Integrating True DBGrid 6.0 with Forte using OLEAutomation

Question

I'm attempting to manipulate an Appex TrueDBGrid object using Forte TOOL
code. So far I've made it through the following steps:
Used olegen to create a PEX file for the TrueDBGrid60 ocx file (tdbg6.ocx).
Imported this pex file into my workspace.
Created a display project with TrueDBGrid60, Framework, DisplayProject and
OLE as supplier plans
Added a window class
On Window, added an OLE Field with mapped type ITrueDBGridCtrl.
I attempted to interpret the following VB code for adding a column:
' Create a new Column 0
Dim C As TrueDBGrid60.Column
Set C = TDBGrid1.Columns.Add(0)
' Initialize the new Column 0
With C
.Visible = True ' Make it visible
.DataField = "LAST" ' Set the column's database field
.Caption = "Last Name" ' Set the column's caption
End With
' Make Column 0 as wide as Column 1
C.Width = TDBGrid1.Columns(1).Width
I can get this code to work in VBA, but I have difficulty when converting in
to Forte Tool code.
I added the following code to the Window class init method:
super.Init();
dbgrid = new();
dbgrid.objectReference; -- not sure what to set this to?
col : TrueDBGrid60.Column;
cols : TrueDBGrid60.Columns = new();
cols.add(0); -- this line causes run time error because object reference is
not set.
//dbgrid.columns = cols;
//dbgrid.classicAdd(cols); these lines don't work
col.visible = true;
col.caption = 'Column 1';
col.width = 1.5;
This is as far as I've gone.
Has any one used the Appex TrueDBGrid within a Forte Window?
If yes, Is there any documentation on this subject that clarify the
necessary processes?
Thanks
Brian

Hi Mastek,
You should be able to accomodate your needs with respect to integration of your AD accounts with SAP ECC ABAP. This can be done via LDAP connector configuration. The below has info on how to perfrom the configuration at a high level. You will have to integrate, and map certain user data. You may also want to do some LDAP Connector research:

On the Java stack - you can also confugure UME to integrate/authenticate with AD:
