[SBO 2005] Choose from list on User Table

Hi all,
I need an information from the developper that already tried the SDK of BO 2005.
Is it possible to create Choose from List on user tables ?
I looked at the WebEx, there is no restriction about it, but when I tried in the demo, I can't figure out how to do it.
Thanks for your help
Sébastien

Thank for your input Edward:
I do have the sample, but it uses a system table (OCRD, Object Type=2)
It seems that it works for system object or UDO, but not for simple user table. Am I right ?

Choose from List for UDT

I have made a UDT
and I want to create a choose From List of that table
I know how to create choose frm list for system tables
like making Business partner choose from list
but I'm not able to make choose frm list for UDT
please someone answer my question

HI Riya,
You can link a CFL to a User Defined Object but not a plain User Defined Table. A full list of options can be found in the UI help under BoLinkedObject Enumeration.

Choose From List From a UDT in SAP Business One 2005 A

Hi All
How to develop a Choose From List from a User Defined Table (not from System Tables) in SAP Business One 2005 A.
I need the Choose From List should display the records stored in the UDT.
Any Idea ?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards.
Asutosh.

Hi Asutosh,
You can add a CFL to a User Defined Object, not a simple User Defined Table.
In order to do it you only have to set the object type of the CFL to the code of your UDO.
Here you have a simple:
oCFLCPuo = SB1_App.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_ChooseFromListCreationParams)
oCFLCPuo.ObjectType = "MY_UDO_CODE"
oCFLCPuo.UniqueID = "UserObjectCFL"
oCFLuo = oForm.ChooseFromLists.Add(oCFLCPuo)
Hope it helps

If Choose from list function included after SBO 2004 patch 31?

Hi, there
I know Choose from list function valid in SBO 2005, but I don't know if it is included in SBO 2004, especially after SBO 2004 patch 31?
Thanks.

Hi Indika,
You are right - the Choose from list is only available from SBO 2005.

BP Choose From List became Blank, All users affected

Dear all:
I hope anyone had the similar problem before. Our BP list became blank and B1 has to be restarted from frozen state whenever any users select this function. All users are affected.
What can be the root cause of this?
Hope somebody could give solution soon.
Thanks in advance,
Gordon

Dear Gordon,
Please check the following :
1 ) whether there are lots of records for the Business Partners?
2) Whether in the form Settings some Grouping is being done which needs time to display.
Chances are for the second option. If you check by restore defaults for the Form Settings in Choose from List, it may work.

Choose From List used in UDO (B1 2004)

Hi,
in the presentation "Creating a UDO of document type.pps" (slide 53+55) provided with the SDK 2004 they use the Choose From List to select business partners and/or items in their UDO form when adding a new document. Does anyone know, how this has to be done? The sample, from the presentation is not provided in the sample codes.
Do I have to use an implementation DLL for my UDO to use this functionality?
My problem is, that it takes too long (about 5 times longer than with the system CFL) to get all items in my custom defined matrix.
thanks,
Markus

Hi Markus,
You cannot use the built-in CFL in version 2004. It is only exposed from version 2005. The only suggestion is to look at optimizing your matrix. All CFLs in the system uses DB Datasources which makes populating the grid faster than using User data sources.
Hope it helps,
Adele

Choose from list in Matrix

Hey All,
Has anyone been able to get the choose from list in a matrix text field working in SBO 2005 patch level 6? We have tried the tech demo and it works for new rows but not for existing rows. Also we have written our own code to set the matrix text box on the choose from list event and we get a general failure exception even though the value still gets set properly.
If anyone has this working please post so we can all know how to do this properly.

Hi there,
This "Choose from list" thing is new for me, there's a Choose from List example in the new techDemo but i don't understand the code.. too complicated for me.. Is there any simple code/sample for this?
Well i manage to trigger the choose from list .. but don't know how to put the selected value to the cell..

Problem in Choose from list.

Hi,
As I tried CFL for a user defined form, when I select an item from CFL and it is displaying in the relevant field. And when I save the data it is perfectly saving with the message of "Operation has been completed successfully". But the data is not saving in the field in which is the CFL is activating.
It would be appreciated, if any one can give the solution please.
The steps I' ve followed as,
1. In the screen painter I' ve added the choose from list thru' the collection folder.
2. Then the choose from list id is attached and give the allias in the item's specific property.
3. Then I' ve written code in the load form function as follows.
            Oform.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("EditDS", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT)
            txtaccode.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "EditDS")
4. In the item event
        If pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_CHOOSE_FROM_LIST Then
            Dim oCFLEvento As SAPbouiCOM.IChooseFromListEvent
            oCFLEvento = pVal
            Dim sCFL_ID As String
            sCFL_ID = oCFLEvento.ChooseFromListUID
            Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
            oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item(FormUID)
            Dim oCFL As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList
            oCFL = oForm.ChooseFromLists.Item(sCFL_ID)
            If oCFLEvento.BeforeAction = False Then
                Dim oDataTable As SAPbouiCOM.DataTable
                oDataTable = oCFLEvento.SelectedObjects
                Dim val As String
                Dim val1 As String
                Dim val2 As String
                Dim val3 As String
                Try
                    Try
                        val = oDataTable.GetValue(0, 0)
                        val1 = oDataTable.GetValue(1, 0)
                        If (pVal.ItemUID = "txtaccode") Then
                            oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("EditDS").ValueEx = val
                            txtaccode.Value = val
                            oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("EditDS1").ValueEx = val1
                        End If
                    Catch ex As Exception
                        Exit Sub 'For Exception raised for Cancel Button
                    End Try
                Catch ex As Exception
                    SBO_Application.MessageBox(ex.Message)
                End Try
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

Checks if the property TableName in the field is pointed to the table to store de data.

Change data in existing "Choose from list" matrix

Hi,
in UI GUI->order form . When add a new order, hit "TAB" to select BP from existing list. I want to use my own sql to populate the BP list (currently the GUI defaults to return all customers).
Is there a way? I mean if I just want to change data in the matrix and let B1 continue to make the "Choose from list" form (form "10001") with my own new customer list. Set BubbleEvent = true will just re-read all cards after I query my result.
any help is appriciated!

Hello,
I came across the same issue with the Items Choose from List on the Sales Order screen. It is possible to load your own Choose from List form and populate the matrix using recordset objects and userdatasources. The same logic could be applied to the BP Choose from List form. The following code displays the user form and matrix items - separate code is needed to handle the selection process on this form. There maybe a faster way of acheiving this using UDTs etc but it seems to work ok.
'When user presses Tab key in Item No. column.
If pVal.EventType = et_KEY_DOWN Then
If pVal.ItemUID = "38" And pVal.ColUID = "1" And _
pVal.Before_Action = True And pVal.CharPressed = vbKeyTab Then
'Load new Choose from List form.
'This is actually an exported and edited version of the SBO form.
LoadFromXML sIIS_ITEMLIST_XML
'Populate matrix with items returned from SQL query.
'Use recordset, arrays, userdatasources.
Set oRecordSet = oCmp.GetBusinessObject(BoRecordset)
sSql = "Select OITM.ItemCode, OITM.ItemName, OITM.OnHand FROM OITM " & _
 "Where Upper(Left(OITM.ItemCode,2)) = 'B1'"
oRecordSet.DoQuery sSql
nRows = oRecordSet.RecordCount
If nRows <> 0 Then
'Array declarations.
Dim ItemCode(), ItemName(), OnHand()
ReDim ItemCode(nRows - 1)
ReDim ItemName(nRows - 1)
ReDim OnHand(nRows - 1)
'Add userdatasources to form.
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add "ItemCode", dt_LONG_TEXT, 20
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add "ItemName", dt_LONG_TEXT, 100
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add "OnHand", dt_LONG_NUMBER
i = 0
'Populate arrays from recordset.
Do While oRecordSet.EOF <> True
 ItemCode(i) = oRecordSet.Fields.Item(0).Value
 ItemName(i) = oRecordSet.Fields.Item(1).Value
 OnHand(i) = oRecordSet.Fields.Item(2).Value
 oRecordSet.MoveNext
 i = i + 1
Loop
'Bind data fields to form items.
Set oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("7").Specific
Set oColumn = oMatrix.Columns.Item("ItemCode")
oColumn.DataBind.SetBound True, "", "ItemCode"
Set oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("7").Specific
Set oColumn = oMatrix.Columns.Item("ItemName")
oColumn.DataBind.SetBound True, "", "ItemName"
Set oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("7").Specific
Set oColumn = oMatrix.Columns.Item("OnHand")
oColumn.DataBind.SetBound True, "", "OnHand"
'Get data from datasources.
Dim oUItemCode As SAPbouiCOM.UserDataSource
Dim oUItemName As SAPbouiCOM.UserDataSource
Dim oUOnHand As SAPbouiCOM.UserDataSource
Set oUItemCode = oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("ItemCode")
Set oUItemName = oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("ItemName")
Set oUOnHand = oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("OnHand")
oMatrix.Clear
'For each returned record in recordset then
'add row to matrix and populate it from
'userdatasource.
For i = 1 To nRows
 oMatrix.AddRow
 oUItemCode.Value = ItemCode(i - 1)
 oUItemName.Value = ItemName(i - 1)
 oUOnHand.Value = OnHand(i - 1)
 oMatrix.SetLineData
Next i
End If
'Show form. This also sets focus to edittext field.
oForm.Visible = True
'Don't display standard SBO item list form.
BubbleEvent = False
End If
End If

How to filter Choose from list object rows?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to show Choose from list window using SBO 2005 PL07, Actually I want to show the Active Account of G/L Account, I set the CFL object to one column as following:
oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = SAPbouiCOM.BoLinkedObject.lf_GLAccounts
oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL"
oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
Who knows how to set Choose From list object only show Active Account and do not show Title Account.
Thanks for your help!
Kathy

Hi kathy
I have not tried it on the gl accounts. But basicaly you need to add conditions to filter it. The following is an example that you would of used for business partners but only customers.
Dim oCFLs As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCollection
            Dim oCons As SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
            Dim oCon As SAPbouiCOM.Condition
            oCFLs = oForm.ChooseFromLists
            Dim oCFL As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList
            Dim oCFLCreationParams As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromListCreationParams
            oCFLCreationParams = SBO_Application.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_ChooseFromListCreationParams)
            ' Adding 2 CFL, one for the button and one for the edit text.
            oCFLCreationParams.MultiSelection = False
            oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = "2"
            oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL1"
            oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
            ' Adding Conditions to CFL1
            oCons = oCFL.GetConditions()
            oCon = oCons.Add()
            oCon.Alias = "CardType"
            oCon.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL
            oCon.CondVal = "C"
            oCFL.SetConditions(oCons)
            oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL2"
            oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams)
The above also compensates for the tab.
Hope it helps

UDO-Choose From List

Hi;
I would appreciate if someone could tell me how to associate an UDO to a choose from list.
I have looked over the SDK example, but this is for standar SAP objects and I need to associate the choose from list to a customer object.
Best regards

The choose from list (CFL) can be triggered from your edittext - there is some sample code in the DI API help file that shows this. Have a look for 'Adding a choose from list object' in the help file. Remember that where they set ObjectType="2", you should use the name of your UDO.
As can also be seen in the help file, CFL objects allow you to add conditions to determine what rows are displayed. In the example it shows selecting only where CardType = 'C'. The columns displayed can be tailored by the user at runtime, where they can select from any columns that are on your main UDO table.
There are a few limitations. At present CFL's do not allow you to directly specify a SQL query. Only data from the single table related to the 'ObjectType' is displayed. If you want a more complex query that displays data from multiple tables when you press tab, a formatted search may be more powerful. If you search the forums you should find one of my previous posts (probably about a year ago) where I showed how to link a formatted search to the tab keypress and have it behave in a very similar manner to a CFL.

Is it possible to populate a Choose From List manually?

Hi
I've got a requirement in a SDK screen that needs to be written to have a Choose From List contained on a Matrix column that should allow the selection of Item Masters as well as the selection of specific data contained within a User Defined Table. Whenever using ChooseFromLists I've always only ever used them to link to a object such as Items, Sales Order etc. and not a combination, or even to a User Defined Table. Is this even possible.
If not I guess the only way around it would be to create a form mimicking the ChooseFromList which I could populate with what ever I like?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steven,
Yes, Its possible which behaves as system CFL.
Design the form like cfl having grid, choose button, cancel button and edittext of find. When you tab on edittext on form open the CFL form and after load form fill the grid by Datatable using sql query. Write code for select grid line on click of grid. Write the code on choose button which retrive value from grid.
Thanks,
Mahesh

Removing Duplicates from a choose from list

Hi All,
I have a choose from list of obj 73 )Catalog Numbers (Table OSCN)
I also added conditions in the CFL that it only shows the Substitute for the CardType = 'S' (Supllier) Business Partners.
But I want to remove all the duplicate Substitutes from the CFL so that only distinct Catalog Numbers shows in the CFL.
        // Adding 2 CFL, one for the button and one for the edit text.
                oCFLCreationParams.MultiSelection = false;
                oCFLCreationParams.ObjectType = "73";
                oCFLCreationParams.UniqueID = "CFL1";
                oCFL = oCFLs.Add(oCFLCreationParams);
                //Adding Conditions to CFL1
                oCons = oCFL.GetConditions();
                oCon = oCons.Add();
                oCon.Alias = "Substitute";
                SAPbobsCOM.Recordset oSuppliers = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset);
                oSuppliers.DoQuery("Select Distinct t1.Substitute From OSCN t1 Join OCRD t2 on t1.CardCode = t2.CardCode Where t2.CardType = 'S' Group By t1.Substitute");
                oCon.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL;
                while (!oSuppliers.EoF)
                    oCon.CondVal = oSuppliers.Fields.Item(0).Value.ToString();
                    oCon.Relationship = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionRelationship.cr_OR;
                    oCon = oCons.Add();
                    oCon.Alias = "Substitute";
                    oCon.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_EQUAL;
                    oSuppliers.MoveNext();
                oCFL.SetConditions(oCons);
Please advise....
Kind Regards,
Brenden Draper

Hi Brenden,
what you are trying to archieve won't work. Simply because CFL is getting all row data from OSCN and ItemCode or CardCode can differ for a specific substitute.
For example.
ItemCode,CardCode,Substitute
ItemA,BP1,sub1
ItemA,BP2,sub1
Would be 2 resultlines both with sub1 as substitute.
SQL equivalent :
Select Distinct t0.* from oscn t0 inner join OCRD t1 on t0.CardCode = t1.CardCode where t1.CardType = 'S'
My advise would be to open a simple form with a grid and datatable bound.
Some lines of coding and you get all you need.
regards,
Maik

Choose from list - data display with condition

Hi,
I 've developed a form using screen painter, I ' ve attached a choose from list to fill GRPo Number. In the choose from list the GRPo no. should not display again which once I have selected and saved.
Let me have a good solution please and it would be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkatesan G.

Hi suresh,
where did you put this code?....In the choose_from_list event handler?..I've tried a similar solution, before reading your post, but it doesn't work because if i dynamically set the condition for the choose from list i got an empty table.
i've tried to put my code when beforeaction=true and i have this kind of problem. The difference is that i need to set the filter starting with the value i've entered on the field connected to the choose from list. I put code here, so it's more clear
If (pVal.Before_Action = True) And (pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_CHOOSE_FROM_LIST) Then
                    Dim oCFL As SAPbouiCOM.ChooseFromList
                    Dim oCons As SAPbouiCOM.Conditions
                    Dim oCon As SAPbouiCOM.Condition
                    Dim sItemCode As String
                    oEditText = oMatrix.Columns.Item("V_ItemCode").Cells.Item(pVal.Row).Specific
                    sItemCode = oEditText.Value.ToString
                    oCFL = oForm.ChooseFromLists.Item("CFL_Item")
                    oCons = oCFL.GetConditions()
                    oCon = oCons.Add()
                    oCon.Alias = "ItemCode"
                    oCon.Operation = SAPbouiCOM.BoConditionOperation.co_START
                    oCon.CondVal = sItemCode
                    oCFL.SetConditions(oCons)
                End If
My situation is that i type something in V_ItemCode column and after that i press the tab key to open the choose from list.
Would be ok if i get the SAP standard beahviour too, that doesn't open the choose from list, but fills the field with the first code starting with what you type.
Thanks in advance
