Screen Painter - Delete a Matrix Column

Hi,
I am trying out Screen Painter. Really nice tool!!!
I added 1 column to much in my Matrix, how do I delete the column?
And how does the Swap button work? (Swap = To trade one thing for another.)
Thank you,
Rune

Rune,
I don't know if there's an easier way, but I open the XML code (the srf file), find the begining and end of the specific column info and remove it. then Save and the column is gone. You can do this in notepad or any editor. You just have to be careful to remove only the right code, but it's all together in one long section.
Of course make a backup of the srf file first Hope this helps.

Combo box in matrix column does not bind

Dear Sirs,
I have a master data UDO with three child tables, and I generated an xml form file using the B1DE form ganerator for this UDO.
After that I used screen painter to set some columns of the matrix bindend to the child tables as combo box.
In the load data event of the form I populate each combo box cell with the valid values I want.
Now, when I add (or update) data , the combo box let me choose the valid values correctly (and I can see the choosen value in the cell) , but then data are not saved in the DB, while the data entered in edit text columns are correclty saved.
Anyone have an idea of the problem?
Thank you for the help

previously i changed to 1,2,3,4
how can i do it..
screen painter can i change it..
Any information plz update me..

Hi Srinivas,
Can you do one thing for me ? Open your form in screen painter, set the columns as you want to display. Now change the unique id for the matrix. Then try to open it through code or see in preview mode.
Hope it helps.

Big problems with Matrix and Screen Painter

Hi all !!!
I have a terrible time with my matrix in screen painter. I looked over all the samples in SDK and tried different things. The closest i got to make it work is when my form loads, i can click in each on my cells on the first row of the matrix but when i enter data if i click on another cell i lose the data. My form is fairly simple. I got 4 fields as regular data and a matrix with 8 columns. Can someone help me with this !!! Maybe one of you have an complete example for entering manually data in cells and then save it. I'm using a UDT (not UDO) table and using .net ...
Thanks in advance

Hi Alain
It's not necaserry to delete the matrix. Leave it there. Then access your matrix with the following code
Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
Dim oColumn As SAPbouiCOM.Column
Dim oColumns As SAPbouiCOM.Columns
oMatrix = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("FormID").Items.Item("MatrixID").Specific
oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
oMatrix.Clear()
then create datasource and bind
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Add("DataID", SAPbouiCOM.BoDataType.dt_SHORT_TEXT, 20)
oColumn = oColumns.Item("ColID")
oColumn.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "DataID")
Hope this helps

Column order in screen painter

Hello all,
After creating a form in screen painter the column are not showing in the order they are shown in screen painter.
I checked the .srf file and the order of the columns is correct, but when SAP B1 opens the form the matrix has the order of the columns all mixed up.
Any ideias?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Your question belongs to SDK forum. You may search that forum first. If there is no similar question with answer, post it there.

Add linkbutton to Matrix (Screen Painter)

Hello ,
You can have a look a this thread Re: Screen Painter. How to...
this is a way to do it a second way is to specify in screen painter the properties of your colum
-Type = linkedobject
-LinkedobjectType = 20
linked object type takes the BoObjectTypes Enumeration search for it in the sdk
It will give you something like this in your xml file
<column uid="C17" type="116" title="Provision Num" description="" visible="1" AffectsFormMode="1" width="102" disp_desc="0" editable="0" right_just="0" val_on="Y" val_off="N" backcolor="-1" forecolor="-1" text_style="0" font_size="-1">
<databind databound="1" table="" alias="DSProvNum"/>
<ExtendedObject linkedObject="30" LinkedObjectType="30"/>
</column>

Update column in screen painter

i have column in screen painter and i write data when i make enter it's dissapear why???

Did you have corresponding data object defined in program?
I guess this is where the issue comes from. Simply system can't exchange data b/w screen and program.
Try declaring one, it should help then.
Also, what do you mean by column ? If it is a table control you need to use definition of this table, the simplest is usually by
TABLES name_of_table.
If this is a single field taken as reference from DDIC you should simply define it like
DATA name_of_table-name_of_column TYPE name_of_table-name_of_column.

Adding field/column in screen painter SE51

We are trying to add field BSEG-VBUND for transaction code FSB1 fast entry screen (program SAPMF05A screen 8503). The new column will be after CoCd. However as the image below shows, TradPart is only on the first row but is needed on all rows as the other fields are.
We tried to use grouping to include BSEG-VBUND for all rows and in screen layout editor it seems to be correct.
But, when the syntax is checked the error states BSEG-VBUND is not assigned to a loop and that it must appear in "PBO" (PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT) and "PAI" (PROCESS AFTER INPUT).
We added BSEG-VBUND to PAI but then received the error that this is not assigned to a loop.
As a functional - not technical - consultant, I am unfamiliar with how to correct this. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Screen Painter and Matrix

In screen painter I am unable to attach the folder with the respective matrix. Please give the complete method to attach the above mentioned.

Hi Manish,
I am not too sure what you want to know, but if you want a matrix to be displayed only on a specific folder you should do the following. I am going to show you the code, but you can do parts of it in screenpainter as well. In screen painter you cannot display it like you would at runtime.
On your matrix you would set the PaneFrom and PaneTo properties. To only set it visible on the first folder:
        Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item
        Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
        oForm = oApplication.Forms.ActiveForm
        oItem = oForm.Items.Item("My_Matrix")
        oItem.FromPane = 1
        oItem.ToPane = 1
To add the folder you'll have to remember to set the ValOn and ValOff properties:
        Dim oFolder As SAPbouiCOM.Folder
        oFolder = oForm.Items.Item("My_Folder").Specific
        oFolder.Caption = "MyFolder"
        oFolder.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "UDS_1")
        oFolder.ValOff = 0
        oFolder.ValOn = 1
To invoke the folder's click event you have to code it manually:
Private Sub SBO_Application_ItemEvent(ByVal FormUID As String, ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles oApplication.ItemEvent
        If pVal.FormTypeEx = "My_Form" Then
            If pVal.BeforeAction = True Then
                If pVal.ItemUID = "My_Folder" Then
                    If pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED Then
                        Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
                        oForm = oApplication.Forms.ActiveForm
                        oForm.PaneLevel = 1
                    End If
                End If
            End If
        End If
    End Sub
Hope it helps,

Screen painter, matrix and DataBound problem...

Hi
Using SAP BO 6.7 I have made a form with a matrix.
I have a usertable named @t_fingrp with a field named U_Nr.
In the matrix-->Columns properties I set Databound to "true", set tablename to "@t_fingrp" and set the alias to "U_Nr".
I then save the form as xml.
Then I load it in code using something like this:
XmlDocument XMLDoc1 = new XmlDocument();
XMLDoc1.Load(sXMLFile);
xml = XMLDoc1.InnerXml;
SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(ref xmlString);
This will make the form appear in SAP BO with the matrix and the columns but NO data.
What am I doing wrong??
TIA
Jan

The data doesn't appear automatically when you bind a matrix to a data source. You have to populate the data source from the database, and then add each row to the matrix manually.
Below is a sample, hope it helps.
    'Populate the datasource
    Set sboDS = sboForm.DataSources.DBDataSources("OUSR")
    sboDS.Query
    'Add data to the matrix
    For lngCount = 0 To sboDS.Size - 1
        sboDS.Offset = lngCount
        sboMatrix.AddRow
    Next lngCount

Selecting Cell from Choosefromlist - Screen Painter

Hi ...
I've used screen painter for my form. In the preview mode, everything seems to be ok, I have my column matrix editable with choosefromlist. But when I run the add-on, I can't even select a cell. I've also tried creating the matrix through coding but still, I can't select a cell. Anyone knows what could be the problem?
Thanks!
Loren

Hi Loren Flores,
Actually you are not adding the row to your matrix, thats why you are not able to select a cell.
Add the row to your matrix on Form Load event.
and also on the lost focus of the column, add a new row in next line.
on form Load---
oMatrix.AddRow(1, 1);
on lost focus--
if (pVal.ItemUID == "Mtrx" && pVal.ColUID == "COL1")
                    if (pVal.Row >= oMatrix.RowCount)
                        if (pVal.Row == 1)
                            oEditText = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)oMatrix.Columns.Item("COL1").Cells.Item(pVal.Row).Specific;
                            string sr = oEditText.String;
                            if (oEditText.String != "")
                                oMatrix.AddRow(1, oMatrix.RowCount);
                            if (oMatrix.RowCount > 2)
                                return;
                        else
                            oEditText = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)oMatrix.Columns.Item("COL1").Cells.Item(pVal.Row).Specific;
                            string sr = oEditText.String;
                            if (oEditText.String != "")
                                oMatrix.AddRow(1, pVal.Row);

Screen Painter. How to...

How to use the Matrix with a complex query and beeing able to make some columns with a LinkButton to the document.
Which control should I use. A Matrix, or a Grid
Which one let me get Data from a complex query and by the same time beeing able to set some columns as Link to a document
To date I've been able to use the DBDataSource.Add("BUT IT NEEDS A TABLE") not a query and I face the challenge
of adding all the conditions with the dbDataSource.Query(CONDITIONS) which doesn't work since I have to get
data from other tables....

Awesome. Thank you.
Just a last question. When I set the Query in the Screen Painter. Why do I have to provide it again by code ?
I did create the Data Table in Screen Painter and called it dtORDR but in code
but I have to do a ExecuteQuery and provide the query again ?
Since I get it the way you explained, why do I have to ExecuteQuery with the same query again ?
I also get a Table not found when running
MyDataTable is called dtORDR made in the ScreenPainter with a simple SELECT
and by code I do like you said, and the binding are on dtORDR but I get "Table not found..."
Here's my actual code :
string Query = "SELECT ORDR.DocEntry AS OrderEntry, ORDR.DocNum AS OrderNum, ORDR.NumAtCard, ORDR.DocDueDate, ORDR.DocTotal, " +
               "ORDR.CardCode AS CustomerCode, ORDR.CardName AS CustomerName, OCRD.FatherCard, OCRD.CreditLine " +
               "FROM ORDR INNER JOIN " +
               "OCRD ON ORDR.CardCode = OCRD.CardCode";
oApprobationsMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("mOrders").Specific as SAPbouiCOM.Matrix;
SAPbouiCOM.DataTable DBDataTable = oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Item("dtORDR");
DBDataTable.ExecuteQuery(Query);
// Settings the columns...
oApprobationsMatrix.Columns.Item("Indicator").Width = 20;
oApprobationsMatrix.Columns.Item("cDocNum").DataBind.SetBound(true, "dtORDR", "OrderNum");
oApprobationsMatrix.Columns.Item("cDocNum").Editable = false;
oApprobationsMatrix.Columns.Item("cDocNum").Width = 107;
oApprobationsMatrix.Columns.Item("cDocEntry").DataBind.SetBound(true, "dtORDR", "OrderEntry");
oApprobationsMatrix.Columns.Item("cDocEntry").Visible = false;
I also tried to remove the table from the Screen Painter and use the code instead like this
oApprobationsMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("mOrders").Specific as SAPbouiCOM.Matrix;
SAPbouiCOM.DataTable DBDataTable = oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Add("dtORDR");
DBDataTable.ExecuteQuery(Query);
and I stiil get "Table Not Found"
but the table seems to be there all right.
