Change in an LOV query of Sales Order Form not working

Question

Hi,
I wish to change the the Order Type (in the Sales Header) displayed in the Sales Order Form when viewed from a particular Responsibility.(11i Instance)
To be specific only certain order types should be displayed in the LOV when the User tries to create Order from that Responsibility.
In that process I created an FP with Action --> Builtin -->Create Record Group From Query
Then in Property-->Object Type-->LOV and Target Object -->ORDER_TYPE Value-->Name of my Query Group
I downloaded the Sales Order Form and modified the Query of the Group keeping the columns selected and the view used same and added in the Group I created.
But it didn't work out.
I tried out by changing my Target Object to SRV_ORDER_TYPE and its corresponding query from the Oracle Form.
But still it didn't work.
Please tell me where I'm going wrong.
Am I not choosing the correct target record group LOV?

Answer 1

Hi Robert,
I have successfully accessed a matrix using Visual Basic .Net. It has been quite a challenge while I was at it.
One important thing to understand is that (unless you access the datasource) in order to access a particular control in a matrix object, this control needs to be visible and enabled. It is like simulating a user accessing the matrix via GUI... if a control is not enabled, you cannot access it (as said via control). That might explain question 1.
Short sample on matrix handling is here:

<b>Q2 - Cell count:</b>
I have personally never used the Cells count method. It should always return the number of rows. My only guess here is that you are using an old reference on the matrix object in which the rows are not there yet.
Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
Dim oColumn As SAPbouiCOM.Column
Dim oEditText as SAPbouiCOM.EditText
  oMatrix=YourSboForm.Items.Item(38).Specific
  oColumn=oMatrix.columns.item(strColumnname).specific
  oEditText=oColumn.items.Item(1).specific
  Msgbox(oEditText.String)
The above code should get you the first cell of the first row of the given matrix.
