Hello Hoang Tran,
I have emailed you the what I have developed. Remember it meets
my client's need and may or may not be exactly what you want.
But you should be able to see what methods were used to

Deff. b/w form interface and globel definition

what is the defference bt form interface and globel definition

Hi,
Form Interface is where you get your internal tables, variables and all necessary information from the driver program. You specify the required data here.
Pls note that if you need to pass internal tables from the driver program to the SF then you need to create a structure with the similar fields in your internal table and give a reference to the same here in Form interface.
The import and export are nothing but same like a Function module, for variable to be passed from the driver program add them in the import tab. Export you can just let it remain as it is.
In the tables tab add the tables what you require from the driver program.
Global definitions are nothing but where you declare variables, work areas required to be used further in you program.
To do coding in SF, you need to add program lines. This you can do by creating any window and then on the left hand tree of the main window, right click and then you can find the options to create various things like table, window, program lines, command et.al.
Hope this helps you to build a brief idea about Smartforms.

Coding the controls in form region in Outlook 2007

We are using Outlook 2007. There is a need of adding a drop down control for field "Subject" in the appointment form. I can use a form region for that. Is it true that VB code cannot be used for the form region (in Sue Mosher's book, "Outlook
2007 programming)? Are there any other options? We also use Visual Studio 2008.
Thank you!
Marilyn

Hi Eugene,
I've already created a form region, via form designer in Outlook. And a combobox is bound to Subject field in the default form. But I need to dynamically populate the list in the combobox, according to a folder under which an apportment would be
made. Which means that I need to reference the form region and its controls in a code where I could assign combobox's data source to a table's field. I read some articles on VSTO. Just wanted to make sure there are no better/easier ways than using
VSTO.
Thanks so much for your help!

Submitting a form using LC 8.2 and Outlook 2010 32bit

Hello,
I have been searching the posts and have seen issues with attaching pdf's to email using Outlook 2010 64bit, but I am having the same issue with Outlook 2010 32bit. Is there a known issue with attaching the pdf via a submit button using the following code?:
RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" + "[email protected]" + "?subject=For Order #:" + OrdNmbr.rawValue ;
RealEmail.execEvent("click");
Our company recently upgraded to Win 7 pro v6.1 build 7601: sp1 and Office 2010 and ever since, the 20+ forms that I have created, stopped working. When I try to submit any of the forms, it gives me a small "clocking" icon for a second and then nothing happens.
I have tried to use Reader X thinking that it might help, but to no avail. I hope someone out there has a fix, otherwise I have wasted countless hours creating these forms just for them to break with a new system.
Thanks in advance for any insight!

I use Outlook 2010 and do not have issues emailing from inside a PDF. Typically there are two issues that pop up in these situations.
1. Did you Reader Extend the form before distributing it. Reader will not be able to mail the form unless it is Reader enabled. Acrobat does not have that restriction.
2. Virus Scan software can restrict or stop programs from using mail programs (like Outlook) programmatically. Are you running a virus scan program on these machines? Usually there is a panel where you can tell the Virus scan software that Acroabt and Reader are allowed to interact with Outlook 2010.
Hope that helps

Difference between Form Interface and Global definitions in Smartforms.

Hi guys!
I'm learning about Smartforms.
I would like to know which is the difference between Form Interface from the Global Settings and Global Definitions from Global settings as well, because in both of them I have to declare tables, structures, variables, etc. Could you please explain to me when should I use them?
Thanks!
Gaby

Two ways to use Smart Form:
1. by using Application Program
2. By coding in Smart form itself.
Now, if the 1st method is used then same interface can be used for multiple requirements. For eg two different programs Z1 and Z2, may use same interface. Hence a lot of efforts are reduced.
On the other side in 2nd method, multiple forms have to be created to fulfill different requirements.
Now, Global Definiton is something that is irrespective of which Program is being used, the form nodes can use the Global definition in all cases.
Also all tables etc must be declared in the Global setting.

Sana

Hi Eddy
Thanks for your response.I have followed the weblog. But my problem is still not solved.
I did the following:
1. I set the user.
2. I configured the SAPConnect Node in Transaction SICF.
3. I have created an exit as mentioned in weblog to create reply mails.
and also set that exit in SCOT-Settings-Inbound Processing.
but I am not able to recieve the replies.
Could you suggest me how to debug and get to know whether my exit (that I have set in Inbound Processing) is being processed or not on receiving mails.And if that is not being processed how can I come to know the root of problem?
Thanks and Regards,
Pragya Vatsa

OUTLOOK EXPRESS AND ORACLE FORMS

WITH THIS CODE,
win_api_shell.winexec('C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\OUTLOOK.EXE')
I CAN OPEN OUTLOOK EXPRESS FROM AN ORACLE FORM.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW I CAN MODIFY THIS CODE SO THE PROGRAM GOES INTO OUTLOOK EXPRESS AND OPENS A BLANK NEW MAIL MESSAGE FROM AN ORACLE FORM. ALSO IF THE ABOVE PROBLEM CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF CAN THE 'TO' LINE BE PREPOULATED WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS FROM AN ORACLE FORM. I KNOW THAT THIS CAN BE DONE WHEN SOMEBODY HAS BEEN LOGGED INTO THE INTERNET. HOW CAN SOMEBODY DO THIS IF THEY ARE NOT LOGGED INTO THE INTERNET?

This would be nice to know

Difference OLE and CPI - C interfaces

Hi,
Can any one explain the difference between OLE and CPi-C interfaces.
With Best Regrads
Mamatha

Once you get past the starting point (I am referring to the OP here), there are a few salient differences:
You can only extend (or generalize) a single superclass; however, you can implement (or realize) multiple interfaces. As such, all things being equal, using an interface in lieu of an abstract class 'frees' your design. Later, if you want the implementor of an interface to inherit from another class, there is not issue.
Any abstract method specifies a contract. However, abstract classes allow you to also add common behavior to subclasses. This is an overused justification for abstract classes, IMO. You can achieve the same effect using delegation and still having interfaces.
Always program to interfaces wherever possible. This means that you define an interface and have an implementing class (usually at a minimum). Do not do this for all your classes, but rather the ones that make your system unique (the domain model or M in MVC architecture). This allows you to later change implementation with a minimal amount of refactoring. This is a core precept from the Group of Four and any number of decent programming books.Best of luck.

Re: Adobe forms - interface type

Hi...
    When Iam creating the interface ... it is asking Description and
                                           interface type as         ABAPDictionary- Based interface
                                                                            XML Scheme- Based Interface
                                                                         Smartforms-Compatible interface...    Have to select one option.. In some Examples I didnt see this interface type Option... what is the use of this interface type...
Thanks & Regards,
Abaper..

hello again,
i tried to list all the things u need to know to create your interface:
1.      Open the required interface in the Repository Browser of the ABAP Workbench.
2.      The Interface tab is displayed. Under Form Interface, double-click the Import node
3.      You see a screen for entering import parameters. This screen also shows the standard parameter /1BCDWB/DOCPARAMS. You cannot change this parameter.
You use this parameter in your application program, to specify the value for the language setting, for example. To display this structure in the ABAP Dictionary, double-click the SFPDOCPARAMS type.
4.      XML schema-based interface
○     The standard parameter /1BCDWB/DOCXML with the type XSTRING is used for sending data from the application program.
ABAP-based or Smart-Forms-compatible interface
○     To insert a new line, choose Insert Line (This graphic is explained in the accompanying text). Enter the parameter names of the data you want to import. These names are valid for the whole form and do not have to match the variable names in the data collection program. All data types are valid. TYPE can be selected under Type Assignment.
5.      When you double-click Export, you see the standard parameter /1BCDWB/FORMOUTPUT of the generated function module. You cannot change this parameter.
Note: You use this parameter in your application program, to make the generated form available as a PDF for further processing, for example.
6.      To display the exceptions used by the generated function module, double-click Exceptions.
7.      Activate the interface.
Note: At runtime, the application program must provide the parameters. If a parameter has been defined in the form, but is not defined when the application program is called, then the output of the form ends with the program crashing (hex dump).
However, it is also possible that the application program provides parameters that the form does not need. You do not need to mention these parameters in the form; they can also be specified in a different order from the code of the application program. This has the advantage that an application program can work with several different forms.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Example of form

Dear All,
I and new to Forms and is using 4.5 and 6.0 can anyone give me the free site address where I can download the examples build forms for my study. Having complex interface like Reference
If anyone willing to help me with forms build by you will be appriciated.
Regards,
Manoj

If you had installed the demos, then you will find sample forms in the forms directory. Otherwise, you can check it out in the installation CD. However, I don't think that they contain examples of reference (I'm not quite sure what you mean here - I assume that you want the object reference ie. shared code and objects between forms ?).

Forms 4.5 & Excel & OLE 2

Hi
I need some help to specify the data source for an Excel graph .
I have a form interface and I use it to transfer datas from my database to an Excel sheet. I would like too to generate a graph on a new Sheet ('Graph1') but it doesn't work.
I tried some solutions as SeriesCollection.NewSeries but my graph is not like it should be. I succeed in specifying the type of my graph or the legend as visible, but I really need help to specify my data source (for example : Feuil1!$B$20:$F$20).
Thanks for your help,

Diff. btwn Form Interface & Global definations?

Hi Guys,
Wat r the differences between Form Interface and Global definations(if possible with example)? Pls. list out.
Thank you.

When you create a SmartForm and activate it creates a function module which has same interface as the Form Interface of the smartform. Smartforms are always called by calling the corresponding function module. There is 1 fm for each smartform. The form interface has the IMPORT, EXPORT, TABLES and EXCEPTION, same like in a fm
Global definitions in smartforms is used to define data variables, type definitions, field symbols, form routines etc which are used globally withing the smartform. Every part of SmartForm can access these objects defined in Global definitions.
