'Link' button in Logic 7 Matrix Editor

Can anybody help me with a niggle I have in Logic. Whenever I select Matrix Editor and want to drop into an existing midi recording I do so and a new editor window pops up obscuring the existing midi notes I want drop into. This is due to the Window Link function on the left hand menu and is only resolved once the default yellow icon has been toggled to either pink or grey. As I don't see the need to open a new window on drop-in I want to set the default Link icon to pink or grey so as not to have to toggle this button every single time I open the editor window but can't find a way to do this.....is there ?
Hope someone out there has had a similar experience and knows how to change this. Thanks

Screensets have always been a bit of a grey area for me.
There ya go!
Seriously, this is such a fundamental concept, you'll wonder how you managed without it before.
Open a new song (ultimately we'll need to save our settings as our autoload so every song starts with the same settings for for now we'll just explore functionality).
You'll be on screenset 1, as evidenced by the "1" displayed to the right of the menus.
Ok - press "2" on your keyboard - the windows will change to whatever screenset 2 is set up to be. Close them all, and open a matrix editor. Position it full screen, and turn link on (yellow).
Now press "1" to go back to screenset 1.
Now, what happens is, when you want to edit a region, simply select it in the arrange, and press "2" - the screenset will change to the matrix editor, with the selected sequence displayed in it. When you are done editing, simply press "1" to go back to your arrange, and select a different region for editing, press "2" to flip back to the matrix editor.
Now, it gets much more flexible than this - for example, on my "editing" screenset I have a matrix editor, event list, floating event list, marker window, transport, a second small arrange for directly selecting regions to edit and some other stuff. In contents link mode, as soon as you select a region in the arrange the editor windows will immediately display the contents of that region.
Try it out - it's a 1000% better solution than continually opening, resizing and closing windows all the time - yuk!

Link button not working in matrix

Hai To All,
          I created one form with only one matrix. On that i have 5 columns. In first column i have linkbutton link to user defined screen. What its not working.
My code is here
If pVal.ItemUID = "matrix" And pVal.ColUID = "Docno" Then
                        Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
                        Dim doc As String
                        oMatrix = Frm.Items.Item(pVal.ItemUID).Specific
                        doc = Trim(oMatrix.Columns.Item("Docno").Cells.Item(pVal.Row).Specific.Value)
                        Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
                        Dim blnBool As Boolean = False

What does the chain/link button in Logic instruments do?

I'm a new user of Apple MacBook Pro and MainStage v2.2.2 for music ministry work. Found the Logic Software Instruments and some useful documentation about the interface and programming for each, but no mention thus far of the two lines of controls that MainStage adds to the top of each.
First line is blue chain/link button - no rollover help, no F1 help, no right click context menu/help, no nothing. The pulldown items on that line and the stuff on line 2 is fairly obvious. What does that little chain link button do? Every one of the software instruments seems to have the button present.
NotLiable

Okay. I tried your experiment. Double click on ES P button in channel strip and up pops the ES P software instrument. Click on link button -- on is blue, I see -- and double click on EXS24 button in another channel strip. EXS24 window pops up, with the link button still blue/on, replacing the ES P window. Turn off link button and open another software instrument and it joins the EXS24 on the screen.
I now know what the button does, and that was my entire reason for posting, but your first sentence now has me curious. You wrote, "The Link function is not obvious in MS, but essential in Logic." It wasn't obvious because it's not documented, that I can find, in MS help, MS User Guide or Logic Pro 9 Instrument documentation. No rollover tip. Zip, squat, nada. When you contrast "obvious" with "essential," do you mean the feature is not relevant in MS? I'm not looking for a Logic tutorial, but I did find the feature mentioned in that product's manual. I just want to know what, if anything, I need to do with this in MS.

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

can anybody help me out....
Manish

Hi Manish,
Please refer the following sample code:
Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix = oItem.Specific
        Dim oColumns As SAPbouiCOM.Columns = oMatrix.Columns
        Dim oColumn As SAPbouiCOM.Column = oColumns.Add("DBS_Col1", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_LINKED_BUTTON)
        oColumn.TitleObject.Caption = "EmpId"
        Dim oLink As SAPbouiCOM.LinkedButton = oColumn.ExtendedObject
        oLink.LinkedObject = SAPbouiCOM.BoLinkedObject.lf_lf_Employee
By the way, SDK Online Help is a good knowledge base, either searching in the forum help.

How to use a link button in a matrix

Hi, I'm trying to create a matrix with a column that uses a link button to call a Sales order.. how can i do it? i'm new in SBO!

Hi,
You can do it in 2 differents ways:
1. With the ScreenPainter. Set the column property "Type" with the value "et_LINK_BUTTON" and the property "LinkObjectType" with the value of the Business Object (for Sales Orders, the value is "17").
2. Directly on the XML file. You can see and example below.
<column uid="col" type="116" title="Parte" description="" visible="1" AffectsFormMode="0" width="55" disp_desc="0" editable="1" right_just="0" val_on="" val_off="" backcolor="-1" forecolor="-1" text_style="0" font_size="-1">
<databind databound="1" table="" alias="col"/>
<ExtendedObject linkedObject="17" LinkedObjectType="17"/>*
</column>
The most important things are the properties "type" (116 for linked button) and "linkedObject" and "LinkedObjectType" (17 for Sales Orders).
I hope this can help you.

Link button in BOM matrix

Hi,
This link button is able to discriminate between BOMs and nonBOMs. We would like to open a third form - ours - when the BOM line item has a certain characteristic. Is there a way to intercept the click on the link button before it works?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
You can intercept the click on the linked button before it is opened. It is an Item_Pressed event.
There is a tool called EventLogger that can help you in cases like this one. You can download it from main SDN B1 page -> SDK Tools menu in the right side of the page. With this tool you can see the events that are fired by B1 when you do a specific action in B1 app.
Hope it helps

Simple question - multiple midi tracks in matrix editor

call me stupid but i am finding the matrix editor window quirky as!
I want to bring up multiple midi tracks simultaneously in the matrix editor but for some reason most of the time it will only show one, then sometimes mysteriously multiple appear - woo hoo! I have tried clicking and unclicking every combination of link window button to no avail. As I understand it one should have the purple link button selected (or no link, but not the yellow one) and then shift select or marquee the multiple midi tracks for them to show simultaneously....why does this not work it is so basic??!! all the tracks are different audio instruments on different channels so what's the problem?
thanks for the help

You have to read the manual really carefully.
The trick is double clicking: when you double-click in the background of matrix editor, it will show all tracks, when you double-click a single note, you will only see the notes of the track it belongs to.
There is a menu item that says something like "Show only selected regions". If you select that and double click in the matrix editor's background, you won't see all regions, but only the ones you selected.

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

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

Option + Drag notes in Matrix editor problem

I cant say when this started but at some point holding option while dragging a note to copy it stopped working as expected. Basically I want to copy a note in the matrix editor and I want it to go where I drag it (am I asking too much?). Right now as soon as I drop the note in the desired position it jumps forward several beats. Did I do something that changed the way the option key works? If I just drag the note without holding option the note goes where I want it. But as soon as I option + drag. I get this wackyness!! its hugely frustrating! Thanks in advance for any help.

Well I have a workaround now but am still confused. I discovered that if I click the little button "featuring a square graphic" in the upper left corner of my matrix window (manual says its called the "Up One Display Level button—or
UDL button"), it fixes the problem... for that matrix edit window only. As soon as I close it and reopen it (by double clicking on a midi region) it goes back into crazy freak **** mode. Something else I noticed is that when I reopen the matrix editor window the little screen read out area (that displays the notes etc under Edit/Functions/View) says "sel 1" right above the notes etc. It says this when its in crazy freak **** mode. When I click the UDL button it changes from "sel 1" to "1/AudioInst 1" which is the instrument for the midi Im working on. So how do I get crazy freak **** mode to stop messing up my matrix editor windows? Its great to have a workaround but its a pain in the butt to have to remember to push this button ( that I never needed to push before) so I can properly option+drag a midi note. I tried reading the manual about this button but I just dont get what its for (other than turning off freak **** mode). And I forgot to mention my logic version before: Logic version 7.2.1 (959.30) Thanks again in advance if you can help me:)

Problem with Matrix Editor

I have recently been unable to open the matrix editor when trying to edit midi notes. I did a search to see if anyone else experienced this, I found some clues but I am still having problems. I am pretty sure it is my system and not the midi files I am getting off the net. I tried opening a track that I had edited before and nothing. The windows menu highlights when I press "command 6" but nothing happens. All of the other windows open except the matrix.
First I made sure the "links" button was greyed out. I can only get it to turn purple and grey. I thought it used to turn yellow. Is there some other setting I have mistakenly switch off. I am really frustrated and need a fresh perspective. Thanks for you time. Phil

Not quite sure what happened but for some reason I ran the setup as AU assistants again just for the heck of it. Now the window open with no problem or hesitation. I just love computers ( when they do what I want them to)!

Add linked button to a editText field

Hello everybody,
i'm trying to add a linked button to a text field in the header of a JournalEntry. So far i've been able to add it on one of the columns of a document matrix.
Can anybody help me, please?
Ciao
Marco

You need to create a new link button object, set the "linkto" property to point to the UID of the edittext containing the data, and set linkedobject to point to the target object (eg. business partners, items ...)
Set sboItem = sboItems.Add("LINK", it_LINKED_BUTTON)
sboItem.LinkTo = "10" 'UID of separate edittext containing the data.
Set sboLink = sboItem.Specific
sboLink.LinkedObject = lf_BusinessPartner

Link button does not link to the right record.

Hi,
I have created a matrix, and I have made one of the column type as link button. The matrix is loaded with Sales Quotation record, and the DocNo column is a link button. For example, when i pressed the link button of record with DocNo = 10, but the Sales Quotation form pop out is record with DocNo = 8, anyone encountered this problem??? anyone have any solutions on this???
I have tried this with other marketing document object, such as Sales Order and Invoice, the same problem occured... huh, one more thing, if i did not set the document numbering series, the code is working fine, once i set the document numbering series, then this problem will happen ... hope to hear from you guys ...thanks in advanced!!!

Hi,
I suppose the reason of this behavior is that the link button relates using the DocEntry value, and not the DocNum fields value.
What we usually do is to have 2 columns, on the first the DocEntry, and in the second one the DocNum. Then we set the DocEntry Column´s width to 20, and then only the orange arrow is shown.
This way, you get the behavior and appearance you need.
Hope that helps.
