Linked button in a Grid (SBO 2005)

Hy,
Is it possible to add a linked button in a grid? I saw some posts for linked buttons in a matrix but this doesn't work for me.
The code that I use to fill the grid is:
               Item GOrder = form.Items.Item("GOrder");
               Grid gOrder = ((Grid)(GOrder.Specific));
               int intCountDatatable = 0;
               try
                    form.DataSources.DataTables.Item("TOrder").ExecuteQuery(strSQL);
               catch
                    return;
               gOrder.DataTable = form.DataSources.DataTables.Item("TOrder");
If you (all) need more info, just let me know. Hope you can help...

Hey Joeri!
My guess it isn't possible; if you look through the UI-API, you'll see that there isn't a BoLinkedObject property, and no possibility to set a column to a linkedbutton type...
Good luck,

How to set Link object type to grid column??

Hello friends ,
I m using C# language. I want to set LinkedObjectType to the grid columns.So how can I set the Linked Obj type to the grid column?
Reguards ,
Mithun

Hi,
it should look like this.
oGrid.Columns.Item(ColUID).Type = BoGridColumnType.gct_EditText;
EditTextColumn col = (EditTextColumn)oGrid.Columns.Item(ColUID);
col.LinkedObjectType = "2"; // Link to BusinessPartner

Link button in data grid

hi
Can anyone tell me why the click action is not working when
the link button is placed in datagrid.
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="edit" headerText="">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:LinkButton label="edit" click = "click1();">
</mx:LinkButton>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
even if button is placed in the datagrid it is not working.

When you use the <mx:Component> tag you create a new
scope. Its as if all of the content of the <mx:Component>
were in another file. If you used a separate file for your renderer
you wouldn't expect click() function to be recognized, right?
You can modify your renderer like this to make it work:
<mx:LinkButton label="edit" click =
"outerDocument.click1();">
Another option is to take advantage of the bubbling feature
of the click event. Instead of putting the click handler on the
LinkButton, put it on the DataGrid itself. Any click on the
DataGrid will then trigger the event handler.
The drawback to that is that EVERY click will call the event
handler - either the LinkButton's click on a click on the header.
Your event handler just has to examine the event data to determine
what control originated the event.
In this case, using outerDocument.click() is far easier, but
you might need the bubbling property of the event at some point in
the future.

Link Button to UDO in my Grid

hi,
is ther a way to implement a link button im my Grid Column and bind it to an existing UDO ?
I'm using SBO 2007A SP00 PL37.
the following code, shows the link button and links to an item
oGrid.Columns.Item(0).Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoGridColumnType.gct_EditText
        oCol = oGrid.Columns.Item(0)
        oCol.LinkedObjectType = 4
i tried to link to my udo by the following but without success:
oGrid.Columns.Item(0).Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoGridColumnType.gct_EditText
        oCol = oGrid.Columns.Item(0)
        oCol.LinkedObjectType = "UDO_VM_CONTRACT"
I'm looking for a way of direct linking. Now i try to do the following workaround, but maybe there is a better way to solve this problem:
Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_MATRIX_LINK_PRESSED
                        If pVal.BeforeAction = False Then
                            BubbleEvent = False
                            moSboApplication.ActivateMenuItem("VmContract")
                        End If
best regards
Markus

Hi Madhu,
the udo object type is not working. To get the drill down functionality you have to use the item-object (4) and catch the matrix link pressed event and search the udo by your own logic.
' Add a link button to a column
        oGrid.Columns.Item(0).Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoGridColumnType.gct_EditText
        oCol = oGrid.Columns.Item(0)
        oCol.LinkedObjectType = 4
Case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_MATRIX_LINK_PRESSED
                            If pVal.ColUID = "Vnr" And pVal.BeforeAction = True Then
                                BubbleEvent = False
                            Dim sLink As String
                            Dim oGrid As SAPbouiCOM.Grid
                            oGrid = oForm.Items.Item("Gcont").Specific
                            oGrid.DataTable = oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Item("DTcont")
                            sLink = oGrid.DataTable.GetValue(0, pVal.Row)
                            moSboApplication.ActivateMenuItem("VMarkus")
                            moSboApplication.Forms.ActiveForm.Mode = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_FIND_MODE
                            moSboApplication.Forms.ActiveForm.ActiveItem = "txtdocnum"
                            moSboApplication.Forms.ActiveForm.Items.Item("txtdocnum").Specific.value = sLink
                            moSboApplication.Forms.ActiveForm.Items.Item("1").Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular)
                            End If
                End Select
This works very well.
have fun

Link button in grid column to UDO

Hi,
I read through the posts regarding linking to user-defined objects, but I found it very confusing. Some posts say that it is not possible to create a link button to a UDO; others say you need to use the extended-object property.
Does anyone have code that I could use to designate a grid column as a link to a UDO?
The code I'm using is:
oGrid.Columns.Item(1).Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoGridColumnType.gct_EditText
txtColumn = oGrid.Columns.Item(1)
txtColumn.Width = 83
txtColumn.LinkedObjectType = ???
I need to fill in the "???".
If I designate an SAP B1 object type it works.
Thanks,
Mike

Rasmus,
Thanks for taking the time to provide a detailed explanation. I think though that SAP needs to solve these kinds of problems. It is my understanding that the main design goal of Business One is to provide an infrastructure that would reliably enable customization around it. There is no such thing as accounting software that does not need some kind of adaptation to make it work for specific kinds of business models. So a design that makes customization easier makes a great deal of sense.
If it is necessary to improvise in order to do what you need, then this design goal has not been met. It also means that Business One is not what is managing the process because you are effectively going around it. This in my view is actually worse than if Business One made these links work. By forcing us to go around it, we effectively loose the data protection that Business One should be providing. This is my take on it anyway.
We solved the problem by opening the appropriate form with the appropriate data in it by using the double-click event. The reason we have to do it this way is because the SDK will not even display the link button in a grid if its target is a UDO. This brings up another reason for the SDK to be more cooperative with these efforts. SAP has provided a detailed document describing the need to not deviate from Business Ones look and feel. Perhaps SAP needs also to provide an SDK that more reliably and easily enables that caveat.
If Business One had been designed from the ground up using SOA, its original design goal would be a lot easier to meet. Maybe this is the real problem.
Thanks,
Mike

Link button to User Defined Object in Grid

Hi,
I'm using SAP B1 8.81 with B1DE.
I have added a grid which is populated from a DataTable to a form.
One of the columns in the grid contains the DocEntry of a User Defined Object.
How can I display a link button on the grid ?
Regards,
Ben

Hello Ben,
You need to set the column object type.
Dim oGrid As SAPbouiCOM.Grid = oForm.Items.Item("MyGrid").Specific
oGrid.Columns.Item("DocEntry").Type = BoGridColumnType.gct_EditText
Dim oEditCol As SAPbouiCOM.EditTextColumn = oGrid.Columns.Item("DocEntry")
oEditCol.LinkedObjectType = "2" 'The SDK documentation says you should use the value 0, but in previous versions it didn't work, so I recommend you user a value other than -1 or 0
You then need to catch the et_MATRIX_LINK_PRESSED event and other your user form...
From the SDK Help File regarding the BoLinkedObjectType enum
lf_None -1 No target object
lf_UserDefinedObject 0 User-defined object
lf_GLAccounts 1 G/L account object
lf_BusinessPartner 2 Business Partner object
lf_Items 4 Item object
lf_SalesEmployee 53 Sales employee object

How to add linked button in grid?

Hi,
Does anyone know how to add linked button in a grid? I can't find it but i saw someone ask similar question but seems none of them works.
Thanks a lot!
P.S. For some reason, i can't use matrix because the data is from a SQL query.
Lan

Hi,
as far as I know it is not possible, since this adjustment is made for the whole column. I have created a grid and I open the shown document by double clicking the row header. In the grid I can see if it is sales or purchase and so I use a workaround by opening the specific system form (e.g. sales invoice) in find mode and search the document by document number (also shown in the grid).
Sample:
oSBOapp.ActivateMenuItem("2053"); //sales invoice
oForm = oSBOapp.Forms.ActiveForm;
oForm.Mode = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_FIND_MODE;
oEdit = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)oForm.Items.Item("8").Specific;
oEdit.Value = Convert.ToString(dNum);
oForm.Items.Item("1").Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular);
By the click event, you get the specific row number. Hope it helps...
Regards
Sebastian

Link Button In Grid or Matrix ?

Hello,
I'm trying to populate a grid with data from a SQL query, using a datatable datasource, but I don't know how to specify which fields are to have drill-down(link buttons). After looking at this thread :
Linked button in a Grid (SBO 2005)
I'm left wondering how the Business One Report Generator can generate a grid with link buttons attached to the appropriate fields, when it is only given a SQL query.
I'm thinking I might have to use a matrix, but how can i populate the matrix when if i don't know what the SQL query will be in advance?, also can I achieve the grouping using a matrix that the grid automatically does ?

Hello Welch,
Both Matrix and Grid can work with LinkButton. And regarding Grid, first of all, you need to define the gridcolumn type as gct_EditText, then in EditTextColumn Object, there is a property named LinkedObjectType, please set the property as in Matrix column.
' First define the column as EditText type
oCol = oGrid.Columns.Item("Col1")
oCol.LinkedObjectType = 4
Hope this helps,
Nick

How to add link button in Query generator

Hi,
I am trying to add link button in Query reports. While the query is for system table it automatically gives columns with link button but how to do this for user Tables.

Hi,
Even by standard, this is not possible only when you using UDO.
You can create your form with Matrix, and use FlushToDataSource Method to load large amount of data inside. Now you can program the linked button click (et_MATRIX_LINK_PRESSED) by columns.

STEP 3: Assign The Key Value To The form through your coding
STEP 4: Navigate to Key value through code/write logic to get retrive details for given Key value of scree

Placing Link button in Report

Hi All.
I am generating a report using query generator..In that i want to place a link button in a particular column...Whether its possible..

Hello,
Jing is correct.
Along with this you have to consider following things:
The Column should come from Base Table only. If the column is the union of one or two tables then link will not appear.
ex: Select 'OITM' IT, ItemCode,ItemName from OITM
Link will appear here
ex:
Select 'OITM' IT, ItemCode,ItemName from OITM
UNION ALL
Select 'RDR1' IT, ItemCode ,Dscription ItemName from RDR1
Link will not appear.

Sanjay

                                Dim oCol As SAPbouiCOM.GridColumn
                                oCol = Grid.Columns.Item(0)
                                oCol.LinkedObjectType = 2
Similar to that i want to create link button for my user defined screen that is my screen.I registered as UDO as "PI_UDO"
Grid.Columns.Item(0).Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoGridColumnType.gct_EditText
                                Dim oCol As SAPbouiCOM.GridColumn
                                oCol = Grid.Columns.Item(0)
                                oCol.LinkedObjectType = "PI_UDO"
If i give "PI_UDO" as my linked object it is not accepting.No error display also....
If i use none option for linked button,
Grid.Columns.Item(0).Type = SAPbouiCOM.BoGridColumnType.gct_EditText
                                Dim oCol As SAPbouiCOM.GridColumn
                                oCol = Grid.Columns.Item(0)
                                oCol.LinkedObjectType = -1
I cant able to view the link button......
Weather we can able to create link button for our screen???

Hi Frank,
I upgrade my add-on to SP01, there is an error when click Link button which in a UDT bound grid, the error shows 'System Message' with three option buttons, [Restart Add-on],[Log off the current company] and [Continue working without this Add-on], this error does not occur on SAP 2005 PL7,PL8, PL9 & PL10, but occurred on SP01 and SP01 PL03.
The grid Link button link to master like BP, G/L Accout and Item.
Hope there is a workaround way.
Thanks.

What version / PL was your Add-On compiled with before?
Was it done with 2005A SP00 PL?? ?
Anyway, I am happy to hear that it works now...
