Extra boxes when Main Window Overflows

Hi All,
I created a table in Main Window, after that i have long texts. If the long text overflows, then i am getting two boxes which are not even present in the form anywhere. I am wondering how to get rid of those two extra boxes. Please help me.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Elobrate it a bit more.
I couldn't visualize what do you mean by extra box, where exactly they are...before the table/ after the table.
or extra boxes in one coulm of the table.
cheers,
Sai

Main window overflowing in SAPScript

I have a Main window in SAPScript and i have displayed a box around it using the foll. command
POSITION XORIGIN '-1' MM YORIGIN '+0' MM
BOX FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 1
I also have horizontal and vertical lines for the rows & columns (like a table)
When the data is more than 1 page it flows to the next page. But on the next page all the horizontal and vertical lines move to the top of the page whereas my data is displayed below. Also the box around my main window no longer appears.
I think it is mainly becoz i have 2 other windows- Payee and Vendor address before the main window on the 1st page whereas they are not reqd. on the 2nd page. How do i solve the problem so tht the lines and box fit properly on the main window on every page?

Hi
You can define different condition for printing the box for Main window.
And also you can define different Window sizes like Top margin, Window height etc for different pages differntly
in the main window text elements say
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY
So that depending on the size of the MAIN window the Box is drawn.

Try changing X postion to not equal to zero something else for example.
/:           POSITION WINDOW
/:           POSITION XORIGIN '-0.1' CH YORIGIN '+0.4' LN
/:           SIZE WIDTH +0.7 CH HEIGHT +5.0 LN
/:           BOX FRAME 7 TW

Printing dynamic box in main window in scripts

hi ,
I want to print the dynamic box in main window of my script.
Ex. Suppose the content of the main window is 5 lines so it should print box for 5 those lines only.

Hi,
Create a Main window with only 2 lines, Give a BOX command it will give u Border for entire Main window.
/:BOX FRAME 10 TW
For giving vertical lines Syntax is
/:BOX XPOS 16 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
It gives u a vertical line at 16 character. so for ur requirment add another command at another XPOS.
Try this below just below ur ITEM ELEMENT which has the display fields.
Main Window
/E ITEM_A
A,,,,&ITAB-ABC&,,&ITAB-XXX&,,&ITAB-CDE&,,&ITAB-GEF&
/:BOX FRAME 10 TW
/:BOX XPOS 16 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
/:BOX XPOS 26 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
/:BOX XPOS 36 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
/:BOX XPOS 46 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
Change XPOS according to ur requirement.
Now add another main window to the same page with changing UPPER margin, U can add upto 99 Main windows in one page.
So add upto ur Page is full.
For headings
Create a Variable window same as Main window, in place of fields, give descriptions.
Make sure that u give BOX command below the field declaration, if u give above, for last record it will not print box.

DRWAING BOXES IN MAIN WINDOW

HOW TO DRAW BOXES IN MAIN WINDOW WITH OUT USING BOX XPOS

u can draw dynamic boxes by using uline n vline options. But it takes a lot of time, and is suggestible only if it is very critical. Just try out.
By using uline and vline, you can draw lines dynamically. Also u can specify the width too ... eg ... uline(120). Dont forget to specify the font style ans size of the font.

Box in main window (sapscript) problem.

Hi, all.
I meet a weird problem....
I have 2 pages form which have 2 same MAIN window and of course their source code is same one. But when I run the output form, I found that one of the page which main window's box is disappear, while the other page no problem.
How come like this? Should be the box appear in both MAIN window, right? Hope someone can guide me.
Thanks in advance.

Boxes in the main window only get printed in the first page, unless you include them in an element and explicitly call the, But of course that's not the way to go.
Every other window in the same page which has content that's not inside one element gets printed every page. So to solve your problem, declare another window (perhaps called BOXES) with the appropiate dimmensions and define in it the boxes you need. Replicate this BOXES in the other pages (if you use different page formats inside the sapscript) or leave it in the First page (if it's the only one in the sapscript). The boxes will now print in every page.

Box in MAIN window of sapscript keeps misaligning...

Hello Experts,
I am currently modifying a sapscript and inside the MAIN window, there is a box command that 'boxes' a
static text. But the problem is, the box misaligns since the number of line items is dynamic.
So, how can I make the box command to just 'box' the static text correctly even though the line item is
dynamic?

HI,
Declare the Box and Static text in the main window with a new text element after the text element of the line items . so it will print it in the end when all of the Line items are printed..
(or)
Just create another script with the BOX and the text you want inside the BOX. i.e. this becomes another script which is separate from the line items you are printing there.
call this script in your driver program with start_form FM.
REPORT YTEST_SCRIPT.
DATA:
ITAB TYPE TABLE OF SFLIGHT,
FS TYPE SFLIGHT.
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT INTO TABLE ITAB.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
EXPORTING
 FORM = 'ZSCRIPT_TEST'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
LOOP AT ITAB INTO FS.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
 EXPORTING
 ELEMENT = 'TEST'
 WINDOW = 'MAIN'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'. "---------->Ends the previous form
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM' "------------> Starts your new script with BOX and Static text
EXPORTING
 FORM = 'ZSCRIPT_TEST1'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
EXPORTING
 ELEMENT = 'TEST'
 WINDOW = 'MAIN'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
This will print the BOX and the Static text in a new page after the line items got printed..
This will solve your issue...
Thanks&Regards

Box inside Main window issue in Scripts

I have issue in placing a box inside the main window. I would like to display text with a box frame at end of the line items.
I tried creating seperate FOOTER window in the Last page, but it dint work as expected, since if the line items ended in the first page then the LAST page did not trigger and one more complication was if there were 4 pages, then there was blank window (FOOTER) in 2 pages and it looks ugly.
I tried putting the box frame by using text element, calling after the end of the line items. The text displayed as needed, but the frame was misaligned.
Kindly help me. Thanks in advance.
Have a great weekend.

Raj,
Try to find out which text element is trigerring after the line items text element while debuging the script and then place the box code in that text element.
regards.

Positioning box in Main Window

I have a main window (Sapscript) with multiple text elements as follows:
<Start Text Element1>
Include statement with varying text length
<End Text Element1>
<Start Text Element2>
Include statement with varying text length
<End Text Element2>
<Start Text Element3>
I need a box to appear here with item header. ****
<End Text Element3>
How can I position the box in the 3rd text element section ? The text appearing in Text Element1 & Text Element2 are not fixed in length. I will not know where text element 3 starts.

Hi...
You can do like this.
BOX XPOS YPOS WIDTH 10 CM HEIGHT 10 CM
INCLUDE TEXT
INCLUDE TEXT
INCLUDE TEXT.
Here, you need to change your XPOS and YPOS accordingly
So that your Third text will be fit in the Box.

Sandeep Reddy.

Printing of boxes in Main window of SAP Script at 2 different locations

Hi Experts,
I have an requriement in SAP script, I want to draw two boxes. The first box will be at the beginging of main window with 0.5 cm, which is comming perfectly. After the first box I have to display the entries related to a particular table, after the completion of that table I need to draw another box of lenght 0.5cm and the entries related to another table, needs to be displayed.
I am able to get the first box with intensity, but for the second box I am not getting exact position where i need to draw a dynamic box by filling intensity.
For that reason i have drawn two ulines and wrote the text, is there any way to fill internsity in between those lines.
Thanks
Ravi.

Hi Sujeet,
I already tried with that command, the problem is in between two boxes I dont know how many lines of data will come.
There is a need of drawing a box dynamically.
Thanks

Draw box across main window

Hi,
I need to draw a box around the whole main window using BOX. i.e, if the page extends to more than one page, the box should draw on the next pages also. Right now I'm able to draw only on the first page. How should I do this?
This is what I have now.

SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
SIZE WINDOW
BOX FRAME 10 TW
BOX WIDTH '260.75' MM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
BOX XPOS '2.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
BOX XPOS '10.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
BOX XPOS '11.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Thanks,
A.P

Hi,
put the box declaration b/w top and endtop.

Smart Forms: No next page when MAIN-Window is full

Hi you SmartForms-Experts,
i've got a SmartForm for Purchase Order. This SmartForm breaks with a error message when the MAIN-window on page "FIRST" is filled up and some more positions should appear in the MAIN-window on page "NEXT".
The following page for page "FIRST" is "NEXT" and the following page for page "NEXT" is "NEXT".
The printing program is a customer-copy of SAPFM06P, entry is "ENTRY_NEU".
There is another window that is to be processed at the end of MAIN-window. I first thaught, that this is the problem, but it doesn't matter if it is deleted oder processed "before end" of the MAIN-window oder "after end".
I debugged my smartform several times, but only saw the errors occur and did not recognize why.
MAIN-window has got the same width on page "FIRST" and on page "NEXT".

Hi Aidan,
thank you for your answer. I solved the problem yesterday in the late evenening. It was similiar to your answer.
There are some other windows in my smartform besides of "MAIN" that are copied from page "FIRST" to "NEXT". One of them was smaller (width) than the original on first page. And therefore it could not be processed.
I learned: Never change another programmers Smartform, even he left the company three years ago. Try to make your own Form.
Thanks
Franz

C# MDI application: how to scale child windows when main window is re-sized?

Hi,
I have an MDI application that have several child forms. Users can view several forms at one time, and users also are given the options to arrange the child forms anyway they want: cascade or tile. What I want to achieve is that if the
parent window is re-sized, all child forms should also be re-sized proportionally. The code that I have only work if the child forms are tiled horizontally, AND that I only make the main window wider. Otherwise, all forms are scaled (but not perfect),
however, the location is not scaled; therefore, they are overlapping each other. I greatly appreciate any help from you.
Size m_preSize;
private void MainForm_ResizeBegin(object sender, EventArgs e)
m_prevSize = this.ClientRectangle.Size;
private void MainForm_ResizeEnd(object sender, EventArgs e)
int iWidth = m_prevSize.Width;
int iHeight = m_prevSize.Height;
double dXFactor = (double)(this.ClientRectangle.Width) / (double)iWidth;
double dYFactor = (double)(this.ClientRectangle.Height) / (double)iHeight;
foreach (Form c in this.MdiChildren)
if (!c.Visible)
continue;
if (c.WindowState == System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized ||
c.WindowState == System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Minimized)
// DO not ajust on resize if a child window is at its Maximized state
return;
c.Scale(new SizeF((float)dXFactor, (float)dYFactor));
Best Regards,
Emily

Hi Badidea,
Once again, I did not explain my idea clearly. I am sorry about that. I only wanted to scale the child-windows as the parent re-sized. And yes, if the child-windows fill up the view-able area of the parent's window, I would like them to
also fill up the view-able area of parent's window once again after re-size of parent window. No scroll should be involved.
Regards,
Emily
Hello,
It depends on how you cascade or tile these forms.
In this case, I would recommend you use this way below.
1. Layout with splitContainers.
2. Set each child form's toplevel to false, then add them to the panels of splitContainers.
3. Resize these form to fit the panels.
4. repeat #3 inside the main form's resize event.
Here is a simple sample.

You could download it form http://1drv.ms/1Mwwibp.
It is quite similar with the one for tiling, you could edit it to fit your requirements.
