SBO - SDK Screen Painter

hi
i wanna know if anybody help me to know how work add - on Screen painter,
there is a manual of how to use?
Thanks

Yes - this is what SP is about. You design your screen
from SP and save it as an XML file. At this point you
load it in B1 from your addon using the LoadBatchAction.
You just need to change the FormID before loading it, this
is an easy task: if you want some sample you can see the
samples here in SDN or check the code of B1DE here on SDN
too.
Once it is loaded you can use all the UI SDK methods and
properties to handle events and items in this form.

You need to use the LoadBatchActions method of the Application object to load .SRF files.

Is it me or is screen painter a bit naff in sbo 2004 ?

Hi
Screen painter seems fine for normal text and labels but if you use many other objects it doesn't seem to work properly.
Check box's don't work, it seems to loose datasources, it doesn't seem to handle pains well. I seem to have to edit the xml file and all is well but as soon as you add more fields those changes are lost.
Am I missing something or are most people starting in screen painter and editing xml files ?
I think screen painter is better in 2005 but the eval copy I have loaded doesn't seem to want to load any addons
Any comments warmly received

Hi Nick,
Why does SAP try to develop a full GUI development tool, instead of using avaiable tools?
I have tested the BO DE toolkit, and it is really good. Why doesn´t SAP go on with this toolkit and integrate the GUI development tool in VS.Net?
I don´t think it would be too difficult to create a subset of controls that just creates the SBO XML form when generating the forms. This way, developers should develop once, use twice (inside SBO as an AddOn, or outside SBO, as 3rd party application using the DI.).
This will really improve the development time of SBO AddOns, which is nowadays not too good (IMHO). BO DE toolkit is just the start for a really good development platform. But is just the start.
Any comment is wellcome.

Screen Painter and SDK

Hi,
I've developed a form in the screen painter. I want to add the business logic from SDK. Is it possible...it should be right?
I have a very complex form with around 20-25 edit boxes and one grid. The issues
I have designed the form in the screen painter and am trying to access the edit boxes from SDK. the code snippets is like
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.GetFormByTypeAndCount("60004", 0)
When i try to access it says form not found. sbo_appl.forms.activeform worked, but when i used
oEdit = oForm.Items.Item("9").Specific
in the next line, it says 9 is not a valid feild.

Yes - this is what SP is about. You design your screen
from SP and save it as an XML file. At this point you

SBO 2005 SP1 screen painter

Hey All,
Does anyone know how I can get my hands on a copy of the SP1 screen painter that has support for datatables, choose from list etc..? I have the SBO2005 screen painter now but it doesn't have any of those features. I know SP1 is not officially released yet but I was hoping to find a copy of the new screen painter to test out over the next few months.
Thanks

Curtis,
The only method to receive SP1 for 2005A is to nominate a customer that you have that would be willing to upgrade to SP1 that you have done development for. This needs to then be approved by SAP. There is a very limited number of these SP1 2005A releases with SAP approval. This starts in the March 2006 timeframe although you would want to nominate a customer now.
Otherwise 2005A SP1 is supposed to be released in Q2 barring any last minute issues.
HTH,
Eddy

Coding in form created in screen painter

I have created a form in screen painter.How can I do coding in this form.I have added a save button in the form.How can I fire the click event on this button.The file created has extension srf and it can not be opened in asp.net.

Hi Dilip,
Although the file has a srf file extension it is actually an XML file. You can use this file to create an instance of your form through code. In the UI API there is a Application object. This object has a method called LoadBatchActions which takes one parameter which is your srf file (ie the path and filename). Calling this method will create a form in the active UI based on your srf file. You can then create an instance of the Form object in the UI API and use this to manipulate your form through code.
I also recommend you look at the SDK learning material here on the SDN and also look at the samples that come with the SDK.
Kind Regards,
Owen
P.S. Please note that you've posted your question in the application forum for SAP Business One. This forum is for discussions on the application functionality of SBO and not the SDK. Instead, please post queries about screen painter and other development questions here:

Setting Folder Pane in Screen Painter

Hi All,
I have a question about setting a value of pane - folder's property. When I set this property in Screen Painter and choose form preview form's pane level changes, but when I save this form in xml file and load in my add on I have to add code that changes pane level after clicking on folder. Also SAPbouiCOM doesn't contain such property like Pane. What is this property for? Why it works in SP and doesn't when load from xml? Is this just for Screen Painter?
Regards
Szymon

Form.PaneLevel is a property for form and it changes form panelevel.
I think that comparable property for for Folder.Pane (in Screen Painter) would be val off and val on.
The most important thing for me was to be sure that I have to handle changing of panelevel by myself. I thought that maybe this property wasn't handle by SAP SDK correctly.
Regards
Szymon

[Help]Screen Painter

Hi experts,
Lately I'm using PL07 and now I uninstalled my SAP Client and installed PL04 after that, I'm having a problem with Screen Painter. Please check the image below. Help me about this.

hi hikaru,
Symptom
Add-on fails to upgrade on the client when there is a new add-on version available on the server in the common DB.
SAP Business One displays an error message:
"Add-on <Name of add-on>: Add-on installation failed because another version is already installed. Please ensure that the version number is higher than the version previously installed."
Add-on status is then set to pending.
Cause
Consulting.
This issue occurs when both of the following conditions are met:
There is a version of the add-on available on the server in the SARI table of the common DB that is newer than the one on the client.
The server name or IP address registered in the AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file on the client for this add-on is different than the name or IP address registered with the license server for the SAP Business One database server.
For example, this issue can occur after upgrading to SAP Business One 8.8 and "(local)" is listed as the server name in the AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file. But according to new security policies, "(local)" is no longer a valid server name and the server name registered with the license server will have changed when upgrading to release 8.8.
The following would occur in such a case:
The SAP Business One 2007 client connects to the (local) server.
The client registers an add-on from the server.
The server is upgraded to release 8.8, and is registered with the license server with an IP address or server name. The client upgrades to release 8.8, and continues to work with the same server. The local AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo file is unchanged by the upgrade.
The add-on is upgraded on the server.
At the next logon, the client checks the version of the add-on on the server and finds that it has been upgraded. The client attempts to upgrade the add-on using the information in the AddOnsLocalRegistration file. But the upgrade fails because the server name in the file is incorrect.
Solution
(1) Open "AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo" file
(2) Locate the "Common" node under the "AddOn" node and update the "Name" Attribute to the DB Server machine name which is currently used.
(3) Repeat step(2) to update the "Name" Attribute for all AddOns.
(4) Lanuch the SAP Business One and AddOn should upgrade as usual.
Other terms
SAP Business One client, AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo, add-on upgrade, 8.8 add-on upgrade fails

Fidel

Option Button Databinding in Screen Painter

What is the correct way to specify Databinding in the Screen Painter for Option Buttons? I assume that the first button is specified differently than the others, so I will need to know how the settings for the second option button differ from the first button.
Also, how is the Groupwith property handled with the Screen Painter?

Hi Bob,
You need to create a UserData source and bind it to the option buttons you want to link together. Try to do it with screen painter but if it does not work you can go to the generated xml file and modify it by hand.
The groupwith property is not handled by the ScreenPainter, you must do it in the xml file.
You have a sample code in the UI API SDK Help.
Hope it helps
Trinidad.
