Form Mode Change Event

Hi,
Is there any way to capture form's mode change? (eg: from OK to UPDATE...)
Thanks

As far as I've tested (I'm developing it by now) you must coordinate some pieces:
1) First, your form must set AutoManaged="1" attribute
2) Second, every item which you decide changes your form status must set AffectsFormMode="1" attribute (for example, set to "1" for edittext, but "0" to folders because if you click a folder item it doesn't affect your data)
3) capture the itemevent and menuevent of this form, and check then form's mode property
I hope it helps, greetings

How to control item between Form mode change

Hi Experts
I am using B1DE to do something like some item's enable status will be changed following the Form mode change.
For instance, add a new matrix into system form, if changing the Form mode to Find, I want to disable this matrix, if changing to Add mode, the matrix should be enable.
Do you how how to do this?
Thanks
Tim

Hi,
You need to capture Menu Event in your code and can make matrix either editable or non editable.
Sub MenuEvent(ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.MenuEvent, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean)
        Try
            Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form = objMain.objApplication.Forms.ActiveForm
            If pVal.BeforeAction = False Then
                If pVal.MenuUID = "1281" Then                // For Find Mode
                    //make matrix editable or non editable
                End If
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            objMain.objApplication.StatusBar.SetText(ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub

Detect form mode change?

can anybody please tell if and how is possible to detect (i.e., an event is generated only for this) when user changed form mode ? meaning something like not having to check pVal.FormMode in another event.. just if there a special way to detect that? because I want to do some custom actions when this happens. thanks in advance.

try it in menu event - Find is 1281, new is 1282. For the rest form modes you should check it in item event - maybe is easier solution.

Form mode changes in update mode while clicking on folders

On user defined form
While navigate last record form mode is "Ok"
when i click on further folders form mode going to change in update mode
How to resolve this problm?

Hello,
I experienced this yesterday as I was creating new form with ScreenPainter.
I solved it by directly editing the resulting srf file (xml syntax).
The folders can easily be identified from their type (type="99") and I changed the AffectsFormMode attribute from 1 to 0 in both the "item" element and the included "specific".

Form Mode Change

Dear everyone,
I followed the SDK sample code "SystemFormManipulation" and add a tab in sale order form. I found that the form mode will change when the newly added tab is clicked. Why this happen?? How could i solve it??
Thanks!!
Regards,
Kit

Hi Kit,
Try this in the tabs items:
oItem.AffectsFormMode = False
What is happening is that when you select a tab, you're changing the datasource (user or db), so that the form mode is affected. This way you will solve it.
Hope this helps,
Ian

How can we track the entire event in which the form mode gets changed?

If the form is in OK Mode and if the user edits any field(Including UDF Window Fields). form mode changes to Update...So at that time, how can we track the entire event in which the form mode gets changed?
Thanks
Hari

Dear hari angamaly,
You could get the form mode by FormMode Property in ItemEvent Object in UI API.

Form Mode validation

Hi ,
created Add-on Form using screen painter. in form update mode i want to make my document no fleld(user defined) to be non-editable(enabled=fasle) like normal SAP screens.i used the following code for that.
Select Case pVal.FormUID
         case "FormId"
                Select Case pVal.Before_Action
                         case "true"
If pVal.FormMode = "2" Then
   OForm = sbo_application.Forms.Item("Frmuid")
               OForm.Items.Item("Doc_No").Enabled = False
End If
                  End Select
End Select
its working fine. but the event will trigger again and again until change in form mode.
i want to eliminate execution of statement once the docnumber field is set to Enabled = False in update mode.where i can add my code exactly?

TaxonomyWebTaggingControl - how to fire a jquery method during selected index changed event.

I have a taxonomyWebTaggingControl of Sharepoint 2013. I want to populate other controls on the page on change event of taxonomy Control.
Is there a way to do this with this control.
I have seen from view source that the control is a span with an hidden field, but when I have tried to attach a change event to that hidden field using jquery then could not do the same.
Can idea would be highly appreciated?
Thanks & Regards, Soumyadev | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Your problem is that you are using the textboxes to perform two separate functions, displaying the current selection and editing. This sort of approach is asking for just the kind of trouble that you are experiencing. Experience tells me that if you persevere
for long enough, you will eventually get it to work, but the result will be a confusing tangle of setting and unsetting flags based on whether the textboxes have gained or lost the focus (and hence the text change is due to the user typing in the box or not),
and you won't have any way for the user to cancel their changes if they make a mistake.
I suggest adding an Edit button which explicitly sets the textboxes into edit mode, and Apply and Cancel buttons to confirm or discard the changes. Or possibly even better, write a new form just for editing that is invoked when the Edit button is pressed.

Form Mode Update

Hi.
I have the following problem:
My button is id 1.
If my form mode is Update and I do click on my button. this change to Ok.
I have a event that when a field is nothing this show a message and I need that it is on update mode.
Thank for your help
Regards,
Jose

Dear Jose Villarreal
You could implement the function as following code:
Private Sub SBO_Application_ItemEvent
Case et_ITEM_PRESSED:
         If pVal.ItemUID = "1" Then
                    Set oEdit = oForm.Items.Item("test").Specific()
                    If oEdit.String = "" Then
                           oForm.Mode = fm_UPDATE_MODE
                    End If
                End If
End Sub

Dynamic Action, validation check, on an Item, could not use Change event

I am learning how to use Dynamic Actions in a 3.2.x app that was upgraded to 4.0.x. I wanted to share what I learned adding client side validation with these actions. Perhaps an Apex guru could suggest an easier method to use this feature.
I have an existing function where a user selects multiple rows in a report page, and then assigns a single status and enters justification text for the selected rows in another page, then saves changes (via submit).
One item, justification, is required. I replaced my JavaScript validation of an empty value, e.g., P10_JUSTIFICATION.value, with a dynamic action. The Change event was a candidate for this item, with the "is not null" Condition. However, it is possible to initiate this screen to review the status, overlook the justification text and immediately select a button to save changes. No Change event has fired. The Before Page Submit event was applicable here. This Event selection in the wizard does not provide the Item for definition and then the Condition wasn't the right context though available for selection. I selected JavaScript expression for the Condition, actually entered my original JS test expression, and created one True Action. The True action displays an Alert to tell the user that required text is missing.
Test of this DA was not completely successful. The alert appeared but the page went on to submit anyway. I found I had to add another True Action, Cancel Event, to stop the submit. The DA was then successful.
The Apex site examples, [http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/apex/r40/apexdynactions/apexdynactions_ll.htm] , do a great job showing use of Change and Set Value events for Items but a user may not always navigate through items. These features were promoted for developers with no to little knowledge of JavaScript to use Apex for application development. This DA required using/understanding JS anyways.
My next step is to implement actions on a tabular form that that has required values. It is disconcerting that I have read in the forum that the column value references such as f0x and its row number are required to get it all working (as a DOM or JQuery selector). I have already found that tabular form columns can be re-ordered from v3.2.1 to 4.0.x. I was hoping I could declare dynamic actions or simpler Javascript methods that would not rely on f0x array references.
Thanks,
Kelly

It is disconcerting that I have read in the forum that the column value references such as f0x and its row number are required to get it all working (as a DOM or JQuery selector).Not necessarily. One possibility is to use descendent jQuery selectors to attach the dynamic action event handler by column heading:
td[headers="HIREDATE"] input

On change event of Dropdown (Loop)

I am very very new to Adobe and the use of Java. I am attempting to create a form to add or remove users from one of our systems. I have a dropdown box where the end user selects how many users they want to add or remove. In the 'change' event of the dropdown, I have the following:
if (event.newText == "1")
aVendorCont1.presence
= "visible";aVendorEmail1.presence
= "visible";aVendorCont2.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail2.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont3.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail3.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont4.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail4.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont5.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail5.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont6.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail6.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont7.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail7.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont8.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail8.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont9.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail9.presence
= "invisible";
else
aVendorCont1.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail1.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont2.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail2.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont3.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail3.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont4.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail4.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont5.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail5.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont6.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail6.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont7.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail7.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont8.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail8.presence
= "invisible";aVendorCont9.presence
= "invisible";aVendorEmail9.presence
= "invisible";
end
if
The user has the choice to add or remove up to 9 users. I havebasically duplicated the above changing the value in the event.newtext and then changing the corresponding presence value to match. How do I get it to loop through the selections? Please keep in mind I am a novice.

Hello Tim,
And in GET_V of the attribute serving as dropdown you defined an event?
* Set the type of the field: dropdown menu
   CASE iv_property.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_fieldtype.
      rv_value = cl_bsp_dlc_view_descriptor=>field_type_picklist.
    WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_onclick.
      rv_value = 'select'.
ENDCASE.

XML Forms: save form in "Show Form" Mode

Hi All,
Is there a way to have 2 edit screens in XML Forms?
My scenario:
1) user creates form
2) admin reads form and changes the property "status" to "form read" (a field that the user does not see) and saves.
Is this possible?
I can add the controls for the "status" input and save button.
But when in Display mode I click on the save button and it errors.
Cheers,
Vic

No sourceSet nodes in the change event??!, help!

I have Acrobat 9 pro and it comes with Lifecycle 8.2 ES
I decided to try the data drop down with an address block for a simple database hello world form.
I have read every web reference to this (on the surface) simple hello world style forms project.
In the process I’ve learned formCalc, accessors, clone(1), Ref, the XML form model, sourceSet,
binding, nodes, items, shortcut formCalc notation, form vars, defining OLEDB and OLEDB ODBC (tried both).
I’ve coded the change event at least 30 different ways using both formCalc and javascript.
I still can’t get this to work. I belive in RTFM but this has finally kicked my a** and I need some help.
I know what the problem is, I don’t believe it. The sourceSet node in the change event has 0 nodes even though I have two data connections and I can access them in the initialize event. Did they remove access to the sourceSet in the change event completly in Acrobat 9 and just didn’t tell anyone?
My database is SQL server with two tables.
A customer table with Name and CustomerID
An Address Table with CustomerId and address information
I set up the data drop down to display the Name and then in the change callback I tried to get the CustomerId
and query for the data in the second table. I’ve bound the address block data to fields in the second table and set the second table to delayed open.
I’ve tried this with every possible way of coding an accessor. When coded directly (using the intellsence thing) I get unknown accessor for the error. When using the index method and searching for it with a while, I get index out of range with an index value of 0.
Here is a formCalc version of the change callback:
========================
$host.messageBox(“In Change”)
var sName = xfa.event.newText
var sCustomerId = $.boundItem(sName)
var oDataConn = Ref($sourceSet.DataConnectionCRM.clone(1))
$host.messageBox(sCustomerId )
oDataConn.#command.query.commandType=”text”
oDataConn.#command.query.select = Concat(“SELECT [Name], Customer.[CustomerId], [AddressLine1], [AddressLine2], City, State, Zip FROM [DSD_JDEPROD].[dbo].[Customer] join [DSD_JDEPROD].[dbo].[Address] on PrimaryAddressId = Address.AddressId where Customer.CustomerId = ‘”, sCustomerId ,”‘;”)
oDataConn.open()
========================
This version of the code has the unknown accessor error at this line:
var oDataConn = Ref($sourceSet.DataConnectionCRM.clone(1))
I’ve coded this line many different ways using xfa notation, $sourceSet notation, resolveNode notation, but in the end it doesn’t matter
because this message box:
$host.messageBox(Concat(“sourceSet=”,xfa.sourceSet.nodes.items.length))
returns a 0 count in the change event.
I’ve check the XML and I have sourceSet in there and as I’ve said, the intellisense thing works and
the initialize callback works. The dropdown is correctly populated.
Note: I do realize I’m going to have to do something different in order to get the customerId as this:
var sCustomerId = $.boundItem(sName)
doesn’t work due to the way the initialize event populates the drop down. I’m sure I can fix that.
I just can’t get past the problem of no sourceSet nodes in the change event.
Thanks for your help!

I have done the samething and here is the code that I used .....are you by chance using Reader to run this form?
Paul
//get the input from the DDlist
var inName = xfa.event.newText;
if (inName == ""){
app.alert("You must enter a valid name - try again!")
var nIndex = 0;
while(xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).name != "DataConnection2")
nIndex++;
var oDB = xfa.sourceSet.nodes.item(nIndex).clone(1); // the node pertaining to the data connection specified
//app.alert(oDB.saveXML("pretty"));
//set up sql call to DB to get specifics about employee
oDB.nodes.item(1).query.setAttribute("text", "commandType");
oDB.nodes.item(1).query.select.nodes.item(0).value = "Select * from table1 where AcctNumber = '" + inName + "'";
//app.alert(oDB.nodes.item(1).saveXML("pretty"));
//now connect to DB and get a record
oDB.open()
//close the connection when finshed
oDB.close();
