Example

Executing the example requires a form with the Button1 button and a repository object with the Obj_1 identifier.

    Sub Button1OnClick(Sender: Object; Args: IMouseEventArgs);
    Var
        v: variant;
        mb: IMetabase;
        Folder: IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;
        Root: IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;
        Target: IUiCommandTarget;
        Context: IUiCommandExecutionContext;
        Data: Array Of Variant;
    Begin
        MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
        Folder := MB.ItemById("Obj_1");
        Root := MB.ItemById("Obj_1");
        Target := WinApplication.Instance.GetPluginTarget("Fld");
        Context := Target.CreateExecutionContext;
        Data := New Variant[2];
        Data[0] := Folder;
        Data[1] := Root;
        Context.Data := Data;
        v := Target.Execute("ShowCreateShortcut", Context);
        If Not v.IsNull Then
            text := (v As IMetabaseObjectDescriptor).Name;
        End If;
    End Sub Button1OnClick;

Clicking the button opens a dialog box for creating a shortcut of the Obj_1 repository object.
