a persistent connection to QuickBooks.

Syntax

procedure OpenQBConnection();

Remarks

Invoking OpenQBConnection will open a persistent connection to QuickBooks. After invoking OpenQBConnection, all requests such as Get, Add, etc. will use the established connection until CloseQBConnection is invoked.

The effect of OpenQBConnection is to increase performance. If OpenQBConnection is not invoked, a connection to QuickBooks will automatically be created and destroyed each time the component communicates with QuickBooks. Using OpenQBConnection will be faster, particularly in the case of automatic login.

After OpenQBConnection is invoked, QuickBooks will issue a connection ticket, and it will be stored in QBConnectionString. When CloseQBConnection is invoked the ticket will be invalidated, and any further attempts to use it will fail.

Be sure to invoke CloseQBConnection when you have finished communicating with QuickBooks. Leaving an open QuickBooks connection may lock out other integrated applications, affect QuickBooks performance, or cause other problems.

Reset Method (ObjSearch Component)

Resets all properties to their defaults.

Syntax

procedure Reset();

Remarks

This method resets the values of all properties (and all special fields) to their defaults.

After calling this method, the component may be reused as if it were newly created.

Search Method (ObjSearch Component)

Submits a query request to QuickBooks.

Syntax

procedure Search();

Remarks

Submits a query request to QuickBooks, of the type specified in QueryType.

The number of results may be limited by setting the value of MaxResults. The results will also be limited to objects meeting the search criteria specified. If no search filters are specified, all objects of the requested type will be returned.

After the search, ResultCount will contain the number of results, and Aggregate will contain the returned XML aggregates. These may be assigned to the QBResponseAggregate property of the appropriate control to instantiate the objects.

Error Event (ObjSearch Component)

Information about errors during data delivery.

Syntax

type TErrorEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  ErrorCode: Integer;
  const Description: String
) of Object;

property OnError: TErrorEvent read FOnError write FOnError;

Remarks

The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.

ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.

SSLServerAuthentication Event (ObjSearch Component)

Fired after the server presents its certificate to the client.

Syntax

type TSSLServerAuthenticationEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  CertEncoded: String;
  CertEncodedB: TBytes;
  const CertSubject: String;
  const CertIssuer: String;
  const Status: String;
  var Accept: Boolean
) of Object;

property OnSSLServerAuthentication: TSSLServerAuthenticationEvent read FOnSSLServerAuthentication write FOnSSLServerAuthentication;

Remarks

This event is where the client can decide whether to continue with the connection process or not. The Accept parameter is a recommendation on whether to continue or close the connection. This is just a suggestion: application software must use its own logic to determine whether to continue or not.

When Accept is False, Status shows why the verification failed (otherwise, Status contains the string "OK"). If it is decided to continue, you can override and accept the certificate by setting the Accept parameter to True.

SSLStatus Event (ObjSearch Component)

Shows the progress of the secure connection.

Syntax

type TSSLStatusEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const Message: String
) of Object;

property OnSSLStatus: TSSLStatusEvent read FOnSSLStatus write FOnSSLStatus;

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.

Status Event (ObjSearch Component)

Shows the progress of the QuickBooks connection.

Syntax

type TStatusEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  const Message: String
) of Object;

property OnStatus: TStatusEvent read FOnStatus write FOnStatus;

Remarks

The event is fired for informational and logging purposes only. Used to track the progress of the connection.

Warning Event (ObjSearch Component)

Fired when a warning occurs.

Syntax

type TWarningEvent = procedure (
  Sender: TObject;
  Code: Integer;
  const Description: String
) of Object;

property OnWarning: TWarningEvent read FOnWarning write FOnWarning;

Remarks

The Warning event is fired when the component has produced, or will produce, possibly unexpected results.

Warnings may be generated by QuickBooks or the component. Starred warning codes correspond to warnings and warning codes generated by QuickBooks.

510*Object added successfully, but cannot now be read.
520*Insufficient permissions to get all data.
801 Unable to update field (name).
802Unable to parse name.

Unlisted QuickBooks warnings will cause the component to throw an exception instead.

Warning 801 will be thrown if the user attempts to Update properties that cannot be updated. For example, the following code will cause this warning to be fired: Customer1.GetByName("Joe Smith") Customer1.Email = "joe@abc.com" 'ok Customer1.CreditLimit = "200.00" 'Not used in Update operations! Customer1.Update() Only the email address will be updated, and the credit limit will be unchanged. Each property description for entity objects lists whether or not it is used in Update operations.

ObjSearchResult Type

Results of a search made with the OBJSEARCH component.

Remarks

This type contains a single result after issuing a search with the ObjSearch component. The Aggregate field contains the XML result aggregate, which you may then pass to a corresponding component to parse.

Fields

Aggregate
String

XML response aggregate returned from QuickBooks.

This array property contains all of the XML response aggregates returned from QuickBooks after a successful call to Search.

This property may be used to set the Aggregate property of any other component. If this is done the component will be set to the record specified in ResultAggregate.

The Ids are also provided separately in the ResultId property.

ResultId
String

Config Settings (ObjSearch Component)

The component accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

ObjSearch Config Settings

AuthFlags:   Connection Flags (use for QuickBooks Simple Start).

Since 2006, QuickBooks has allowed AuthFlags to be set before connecting to QuickBooks. By default, the component can connect to Pro, Premier, and Enterprise editions of QuickBooks. However, because QuickBooks Simple Start contains only a subset of the functionality that other desktop versions provide, Intuit does not allow COM connection to Simple Start unless these AuthFlags explicitly indicate you wish to support it.

A list of allowable AuthFlags is provided below.

"" or 0Do not send any auth flags
0x01Support QB Simple Start
0x02Support QB Pro
0x04Support QB Premier
0x08Support QB Enterprise
0x80000000Force Auth Dialog

To specify support for multiple editions, OR together the values for each edition.

NOTE: If the version of QuickBooks being used does not support AuthFlags, the contents of this config will be ignored. However, if QuickBooks does support this feature, setting "AuthFlags=1" (Support for Simple Start only) on a machine running QuickBooks 2013 Pro will result in an error message indicating that the Request Processor cannot be found.

CurrencyId:   Filters results by indicated currency.

This is available for entity searches (Account, Customer, etc) when QBXMLVersion is "8.0" or greater.

CurrencyName:   Filters results by indicated currency.

This is available for entity searches (Account, Customer, etc) when QBXMLVersion is "8.0" or greater.

Date:   Searches by exact date.

This field is used as the DueDate for the qtBillToPayQuery Query Type and the TxnDate for the qtItemAssembliesCanBuildQuery Query Type. The standard formatting for dates is YYYY-MM-DD; i.e., September 2, 2002 is formatted as 2002-09-02. When getting the value of a date property, the date will always be in this format.

When setting the value of a date property, the formats MM-DD-YY, MM-DD-YYYY, MM/DD/YY, and MM/DD/YYYY are also acceptable. Dates in these formats will be automatically parsed and stored in YYYY-MM-DD format.

DeletionType:   The type of list or transaction from which a member has been deleted.

For the qtListDeletedQuery QueryType the following values are supported: Account, BillingRate, Class, Currency, Customer, CustomerMsg, CustomerType, DateDrivenTerms, Employee, ItemDiscount, ItemFixedAsset, ItemGroup, ItemInventory, ItemInventoryAssembly, ItemNonInventory, ItemOtherCharge, ItemPayment, ItemSalesTax, ItemSalesTaxGroup, ItemService, ItemSubtotal, JobType, OtherName, PaymentMethod, PayrollItemNonWage, PayrollItemWage, PriceLevel, SalesRep, SalesTaxCode, ShipMethod, StandardTerms, ToDo, UnitOfMeasureSet, Vehicle, Vendor, and VendorType.

For the qtTxnDeletedQuery QueryType the following values are supported: ARRefundCreditCard, Bill, BillPaymentCheck, BillPaymentCreditCard, BuildAssembly, Charge, Check, CreditCardCharge, CreditCardCredit, CreditMemo, Deposit, Estimate, InventoryAdjustment, Invoice, ItemReceipt, JournalEntry, PurchaseOrder, ReceivePayment, SalesOrder, SalesReceipt, SalesTaxPaymentCheck, TimeTracking, VehicleMileage, VendorCredit

EnforceMaxLength:   Indicates whether to enforce max lengths for QB Fields.

If you change this setting to False, the component will no longer check (or error) when the length of a property exceeds the maximum length specified in the QuickBooks SDK.

FindWithChildren:   Include children in the results of an entity Name or Id search.

If set to true, searching by EntityName or EntityId will include all of that item's children in the response.

This is only applicable to searches for transaction objects.

GetHighestVersion:   Highest QBXMLVersion supported by the installed instance of QuickBooks.

If QuickBooks is installed on the system, this setting will retrieve the highest QBXMLVersion that may be used for sending transactions to QuickBooks.

GetRequestProcessorDLLVersion:   Returns the version of the QB Request Processor that is installed on your system.

GetSupportedVersions:   Returns a list of QBXMLVersions that are supported by QuickBooks.

If QuickBooks is installed on the system, this setting will retrieve a list of all supported QBXMLVersions that may be used for sending transactions to QuickBooks. While GetHighestVersion config returns only the highest QBXMLVersion supported, this config returns ALL supported QBXMLVersions. The list is delimited with '\n' (linefeed) characters.

IsReadOnly:   This causes the QuickBooks authorization dialog to display text informing the user that its access will be read-only.

The default value is false.

MetaDataType:   Controls whether a count of results is returned or not.

This configuration setting can be used to instruct QuickBooks (via the metaData request attribute) to return a count of the results being returned. This can be configured so that the count is returned with the results or so that only a count and no data is returned.

A list of available values is provided below.

0No count will be returned. (default)
1Only the count will be returned.
2The count will be returned along with the results.

If this is set to return a count, this will be available via the ResultCount configuration setting.

ModifiedDateRangeFilterName:   The ModifiedDateRangeFilter tag name to be used in the request.

Specifying ModifiedDateStart or ModifiedDateEnd SearchCriteria fields will cause a 'ModifiedDateRangeFilter' tag to be added to the qbXML request. In some transaction queries, however, the QuickBooks SDK specifies a different name for this tag. This configuration setting allows you to specify an alternate tag name to be used.

The default value is ModifiedDateRangeFilter

PersonalDataPref:   Whether the connecting application will require access to personal data such as SSN or credit card information.

This setting allows you to let the user know immediately whether your application requires access to personal data or not.

A list of available values is provided below.

pdpOptionalCauses the QuickBooks authorization dialog to display a checkbox for user selection asking whether the user wants to allow the application to access personal data.
pdpRequiredCauses the QuickBooks authorization dialog to not display the personal information checkbox for user selection, and instead display a warning that the application needs to access personal data.
pdpNotNeededCauses the QuickBooks authorization dialog to not display the personal information checkbox for user selection, and instead display an informational message that the application will NOT access personal data.

The default value is pdpOptional.

QBConnectionMode:   The mode of connection to QuickBooks.

Specifies whether the integrated application logs in using single-user or multi-user mode.

The following values are permitted:

0Don't Care
1Single-User Mode
2Multi-User Mode

About Single-User and Multi-User Modes

If the connection to QuickBooks is made in single-user mode, QuickBooks will give exclusive access to the connecting application. It will lock out all other integrated applications; if QuickBooks and the company file are not already open in single-user mode by the QuickBooks user, the user will be locked out as well.

If the connection is made in multi-user mode, QuickBooks will allow all other integrated applications access. QuickBooks end users on other machines will also be allowed to access the file. However, if the application (rather than the end user) starts QuickBooks automatically, end users on the same machine will still be locked out.

If cmDontCare is specified, an appropriate connection mode will be chosen automatically. If a company file is open in either single-user or multi-user mode, the integrated application will accept that connection mode. If no company file is open, QuickBooks will login automatically in multi-user mode.

About Integrated and Automatic Login

Note that your application's login to QuickBooks might be either automatic or interactive. Interactive login is used when QuickBooks is already open. Access will be shared between the integrated application and the QuickBooks end user, and if multi-user mode is specified, other applications and users will have access as well. When a connection is made, QuickBooks will show a dialog window to the user, and ask the user if he/she wants to permit the connection.

Automatic login is used when QuickBooks is not already open. QuickBooks will be opened in the background, and will run until your application has finished its connection with QuickBooks. The QuickBooks user interface will not be displayed, and end-users on the same machine will be locked out. End-users on other machines, however, will be allowed access if multi-user mode is specified.

By default integrated applications do not have permission to login automatically. The first time an application interacts with QuickBooks, it must do so interactively, with QuickBooks and the company file open. The QuickBooks end user may then grant automatic login permission through Edit Preferences - Integrated Applications in the QuickBooks user interface. Click on the name of the application and then "Properties", and you may allow the application to login automatically.

For automatic login the CompanyFile must be specified. CompanyFile, ApplicationName, and other properties relating to the QuickBooks connection may be edited through QBConnectionString.

QBFileStatus:   The status of the company file as it pertains to accepting connections.

This setting may be queried before attempting to connect to QuickBooks to determine the current company file status. When queried the component will attempt to determine whether a subsequent connection using the provided QBConnectionString value would succeed. Possible return values are:

0 The company file will accept the connection. This indicates that no company file is open, or the desired company file is already open.
1 The company file will not accept the connection. This indicates a different company file is already open.

QBOpenCompanyFile:   The file currently open in QuickBooks.

The name of the file currently open in QuickBooks, specified completely with the path. This field is read-only.

A query is submitted to QuickBooks when the value of this property is read. The empty string will be returned if no file is open, if QuickBooks is open in an access mode incompatible with QBConnectionMode, or if an error occurs.

If the value of this property is nonempty, the component may interact exclusively with the open file.

ResultCount:   A count of results returned via QuickBooks' metaData attribute.

Contains the count returned from QuickBooks when MetaDataType is configured to return this information.

SSLAcceptServerCert:   The SSL certificate being used by the QuickBooks Gateway (aka Remote Connector).

The Base-64 encoded certificate being used by the Remote Connector (you may get this certificate from the Remote Connector by going to the Security tab, and clicking Export.)

This is only necessary if using a self-signed certificate, or any other certificate that has not been signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) trusted by the system.

SSLAcceptServerCertFile:   The SSL certificate file being used by the QuickBooks Gateway (aka Remote Connector).

If your public key certificate is stored in a file, you may set this configuration setting to the full path of the certificate, and it will be immediately read from disk and stored in SSLAcceptServerCert. Equivalent to setting SSLAcceptServerCert to file contents.

Reading the value of this setting will return an empty string.

StopOnError:   Specifies how QuickBooks is to proceed if an error occurs in processing of the current request.

If StopOnError is True (default), QuickBooks will stop processing when an error occurs. Requests that have already been processed will not be rolled back. An error is returned for the operation that caused the error condition. If StopOnError is False, QuickBooks will continue processing the remaining requests if an error occurs.

TotalBalance:   The balance which returned records should have.

Limits the search to records with balances equal to TotalBalance. If TotalBalance is specified, TotalBalanceMaximum and TotalBalanceMinumum may not be (this limitation is imposed by the QBXML interface).

The amount should be formatted as a string in dollars.

Only applicable to searches for entity objects.

TxnDateRangeFilterName:   The TxnDateRangeFilter tag name to be used in the request.

Specifying TransactionDateStart or TransactionDateEnd SearchCriteria fields will cause a 'TxnDateRangeFilter' tag to be added to the qbXML request. In some transaction queries, however, the QuickBooks SDK specifies a different name for this tag. This configuration setting allows you to specify an alternate tag name to be used.

The default value is TxnDateRangeFilter

UnattendedModePref:   Whether connecting while QuickBooks is closed is required or optional for the user.

This setting allows you to let the user know immediately whether your application requires the ability to access QuickBooks while QuickBooks is closed.

A list of available values is provided below.

umpOptionalCauses the QuickBooks authorization dialog to display its default selections and let the user pick. Use this setting if you do not need unattended mode.
umpRequiredCauses the QuickBooks authorization dialog to display only the selection choices of "No" (no authorization) or "Yes, allow access even if QuickBooks is not running" (authorize unattended mode).

The default value is umpOptional.

WarningCodes:   A comma-separated list of QuickBooks warning codes that should not result in an exception.

By default, the component will throw an exception when a status code with severity "Warn" is returned in a QuickBooks response. Set this field to a comma-separated list of status codes that should not throw an exception if returned. Note that the QuickBooks response code is not necessarily the same as the exception code from the resulting exception.

Base Config Settings

BuildInfo:   Information about the product's build.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build.

CodePage:   The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.

The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).

LicenseInfo:   Information about the current license.

When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a component is using. It will return the following information:

  • Product: The product the license is for.
  • Product Key: The key the license was generated from.
  • License Source: Where the license was found (e.g., RuntimeLicense, License File).
  • License Type: The type of license installed (e.g., Royalty Free, Single Server).
  • Last Valid Build: The last valid build number for which the license will work.
MaskSensitive:   Whether sensitive data is masked in log messages.

In certain circumstances it may be beneficial to mask sensitive data, like passwords, in log messages. Set this to True to mask sensitive data. The default is True.

This setting only works on these components: AS3Receiver, AS3Sender, Atom, Client(3DS), FTP, FTPServer, IMAP, OFTPClient, SSHClient, SCP, Server(3DS), Sexec, SFTP, SFTPServer, SSHServer, TCPClient, TCPServer.

UseInternalSecurityAPI:   Tells the component whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation.

When set to False, the component will use the system security libraries by default to perform cryptographic functions where applicable.

Setting this setting to True tells the component to use the internal implementation instead of using the system security libraries.

This setting is set to False by default on all platforms.
