Creation of Buttons in Agentry

Hi,
I need to create few buttons in form of two rows. In the first row there will be 3 buttons which define activity type - Work, Lunch, Drive. In the second row there will be 3 buttons - Start, Pause and Hold.
For Eg, if the user clicks on Work button in first row and then on start button in second row then the timer should start. If user now clicks on Hold the this timer should be paused and if he clicks on Stop button then the timer should be stopped. Finally I need to calculate the total time duration taken for this particular activity and send it to the backend. I need to perform these actions in Agentry. Similarly the user may click on other two buttons like Lunch and Drive and click on any of the three buttons in second row.
Please let me know what type of buttons to be used while creation and how to configure the properties for these buttons so that I can have the timer being worked according to the actions of the user.
I would be using Agentry for designing these buttons and Java for sending the data to backend.
Thanks

Madhuri,
You can of course use screen buttons to control your actions. These would display on the side or bottom of the screen. Otherwise, you can use button fields on a detail screen which you can then position anywhere you desire.
Adding a button field is simply a matter of adding a field to the screen and setting the Edit Type to button. After changing the edit type and clicking save you will see a Button tab on the properties pane (see image below).
You can change the button appearance based on your need. Based on your description you will probably want Push Buttons where you then assign actions to run when the button is pressed.
You can define properties on your main object to hold the type of button pressed and also the start time. For each of the buttons define a transaction to edit the property on the main object setting the type based on which of the three were pressed.
When the start is pressed, use an edit transaction to set the start time to the current time.
Then when either the hold or stop button is pressed you can define your transaction to genearte the time entry and use before/after data entry rules on the transaction properties to calculate the elapsed time or simply store the start / stop times along with the type and perform the calculation as part of your update step to the backend.
Hopefully this will help you get started.

Dynamic Creation of Buttons and Actions HELP

Hi there,
I have got a problem (or maybe even two) with the dynamic Creation of buttons. The code below creates the buttons.
My main problem is, that the parameter created for the button's action isn't propagated to the assigned event handler. I get a null, though the name of the parameter in the event handler and the name of the parameter added to the action are the same.
Could it also be that I'm always using the same action? I.e. does wdThis.wdGetAddElementAction() always return the same action instance? If yes, how can I create individual actions for each button?
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,
Heiko
"    for(int i=rootContainer.getChildren().length; i<wdContext.nodeFeature().size();i++)

               IWDTray featureTray = (IWDTray) view.createElement(IWDTray.class, featureElement.getName());
               IWDCaption header = (IWDCaption) view.createElement(IWDCaption.class, featureElement.getName()+"_Header");

               featureTray.addChild(button);

Hi Heiko,
You have done everything correctly....except for 1 line
in the code...
Replace the following line in your code:
actionAddElement.getActionParameters().addParameter("featureIndex", new Integer(i).toString());
Replace the above line with this code:
button.mappingOfOnAction().addParameter("featureIndex",i);
Actually in your code, you are not associating the parameter with the button...
Note that addParameter(...) comes with two signatures: addParameter(String param, String value) and addParameter(String param, int value). You can use any of them based on yuor need.
Hope it helps,
Thanks and Regards,

Navigation via button in agentry editor details screen -SAP Round Manager

Guys,
I am looking to open a details screen from a details screen via a button or an image on click .Please suggest the right way to do that .Please follow the attached figure for your reference .
Tags edited by: Michael Appleby

My requirement is - I have a field with extra information(Called LongText) about a measuring point and while user is reading a point there should be an option for them to read the extra information(not compulsory) like the below information icon.
Now on click on this icon one screen should open where the LongText field will be mapped ,So user can read the extra information and act accordingly .So for this I have added one button on 'Reading Point ' screen to fire one action to open another screen for LongText but it's not working .
Hope make sense to you !!

Dynamic creation of Buttons, mouseClick

Hi,
I'm creating the buttons in dynamic way.
for (int i = 0; i <parameters.length; i++ ) {
InputDataSource_Array=parameters.get_InputDataSource().split("\\.");
caption=InputDataSource_Array[(InputDataSource_Array.length-1)]+":"+parameters[i].get_Algorithm().UID();
ToggleButtons[i] = new javax.swing.JToggleButton();
ToggleButtons[i].setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/images/parameter-red.gif")));
ToggleButtons[i].setText(caption);
ToggleButtons[i].setHorizontalAlignment(javax.swing.SwingConstants.LEFT);
ToggleButtons[i].addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
togglePanel(i);
gridBagConstraints = new java.awt.GridBagConstraints();
gridBagConstraints.gridx = 0;
gridBagConstraints.gridy = (i+1)*2-1;
//System.out.println(gridBagConstraints.gridy);
gridBagConstraints.fill = java.awt.GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
gridBagConstraints.weightx = 100.0;
add(ToggleButtons[i], gridBagConstraints);
and I want to invoke togglePanel(i) on mouseClick.
But compilator says that "local variable i is accessed from within inner class".
How can I do it properly?
Thank you!

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
You should be using a generic listener as mentioned above, but I would just use the ActionCommand to differentiate each button. Maybe this simple example, from the Swing forum. will get your started:

How do you open a modal window from an Edge Animate button?

I am trying to create an animated group of buttons that open a Bootstrap 3 modal window when clicked. The animation (OAM file) is placed on the Bootstrap page.
This code is added to Animate "CREATION COMPLETE" for button creation and button click:
// Button 1
var btn1 = sym.createChildSymbol("HomeButton", "menu");
   // Convert/store a reference to the symbol as a string representing the element name of the symbol instance.
var btn1_e = btn1.getSymbolElementNode();
   // Now can use that element string and convert it to a DOM element to use with jQuery to call its css properties
   // and adjust whatever you'd like, including its position property
   sym.$(btn1_e).css({"position":"relative", "margin":"10"});
btn1.getVariable("setLabel")("Print Work");
btn1.getVariable("setDescription")("Examples of Telex advertisement");
btn1.$("MyImageBox").css("background" , "url(images/telexads_full269x151.jpg) no-repeat");
btn1.getSymbolElement().click(function() {
          console.log("button 1 was clicked");
document.getElementById("myModal");
$('#myModal').modal('show');
The div for the modal is on the main HTML page. I want to have the modal open a larger image of the button. Basically a lightbox for the Edge Animate stage, but it has to access the div on the parent HTML document (not the EdgeAnimate.html).
Here is the error from the Chrome Javascript console:
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'modal' portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
(anonymous function)portfolioButtonStage_edgeActions.js:4
f.event.dispatchjquery-1.7.1.min.js:3
h.handle.i
I've tried Edge Commons Spotlight, but that doesn't open on the page correctly; it puts the image at the bottom of the main page.
Any ideas? Thanks

Please help me...Why the buttons size change?

Hi!!!
I have a doubt with respect the buttons size, because with the following code i show 2 buttons that comprise the whole panel in a row:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class x1 extends JApplet {
public void init() {
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JPanel jp= new JPanel();
jp.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
jp.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2,5,5));
JButton b1= new JButton("Button 1");
jp.add(b1);
JButton b2= new JButton("Button 2");
jp.add(b2);
contentPane.add(jp,BorderLayout.NORTH);
But when i do other separated class with the buttons creation, my buttons appear in the center without comprising the whole panel in a rengl�n.....why happen it?.....i would like to obtain the same effect like the first code....how can i reach that?.....
This is the applet code when i do the separated class with the buttons creation applet:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.tree.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class x2 extends JApplet {
public void init() {
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
contentPane.add(new jbuttons(),BorderLayout.NORTH);
class jbuttons extends JPanel {
public jbuttons() {
JPanel jp= new JPanel();
jp.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
jp.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2,5,5));
JButton b1= new JButton("Button 1");
jp.add(b1);
JButton b2= new JButton("Button 2");
jp.add(b2);
add(jp);
Could somebody help me please?.....Thanks in advance....
Mary

Mary,
Your second class (jbuttons) actually contains TWO panels: "this" as well as the jp panel. The jp panel is in this case unnecessary.
Although the sizing of the jp panel is set correctly, the "this" panel is still set to "flow" layout and will not give you the desired result.
Try rewriting your second class this way:
class jbuttons extends JPanel {
public jbuttons() {
this.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
this.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2,5,5));
JButton b1= new JButton("Button 1");
this.add(b1);
JButton b2= new JButton("Button 2");
this.add(b2);
Hope this helps!

Appraisal template standard buttons not working via ESS/MSS

Hi experts,
The error which I am facing in appraisal template is as follows
When I click on any button on appraisal template no action takes place.
Kindly let me know how can I resolve this error.
we are using BSP application HAP_DOCUMENT.
according to me page fragment 'document_buttons.htm' (Method CONVERT_BUTTON_TO_UI) contains the code for button creation and button handling
the page fragment 'document_buttons.htm' is getting triggered when page is initialized but it is not triggering when button is clicked.
Additional info that might be useful to resolve the issue:
1) While viewing appraisal template's web layout in t-code PHAP_CATALOG_PA.
I am facing following script error.
This error reappears when I click on any standard button For eg SAVE
2) We are currently using IE 8
3) We recently upgraded ECC system from ECC 6.0 to ECC 6.0 / EHP 6 (ECC 6.6)
4) I checked SICF and corresponding services are active
Thanks in advance

Hi Adrian,
Design2008 service is inactive in my system.when activated temporarily I was not able to see previous page (Blank page was displayed) in my appraisal application.
For BSP application HAP_document, i checked SICF->default host->SAP->BC->BSP->SAP->HAP_document.This service is active.
The image which I have attached with my question is appraisal template's web layout in t-code PHAP_CATALOG_PA.

Button Alignment Issue

I have some custom buttons added to the sales order screen. When the font in B1 is set to "10", the buttons show up and are aligned just fine. When the user changes the font to anything other than "10", the buttons become mis-aligned and moved on the form even though I am setting the "Left" property to be the same for all three of them.
Also, on some computers, when the user minimizes the sales order form and then restores the form, all items (even system items) don't resize correctly and the sales order matrix shrinks to about 1/2 the size it was before, leaving a huge empty space on the form. When the add-on is closed, the issue goes away. I am not changing any properties on the system items or the form (width, height etc). I'm just adding three custom buttons and filtering for certain events on the form.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Curtis,
Did you follow the Standards and Guidelines UI documentation when creating your controls and forms? I am assuming that you did, but there are specifics with respect to the creation of buttons on forms? With other add-ons that you have created, have you experienced this issue?

Agentry | Windows Command | Action Type | Issue

Hello Experts,
I am trying to open a Windows Application from an Agentry Application.
I am using an Action of type "Windows Command" which will be triggered on a button click in Agentry.
In the action definition I have specified the value to Command Line property in different ways as mentioned below;
1. C:/Path/To/My/App.exe
2. "C:/Path/To/My/App.exe"
3. C:/Path/To/My/App.exe arg1 arg2 (here, arg1 and arg2 are arguments/parameters specific to my App.exe)
4. "C:/Path/To/My/App.exe" arg1 arg2
All of the above mentioned values (one at a time) work for me and I can open the Windows App on click of a button in Agentry App.
The other properties;
"Wait" check box is unchecked.
"Continue Label" is set to OK
"Cancel Label" is set to Not Allowed
But the issue is, I am able to do this in ATE and not in Windows Client or on Windows Device.
ATE Version is Agentry v6.1.0.3
Windows Client Version is Agentry v6.1.3.10200 (SAP WM 6.0)
Also tried it on Windows Client Version Agentry v7.0.3.257 (SAP WM 6.1.0)
Please put in your valuable suggestions.
Thanks,
Dharmaraj Patil

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for the reply.
I am using WPF Client for SAP WM 6.0 and also tried it on 6.1.0.
Ultimately, what I want to do is open another Windows App and pass few parameters to it.
Creating/ installing another app which does windows command line will complicate the things and add dependencies.
Whats your opinion?

Buttons in java like these of MS Word?

Hi,
is there a class in Java that allows the creation of buttons like these in the Toolbar of MS Word/Excel/... for choosing the font/background color?
so a button like this one: (click on left part: do an action, click on right part: do another action)
I I ---- I
I I \/ |
I______ I_____I

-use multiple buttons
-use images as icons instead of words
-use a combination of layouts that lets you stick 2 things next to each other (research GridBagLayout)
-button borders can be removed.

Button on a video

I am a former Sonic Creator user for DVDs and have switched over to Encore. Anyhow, I am working on a project requiring me to add a button onto a video to force subtitling off and on. The end product will be a BLU-RAY. Any suggestiions?

Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Encore doesn't support the creation of "buttons over video", sorry. It's a long-standing feature request; I know because I asked for the feature a long time ago.

UCCE 7.5: How to make automatic filling of wrap up codes in CAD

Hello, All!
In some situations we need to automatically filling of wrap up codes.
For example - agent is in the Outbound mode, customer not home, agent push "Customer not home" button, and after call must fill wrap up code "Customer not home". We want in this case to automatically filling wrap up code.
Is It possible?
May by - with creation custom button that will set outbound call result and fill wrap up at the same time..
Thank you!

Hello,
Wrapu-up is a reporting method, not telephony or UCCE method , what you can do in the outbound case is to do the call back but i had never saw a wrap-up to be used as a filling .
i think your best option is (if you really need this) is to go to a third party CRM agent software that is capable of doing such thing.

CS5 allows creation of buttons in AE, but for plain navigation options, I think it is just as easy to add in Encore or Photoshop.
