Dynamically changing Layout Managers Constraints

Hi,
Does any one worked on Changing the layout Constraints dynamically before ?, If so Can you explain me your experience and how it can be possible ?
Thanks,
Chekks

There are several ways of doing this, it really depends on your requirements as to which is suitable. (There are probably other ways of doing this as well).
- Try Reports XML Customizations
This is available in 6i and allows you to create a report dynamically on the fly. The template used will also allow you to change the paper size as well. The main limitation is that you are relying only on Reports defaulting to create the layout for you. The advantage is that you can store all your information to create the report in meta-data which can be driven by another tool.
- Use lexical parameters for queries and format triggers
Here, you have a fixed layout but dynamically change the query columns to the correct order. You would normally standardise on a "character" column type in order to do this. Even though the layout is fixed, you can use variable sized fields to push objects around. This can be difficult to setup.
- Use several layouts
You're reducing the options for the user, but you can have several layouts in the same report and turn them on/off. Effectively creating differing views of the same data.

Dynamic change layout(x/y) at runtime

Is it possible to change te layout at runtime, so i can change the x/y position of a field.
example: on my parameterform i give a x and y position of a field and then the field in showen on this position in de previewer.
Thanks

Hi, Gert-Jan
No, you cannot do this (and probably never will).
Layout fields don't have any x/y properties that you can change, programatically or not, at designtime or at runtime.
Maybe you should use a different tool. Forms can do this, and also Graphics, but I would advise you not to start using Graphics at the moment.
Hope this helps,
Pedro.

Dynamically changing the layout of thre report-urgent please

Can we change the layout of the report dynamically during runtime for example:the user should have flexibility to change the width, size , position of columns before the report is displayed & also he choose some fields not to display as per his discretion.

Dynamic Tabs Layout

Hello,
I'm using the latest version of JHeadstart (11.1.1.3.35). I have selected Dynamic Tabs layout and everything works fine except that the home page still shows all the groups as a tab in home page. If I click on any of them it will go to the tree menu and dynamic tabs. I have also changed "Content Frirst-Level Menu Tab" to all possible values but it doesn't change anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Sayyed

Sayyed,
The home page is just provided as a sample. It is a stand-alone page not a page fragment , so it cannot be used in a region. Since dynamic tabs only display regions, the dynamic tabs cannot be shown on the sample home page.
If you want to have dynamic tabs on your home page, then create a Home group in your application definitiion editor, and check the group-level checkbox "Show as Initial Tab".

Heavy Fog - Layout Managers and the word "preferred"

Hello again world.
While reading the API, the tutorials, and various other documentation dealing with layout managers, I keep coming across the word "preferred" - "preferred size", "preferred width", "preferred height", and so on.
However, I can't seem to visualize just what "preferred" means in this context.
Do they pre-suppose that one has used the setPreferredSize() method?
And if no set*Size() method is used, how does the parent container size its components? The literature just comes back to "preferred" this and that.
This whole "preferred" business is, to me, circular and confusing, and the more I read, the foggier things get.
Anyone out there with a fresh breeze?
Thank you one and all.
Ciao for now.

You should never use setSize(). The size of a component is set by the LayoutManager as the components in the container are layed out. For example say you are using a GridLayout and you have 3 buttons: following text:
small = new JButton("small");
medium = new JButton("medium sized");
large = new JButton("the largest button");
The preferred size of each button is calculated to be:
a) the size of the text +
b) the border +
c) the margin
When components are added to the GridLayout all components are made the same size. The preferredSize does not change, but the size of each button is set the the largest preferredSize of the three buttons before it is painted. The GridLayout ignores the preferredSize of individual components and only cares about the largest component.
On the other hand the FlowLayout repects the preferredSize of each component when they are layed out and painted. When using a FlowLayout you can set the preferredSize of each component to be the same by doing the following:
small.setPreferredSize( large.getPreferredSize() );
medium.setPreferredSize( large.getPreferredSize() );
Every LayoutManager has rules it follows with respect to preferredSize, minimumSize and maximumSize. Read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]Using Layout Managers.

Change Layout in ScrollContainer

Hi,
I would like to change dynamically the layout of a ScrollContainer that I created dynamically:
IWDScrollContainer shlpcontainer = (IWDScrollContainer)view.createElement(IWDScrollContainer.class, "name");
I would like to set the layout to GridLayout and be abble to set also the ColCount.
Thank for the help,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
        IWDScrollContainer shlpcontainer = (IWDScrollContainer)view.createElement(IWDScrollContainer.class, "name");
     IWDGridData gdInputFields =
          (IWDGridData) shlpcontainer.createLayoutData(IWDGridData.class);
          IWDGridLayout glInputFields =
               (IWDGridLayout) shlpcontainer.createLayout(IWDGridLayout.class);
          glInputFields.setColCount(4);
          glInputFields.setCellSpacing(3);
Hope the above code helps you. If you require any further clarification let me know.

Dynamically change icon name of push button

Hi,
I would like to ask how to dynamically change the icon name attribute of a push button in dialog programming. What is the syntax for assigning an icon name during runtime?
I am currently doing a multiple selection function for KNA1-KUNNR.
Initially, the icon name is ICON_ENTER_MORE. When the user picks up more than one customer, it should automatically change to ICON_DISPLAY_MORE. How can I do this?
here's the code i currently have:
DESCRIBE TABLE kunnr_ran LINES l_kunnr.
IF l_kunnr > 1.
      g_add_multiple = 'X'.
BT_MULT_CUST-icon_name = 'ICON_DISPLAY_MORE'.
ELSEIF l_kunnr = 1.
     CLEAR g_add_multiple.
BT_MULT_CUST-icon_name = 'ICON_ENTER_MORE'.
ENDIF.
The name of my pushbutton is BT_MULT_CUST.
The code in ** is not correct. I don't know the syntax in SAP. But that is how it is done in VB for example.
Thank you.
che =)

If you have not found your answer already, please try the following:
1) In screen layout painter: for the pushbutton in question (i.e. pb_multi_select), mark the "Output field" on the program attributes tab in the attributes window for the pushbutton. Make sure that its visible length is at least 2 too. This will "gray out" the "Text" and other fields.
2) In the TOP INCLUDE of the module program: add a variable for the pushbutton that is of type "icons-text" and don't forget to include <icons>. Below is an example
INCLUDE <icon>
DATA: pb_multi_select TYPE icons-text.
3) In a module called in the PBO modules for the screen that needs its button changed, call the function "ICON_CREATE" and pass at minimum the name of the icon and the field that you specified in step 2. Below is an example using the icon "ICON_DISPLAY_MORE", "ICON_ENTER_MORE", and a flag variable "MULTI_SEL_INFO_EXISTS" that indicates if any multiple selection information has already been entered. It would be set by the program (not automatically, but by coding) prior to the "IF" statement:
IF multi_sel_info_exists = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
         name = 'ICON_DISPLAY_MORE'
      IMPORTING
         result = pb_multi_select.
ELSE.
CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
      EXPORTING
         name = 'ICON_ENTER_MORE'
      IMPORTING
         result = pb_multi_select.
ENDIF.
You can change the button as you see fit with multiple different calls inside of "IF" or "CASE" statements. Please see documentation for "ICON_CREATE" for other parameters.
Hope this helps,
Brian

Changing layout parameters in container

Hi,
Is there a way to chage layout parameters for component wich is already in container???
Sample code:
JPanel jc = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JTextLabel xx = new JTextLabel("Text");
jc.add(xx,BorderLayout.CENTER);
public void ButtonClick(){
    changePosition(xx,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
public void changePosition(JComponent x,Object o){
    // Howto change layout constraint to component x
}-jori

Hi,
The gateway is installed within an instance by the dispatcher and reads its parameters from the profile file located in the profile directory in the SAP directory tree.
This means that the parameter can be changed in production operation (in transaction RZ10 or in the gateway monitor (SMGW) by choosing Goto ® Parameter ® Change. See Changing Gateway Parameters).
Hope this helps.

Changing Layout for Device Apps Panel

It is a minor matter but the layout of the Apps panel for my iPad seems to have changed and I see no way to change it back. At one time, the icons for home screens were arrayed to the right of the Window for the home screens. Now they are arrayed below. I'd like to cahnge it back but see no preference that affects this. What have I missed?

You still apparently haven't read the tutorial on using Layout Managers to understand the capabilites of each Layout Manager.
For instance, within the constructor of one of my JFrames using
System.out.println(this.getHeight()); prints 0, when of course this is not the case in reality for the frame's heightComponents don't have a size until the GUI is visible on the screen. That is until you've done a pack(), or a setVisible( true ). You should never be using setSize().
Layout Managers use setPreferredSize() ,setMinimumSize() and setMaximumSize() as suggestions for determining the layout. Although most layout managers don't use all the suggestions, which is why you need to read the tutorial to find out how the layout managers work.
I'm now having trouble trying to figure out how to only resize the height
of a JTabbedPane yet keep the width fixedWell, I don't understand the requirement. The preferred size of a tabbed pane is equal to the preferred size of the largest tab added to the tabbed pane. So I don't understand the concept of artificially changing the vertical height.
Anyway reread the tutorial on "How to Use the Border Layout". Two of the 5 areas respect the width of the component but alter the height to fill all the available space.
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

Best Practice: Dynamically changing Item-Level permissions?

Hi all,
Can you share your opinion on the best practice for Dynamically changing item permissions?
For example, given this scenario:
Item Creator can create an initial item.
After item creator creates, the item becomes read-only for him. Other users can create, but they can only see their own entries (Created by).
At any point in time, other users can be given Read access (or any other access) by an Administrator to a specific item.
The item is then given edit permission to a Reviewer and Approver. Reviewers can only edit, and Approvers can only approve.
After the item has been reviewed, the item becomes read-only to everyone.
I read that there is only a specific number of unique permissions for a List / Library before performance issues start to set in. Given the requirements above, it looks like item-level permission is unavoidable.
Do you have certain ideas how best to go with this?
Thank you!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to change item level permission.
There is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
You can create a custom permission level using Visual Studio to allow users to add & view items, but not edit permission.
Then create a group with the custom permission level. The users in this group would have the permission of create & add permission, but they could no edit the item.
In the CodePlex, there is a custom workflow activities, but by default it only have four permission level:
Full Control , Design ,Contribute and Read.
You should also customize some permission levels for your scenario.
What’s more, when use the SharePoint 2013 designer, you should only use the 2010 platform to create the workflow using this activities,

CRM 7.0 Change Layout in Pop-Up's

Hi Guru's,
i want to change the layout of a pop-up window.
That is the "normal" way to change layouts:
Open the Object what i want to change (in web ui), click with the mouse on the configuration-button. The technical details displayed, also the component name. Then i go in IMG BP WD Workbench and change the layout.
That works, i've done it much a lot.
But in pop-up's i can't click on a configuration-button. The button does not exist in pop-up's.
Example:
Logon Web UI, open an Opportunity, fill up the needed data and save. Then go on the Button "Follow-Up".
A pop-up window displayed. And this pop-up window, i want to change the layout (not only for me, i know i can do it with the button personally).
I hope somebody can give me a solution.
Thanks a lot and greetings
Tanja

Changing layout of ALV to excel and displaying the data there

Dear All,
My requirement is that I have to develop an ALV report, and also plot the graphs for the same.
I need different types of graphs, so I have searched on SDN, and I found out a blg:-
"Report with a Graph.. An Approach!"
Here is what the person has done:-
I developed a simple ABAP report using ALV and just dumped all my data on it.
After this I downloaded the Standard Excel template available in the ALV.
Defined my own worksheets in this template, wrote some macros to pick up the data from the RawHeader sheet, which is available by default and will contain the ALV data.
I inserted 1 chart in this Excel template. In this chart I used the same chart type as was being used by the user for his graph. Just right clicked on the Graph area and made the changes in the source data and made it point to the sheet containing the final data.
Thats it my job is almost done.
After this uploaded this template back into the report output through
the layout settings->Change Layout Tab.
Save it as a variant and made it a default. (Do not default it if you have more than 1 user and more than 1 template. Select the appropriate variant for the appropriate user and then display)
Well, this also was not that easy as I had thought. I landed up into 1 trouble.
In my report the number of columns displayed was not constant and kept changing based on the input. This fact was taken care by designing a variable field catalogue. But now I had gone past the simple ALV display and was giving the output in an Excel sheet using a pre-defined template. Well, I immediately found a solution to this with the set_frontend_fieldcatalogue method of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID class and fixed the field catalogue every time after calling the set_table_for_first_display method. This solved most of my problems, which were not many though.
Now here are my issues:-
I have developed the ALV report, and I have also changed the layout to excel.
But, I am unable to get the ALV Report data in the RawHeader Sheet, which is available by default.
Could anyone please guide me through this method??
It is urgent.
Points are assured for helpful answers.
Thanks and regards,
Prerna

Hi Satya Priya,
Do I have to create my own template, or the Standard ones available will do?
HEre is what I do:-

sap_mm.xls, and sap_om.xls
I select one of these, and the excel spreadsheet is displayed on the ALV screen.
But the re is another button, "Upload Document to BDS".
Do I have to upload one of the above templated to BDS?
And please tell me in detail, what is BDS???
Thanks for your help, and waiting for reply,

Dynamic Page Layout - Opportunity Product Revenue

Hi gurus,
I am trying to setup a dynamic template for "Opportunity Product Revenues"
I set it up successfully in the object. However, this data is exposed only as a related list of Opportunity and not directly. Now, when I go into the "Opportunity" customization, it only allows me to set up static page layouts, with no option to setup the Dynamic page layouts through the Related list.
Please help..

Hi Jonathan,
Many thanks for your response.
Our CTE is already on R19. We want to experiment and be ready when our PROD is upgraded to R19.
Can you help me with the requirement, if you have an idea please? I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks
