Choose from List-CFL button is not visible

Hi Experts,
I am using SAP B1 8.8 PL 05 in ramp up. I have observed that in some of the clients PCs in Sales Order window I am not able to see the Choose from list button / CFL button for selecting Customer Or say Item.
This happens only in some Client PCs, where as in other clients PCs it works fine.

Hi Rashid,
I did that. Now the indicator is displayed, but still I am not able to see the customer / item list.

Class inhertis from JButton, but button is not visible

Hi!
I'm having a class that inherits JButton. The idea was to give the button additional parameters, so it inherits from JButton to have all the attributes from JButton... But the problem is, that the Buttons are only visible when I touch them with the mouse. When I move the window they are invisible again...
Does anybody know why? Thanks for your help!
P.S Sorry for my bad english....

Choose from List for UDT

I have made a UDT
and I want to create a choose From List of that table
I know how to create choose frm list for system tables
like making Business partner choose from list
but I'm not able to make choose frm list for UDT
please someone answer my question

HI Riya,
You can link a CFL to a User Defined Object but not a plain User Defined Table. A full list of options can be found in the UI help under BoLinkedObject Enumeration.

UDO-Choose From List

Hi;
I would appreciate if someone could tell me how to associate an UDO to a choose from list.
I have looked over the SDK example, but this is for standar SAP objects and I need to associate the choose from list to a customer object.
Best regards

The choose from list (CFL) can be triggered from your edittext - there is some sample code in the DI API help file that shows this. Have a look for 'Adding a choose from list object' in the help file. Remember that where they set ObjectType="2", you should use the name of your UDO.
As can also be seen in the help file, CFL objects allow you to add conditions to determine what rows are displayed. In the example it shows selecting only where CardType = 'C'. The columns displayed can be tailored by the user at runtime, where they can select from any columns that are on your main UDO table.
There are a few limitations. At present CFL's do not allow you to directly specify a SQL query. Only data from the single table related to the 'ObjectType' is displayed. If you want a more complex query that displays data from multiple tables when you press tab, a formatted search may be more powerful. If you search the forums you should find one of my previous posts (probably about a year ago) where I showed how to link a formatted search to the tab keypress and have it behave in a very similar manner to a CFL.

Delete/Edit/Update CFL Conditions - Choose From List

Hi All,
I have a Choose From List of which the conditions are set depending on a ComboBox.Selected.Value
oCon.CondVal = comboboxBranch.Selected.Value
So the Conditions are set when the "OnAfterComboSelect" event is trigered.
How do I reset the Condition when the user "RESELECTS" another ValidValue on that ComboBox???
At the moment, on the Reselection on the Combobox, the CFL is returning EMPTY.....
Thanks

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the speedy reply. Its workin.
Here's my code for the adding/editing of the Conditions from within the an Event Handler if any1 needs it.
In the OnAfterFormLoad Event Handler:
Dim oCFLs As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCollection
Dim oCFL As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList
Dim oCons As SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
Dim oCon As SAPbouiCOM.Condition
Dim oCFLCreationParams As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCreationParams
' Adding CFL3 for Line GL Account Name.
oCFLCreationParams.MultiSelection = False
oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = "1"
oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL3"
oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
In the 1st TabOrder Item's OnGotFocus Event Handler:
oColumn = oColumns.Item("AcctCode")
oColumn.ChooseFromListUID = "CFL3"
oColumn.ChooseFromListAlias = "FormatCode"
In the OnAfterComboSelect Event Handler:
oCFLs = form.ChooseFromLists
oCFL = oCFLs.Item("CFL3")
oCons = oCFL.GetConditions()
If oCons.Count = 0 Then
                oCon = oCons.Add()
                oCon.BracketOpenNum = 2
                oCon.Alias = "GroupMask"
                oCon.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
                oCon.CondVal = "7"
                oCon.BracketCloseNum = 1
                oCon.Relationship = BoConditionRelationship.cr_AND
                oCon = oCons.Add()
                oCon.BracketOpenNum = 1
                oCon.Alias = "Postable"
                oCon.Operation = BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
                oCon.CondVal = "Y"
                oCon.BracketCloseNum = 1
                oCon.Relationship = BoConditionRelationship.cr_AND
                oCon = oCons.Add()
                oCon.BracketOpenNum = 1
                oCon.Alias = "Segment_1"
                oCon.Operation = BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
                oCon.CondVal = comboboxBranch.Selected.Value
                oCon.BracketCloseNum = 2
                oCFL.SetConditions(oCons)
Else
                oCon = oCons.Item(2)
                oCon.CondVal = comboboxBranch.Selected.Value
                oCFL.SetConditions(oCons)
End If

Choose from list in find mode

I have a form build in Screen painter and i have added a Choose from list to that form. I have asocieted the CFL with a EdiText. It work perfectly in add mode, but i cannot open the CFL when the form is in find mode.(I cannot even see the button to press for oppening the CFL). Can someone help me?

I am in the phase of binding the edittext, comoboxes and other controls on my form. I want to search by parameters. For instance i want to find all the entrys from a business partener.
I would like to know if I can choose from a list of business partener when i am in a find mode using CFL .
My problem it is not when i click find button but when i complete the fields, how can i select a business partener from a list?

Problem in Choose from list.

Hi,
As I tried CFL for a user defined form, when I select an item from CFL and it is displaying in the relevant field. And when I save the data it is perfectly saving with the message of "Operation has been completed successfully". But the data is not saving in the field in which is the CFL is activating.
It would be appreciated, if any one can give the solution please.
The steps I' ve followed as,
1. In the screen painter I' ve added the choose from list thru' the collection folder.
2. Then the choose from list id is attached and give the allias in the item's specific property.
3. Then I' ve written code in the load form function as follows.
            Oform.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("EditDS", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT)
            txtaccode.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "EditDS")
4. In the item event
        If pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_CHOOSE_FROM_LIST Then
            Dim oCFLEvento As SAPbouiCOM.IChooseFromListEvent
            oCFLEvento = pVal
            Dim sCFL_ID As String
            sCFL_ID = oCFLEvento.ChooseFromListUID
            Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
            oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item(FormUID)
            Dim oCFL As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList
            oCFL = oForm.ChooseFromLists.Item(sCFL_ID)
            If oCFLEvento.BeforeAction = False Then
                Dim oDataTable As SAPbouiCOM.DataTable
                oDataTable = oCFLEvento.SelectedObjects
                Dim val As String
                Dim val1 As String
                Dim val2 As String
                Dim val3 As String
                Try
                    Try
                        val = oDataTable.GetValue(0, 0)
                        val1 = oDataTable.GetValue(1, 0)
                        If (pVal.ItemUID = "txtaccode") Then
                            oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("EditDS").ValueEx = val
                            txtaccode.Value = val
                            oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("EditDS1").ValueEx = val1
                        End If
                    Catch ex As Exception
                        Exit Sub 'For Exception raised for Cancel Button

                End Try
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

Associating a Custome ResultSet with a Choose From List

Hi Experts,
I have to Link the Chose from List with a UDO for accessing the records from the Parent Table /Child Table
How to crack this problem?
Also I have to associate the Results of a custom query in a choose from list so that when I press TAB over a Text Box I get a Choose From List which displays the Results and I could select one of those rows.
Plz Hint me for this Problem

Hello,
When you create CFL, just set your UDO type with oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = "My_UDO", the collumn to be displayed in CFL has been determined by Find Service in your UDO definition.
As per custom query, actually you can set the condition to do so. Direct customed SQL is not supported in CFL. You may refer to the SDK sample for further info after you install SDK component:
<<C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One SDK\Samples\COM UI\VB.NET\17.ChooseFromList>>
Private Sub AddChooseFromList()
        Try
            Dim oCFLs As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCollection
            Dim oCons As SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
            Dim oCon As SAPbouiCOM.Condition
            oCFLs = oForm.ChooseFromLists
            Dim oCFL As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList
            Dim oCFLCreationParams As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCreationParams
            oCFLCreationParams = SBO_Application.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_ChooseFromListCreationParams)
            ' Adding 2 CFL, one for the button and one for the edit text.
            oCFLCreationParams.MultiSelection = False
            'Just Set your UDO type.
            oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = "My_UDO"
            oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL1"
            oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
            ' Adding Conditions to CFL1
            oCons = oCFL.GetConditions()
            oCon = oCons.Add()
            oCon.Alias = "CardType"
            oCon.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
            oCon.CondVal = "C"
            oCFL.SetConditions(oCons)
        Catch
            MsgBox(Err.Description)
        End Try
    End Sub

How to filter Choose from list object rows?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to show Choose from list window using SBO 2005 PL07, Actually I want to show the Active Account of G/L Account, I set the CFL object to one column as following:
oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = SAPbouiCOM.BoLinkedObject.lf_GLAccounts
oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL"
oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
Who knows how to set Choose From list object only show Active Account and do not show Title Account.
Thanks for your help!
Kathy

Hi kathy
I have not tried it on the gl accounts. But basicaly you need to add conditions to filter it. The following is an example that you would of used for business partners but only customers.
Dim oCFLs As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCollection
            Dim oCons As SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
            Dim oCon As SAPbouiCOM.Condition
            oCFLs = oForm.ChooseFromLists
            Dim oCFL As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList
            Dim oCFLCreationParams As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCreationParams
            oCFLCreationParams = SBO_Application.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_ChooseFromListCreationParams)
            ' Adding 2 CFL, one for the button and one for the edit text.
            oCFLCreationParams.MultiSelection = False
            oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = "2"
            oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL1"
            oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
            ' Adding Conditions to CFL1
            oCons = oCFL.GetConditions()
            oCon = oCons.Add()
            oCon.Alias = "CardType"
            oCon.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
            oCon.CondVal = "C"
            oCFL.SetConditions(oCons)
            oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL2"
            oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
The above also compensates for the tab.
Hope it helps

Is it possible to populate a Choose From List manually?

Hi
I've got a requirement in a SDK screen that needs to be written to have a Choose From List contained on a Matrix column that should allow the selection of Item Masters as well as the selection of specific data contained within a User Defined Table. Whenever using ChooseFromLists I've always only ever used them to link to a object such as Items, Sales Order etc. and not a combination, or even to a User Defined Table. Is this even possible.
If not I guess the only way around it would be to create a form mimicking the ChooseFromList which I could populate with what ever I like?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steven,
Yes, Its possible which behaves as system CFL.
Design the form like cfl having grid, choose button, cancel button and edittext of find. When you tab on edittext on form open the CFL form and after load form fill the grid by Datatable using sql query. Write code for select grid line on click of grid. Write the code on choose button which retrive value from grid.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Removing Duplicates from a choose from list

Hi All,
I have a choose from list of obj 73 )Catalog Numbers (Table OSCN)
I also added conditions in the CFL that it only shows the Substitute for the CardType = 'S' (Supllier) Business Partners.
But I want to remove all the duplicate Substitutes from the CFL so that only distinct Catalog Numbers shows in the CFL.
        // Adding 2 CFL, one for the button and one for the edit text.
                oCFLCreationParams.MultiSelection = false;
                oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = "73";
                oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL1";
                oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams);
                //Adding Conditions to CFL1
                oCons = oCFL.GetConditions();
                oCon = oCons.Add();
                oCon.Alias = "Substitute";
                SAPbobsCOM.Recordset oSuppliers = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
                oSuppliers.DoQuery("Select Distinct t1.Substitute From OSCN t1 Join OCRD t2 on t1.CardCode = t2.CardCode Where t2.CardType = 'S' Group By t1.Substitute");
                oCon.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL;
                while (!oSuppliers.EoF)
                    oCon.CondVal = oSuppliers.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString();
                    oCon.Relationship = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionRelationship.cr_OR;
                    oCon = oCons.Add();

                    oSuppliers.MoveNext();
                oCFL.SetConditions(oCons);
Please advise....
Kind Regards,
Brenden Draper

Hi Brenden,
what you are trying to archieve won't work. Simply because CFL is getting all row data from OSCN and ItemCode or CardCode can differ for a specific substitute.
For example.
ItemCode,CardCode,Substitute
ItemA,BP1,sub1
ItemA,BP2,sub1
Would be 2 resultlines both with sub1 as substitute.
SQL equivalent :
Select Distinct t0.* from oscn t0 inner join OCRD t1 on t0.CardCode = t1.CardCode where t1.CardType = 'S'
My advise would be to open a simple form with a grid and datatable bound.
Some lines of coding and you get all you need.

Edit and text and choose from list

hello,
I am trying to create a form that resemle to the purchase order form.
In the purchase order form when we select the card code from the choose from list
the system fill all the fileds like the name docnum .. with relevant information.

switch (pVal.ItemUID)

Hey Achref,
You can use the event and code like this:
string vendCode = string.Empty;
SAPbouiCOM.IChooseFromListEvent oCFLEvento = (SAPbouiCOM.IChooseFromListEvent) pVal;
string sCFL_ID = oCFLEvento.ChooseFromListUID;
SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList oCFL = oVendorSourcingForm.ChooseFromLists.Item(sCFL_ID);
SAPbouiCOM.DataTable oDataTable = oCFLEvento.SelectedObjects;
if (oDataTable != null)
     //get selected value from datatable
     if (oDataTable.Rows.Count > 0)vendCode = oDataTable.GetValue(0, 0).ToString();
Also check out 17.ChooseFromList in the samples that you can download.
Hope that helps

Choose From List and Golden arrow link in System Matrix UDF column

I'm wondering if there is a way through the SDK to create a 'Choose From List' and Golden arrow linked button in a System Matrix UDF column?
For example the Item Code in a sales order matrix does both.

Hi,
Try this code for adding CFL.
               SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCollection oCFLs = null;
                SAPbouiCOM.Conditions oCons = null;
                SAPbouiCOM.Condition oCon = null;
                oCFLs = oForm.ChooseFromLists;
                SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList oCFL = null;
                SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCreationParams oCFLCreationParams = null;
                oCFLCreationParams = ( ( SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCreationParams )( SBO_Application.CreateObject( SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_ChooseFromListCreationParams ) ) );
                oCFLCreationParams.MultiSelection = false;
                oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = "object id ";
                oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL1";
                oCFL = oCFLs.Add( oCFLCreationParams );
               oColumn.ChooseFromListUID = "CFL1";
              //where oColumn is the instance of that column.
Hope u will get help....
Thanks and Regards,
