Form modes

I am trying to validate a item to be not null. I was coding in the trigger when-window-closed.
but i want to only validate if a specific button has been clicked before closing the form.
pseudo code - if button_clicked then validate item for null
else EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE)
i tried using a variable; make it 1 wen the button is clicked
IF (:GLOBAL.BUTTON_CLICK_COUNT) THEN
          Exit_Form;
     Else
          alert_id := find_alert('VALIDATION');
          choice := Show_ALert(alert_id);
               IF choice = ALERT_BUTTON1 THEN
                         go_item('POST_FIJI_AUDIT.STOCK_NO');
               end if;
     END IF;
but the Else clause always fires even if I dont click the button...I just logged into the application...opened the form and closed it...still it validated the item for null.
Then i tried using the form mode when its opened :
IF (:GLOBAL.BUTTON_CLICK_COUNT = '0' and *:system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY'*) THEN
          Exit_Form;
     Else
          alert_id := find_alert('VALIDATION');
          choice := Show_ALert(alert_id);
               IF choice = ALERT_BUTTON1 THEN
                         go_item('POST_FIJI_AUDIT.STOCK_NO');
               end if;
     END IF;
but again the else clause is entered.
Can anyone tell me how to check the form mode when it is just opened??
or suggest an idea on how to to the vaidation only after a button is clicked...??

Hi All
I just created a Form that i've attached on Oracle Ebusiness Suite R12 but my problem it's that it wont close when i click on 'X'
I have the following trigger *'WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED'* inside the trigger is this line of code app_standard.event('WHEN-WINDOW-CLOSED');
I'm not sure where i'm missing it does anyone ever experience this problem.
Thanks

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

DbDataSources and Form modes

Hi, I have a little problem, i was reading in the forum, but nobody has the same problem, so, i have a form, with 2 dbdatasources, one to OITM, and the other to OITW, in the form load i use the query method over the oitm dbdatasource and oitw dbdatasource and works fine, but by default the form opens in Find Mode and it's fine, when I change to Add Mode, all the dbdatasources disappers, and the update method doesn't work, does anybody has the solution of that?
i change the form mode to open in Add Mode but when I change to Find mode and the form works in the same way, dropping all the dbdatasources.
Message was edited by: Rodmmy Ortiz

Hey Rodmmy,
By default Business one resets the dbdatasources when changing to add mode as it assumes a new record is being added.
can you change the forms mode to add or OK mode first instead of find? and then populate the dbdatasource

Empty row i forms mode

If I set up a page in Table mode I can specify that I wish to have one or more empty rows when I open the page.
In forms mode you don't have the same option. I would like to open the page and in case of no rows would like to have a new row added without having to push the Add Row button.
Can this be done?

The technique Ibrahim describes is in itself correct for general ADF apps. However, in this specific situation you should not use an invokeAction binding because that does not fire the JHeadstart-specific JhsPageLifecycle.onCreate method which truly sets the page in "createMode"ensuring the correct buttons and titles are displayed/hidden.
See this thread for the correct technique:

Form Mode problem

In my user defined form, i start the form in FIND mode. After i entered values into the edittext and change the form mode to OK mode via SDK, the edittext value is all refresh to empty
WHy is this happening? Is this normal? Is there any solution to this?
Thanks

seems to be normal..I don't know..
First try to add a TextBox to your Form and before you change it to "Ok" Mode, set the Textbox's Text with your Edittext..
or declare a global string variable and before changing the Form Mode, give your value to this string
have a try..

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?
regards,
Ganesh kl

hi
in the screen painter it self use editable=false for item which u want.
in the menu event for add menuUID and while form loading make item editable=true
and for the menus find,first record,last record,next record,previous record use editable=false
1.while opening the form if u r opening in add mode then make item editable=true
2. If (pVal.MenuUID = "1282") And (pVal.BeforeAction = False) Then   'Add mode
'make item editable=true
endif
3. If (pVal.MenuUID = "1281") And (pVal.BeforeAction = False) Then   'Find mode
'make item editable=false

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".

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.

Regarding add/update/find form modes

Hi,
Can you please help me with the way to catch the event of add/update/find form modes? Currently we are able to catch the event of the button but we require to catch seperately the form modes (add/update/find).
Thanks in advance,
Jona

Hi Jona,
You can use the property pVal.FormMode when you catch the itemEvent.
You have access to :
- find mode : SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_FIND_MODE
- ok mode : SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_OK_MODE
- update mode : SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_UPDATE_MODE
- add mode : SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_ADD_MODE
- view mode : SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_VIEW_MODE
- print mode : SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_PRINT_MODE

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

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

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.

How do I exit edit form mode in Acrobat 7?

I haven't used the program for a while and I can't remember how. I thought it was a quick button somewhere, but I'm just not seeing it... I feel like a dunce...

OK, I'll bite. I'm in form editing mode and no hand tool appears. How can I make it show up? Do I have to quit the application to get out of form editing mode, then learn how to make the Hand Tool show up before I go back into form editing. Obviously, I'm trying to avoid a learning curve for using the app. That's what mobile devices have done to the philosophy of computer use, is it not?
