Linked Button - lf_profitCenter, Not Working correctly

Question

Hello Experts
Can anyone explain why the following code, doesn't work?
SAPbouiCOM.Item itemLbtnCC;
SAPbouiCOM.LinkedButton LbtnCC;
itemLbtnCC = this.Form.Items.Add("lnCC", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_LINKED_BUTTON);
LbtnCC = (SAPbouiCOM.LinkedButton)(itemLbtnCC.Specific);
itemLbtnCC.Top = this.Form.Items.Item("5").Top;
itemLbtnCC.Left = this.Form.Items.Item("5").Left - 16;
itemLbtnCC.LinkTo = this.Form.Items.Item("5").UniqueID;
LbtnCC.LinkedObjectType = "61";
And when the form is loaded returns the following exception:
Invalid target  [66000-24]
The problem (the code stops) ,occurs on the linked object 61, however in SDK Help Center , linked object 61 is mapped to lf_ProfitCenter which is the desired object of the custom linked button (Profit Center object).
Can you please give me an explanation? Is there any work around?
Kind Regards,
George

I found this note:
1426939 - Can not link to ProfitCenter via LinkedButton
that offers a workaround for this issue:
Get error 'Invalid target [66000-24]' when using LinkedButton Object
to link the ProfitCenter as following code:
Private oLink As SAPbouiCOM.LinkedButton
Set oNewItem = oOrderForm.Items.Add("oTest", it_LINKED_BUTTON)
Set oLink = oNewItem.Specific
oLink.LinkedObject = lf_ProfitCenter
The workaround would be as follows:
- Read the profit centre you want to open into a string variable
- You can trigger opening the profit centre window by calling the method: oApplicaition.ActivateMenuItem (1793) 'menu id for ProfitCenter in Financials -> Cost Accounting -> Profit Centres
- Change form to Find mode, Put value from string variable into Profit Centre field and simulate click on Find button
This issue is an candidate to be fixed in a future version of SAP
Business One.
