Open Ax client from external application

Question

Is it possible to open an AX client from an external application, for instance a c# console application.

I've tried to open the AX client by using the -StartupCmd=AutoRun_MyConfig.xml command.

The Xml-file uses the Run command to open a class I've created but I cannot get it to work for a regular user, only for system administrators. Is this a limitation in AX?

Run type=\"class\" name=\"{0}\" method=\"{1}\" parameters=\"{2}\" />

Do you have any other idea on how I can proceed or an alternative solution?

br, Johan

Just start the ax32.exe with the proper parameters.

See also this question.

Also see this answer on how to tickle the drill-down code to start an arbitrary menu item.

I've tried to start AX with the parameter by passing the startupCmd parameter but AX doesn't execute the class I've created unless the user is a system admin... – Johan Sep 16 '14 at 11:29
`startupCmd` is not ment to be used by mortals, only admins. – Jan B. Kjeldsen Sep 16 '14 at 11:33
haha I was afraid that was the case :\ what other possible solution do I have left? – Johan Sep 16 '14 at 12:25
See part 3 of my answer. This requires a code modification and AX client installation on each computer using it. – Jan B. Kjeldsen Sep 16 '14 at 13:12
I see, I'll look into the drilldown-solution. Thank you – Johan Sep 17 '14 at 06:55
