Screen painter form

is possible to use a screen painter form in the wizard that create user defined object?
and then replace the new form in the user menu?
regards

Vasco,
If I understand what you are asking ... the answer is no. The forms that is generated when registering a UDO is part of the UDO wizard as you have stated. There is not a way to interject a form created by the Screen Painter.
Sorry ...

Loading screen painter form via a menu event.

Hi,
In my application, I am trying to get my screen painter form (.srf) to display through a menu event. The thing is when I click on the menu the first time it loads okay but when I close it and try to open it by clicking it again nothing happens. I am doing it as below.
Anyone have any ideas?
private void SBO_Application_MenuEvent(ref SAPbouiCOM.MenuEvent pVal, out bool BubbleEvent)
            BubbleEvent = true;
            try
                if ((pVal.MenuUID == "vdetails") & (pVal.BeforeAction == false))
                    Form_1();
            catch (Exception ex)
                SBO_Application.MessageBox(ex.Message, 1, "Ok", "", "");
private void Form_1()
            string strTmp = "vclMgt.srf";
            LoadFromXML(ref strTmp);
            oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("frmVMGT");
private void LoadFromXML(ref string FileName)
            System.Xml.XmlDocument oXmlDoc = null;
            oXmlDoc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
            string sPath = null;
            sPath = System.IO.Directory.GetParent(System.IO.Directory.GetParent(Application.StartupPath).ToString()).ToString();
            oXmlDoc.Load(sPath + @"\" + FileName);
            string strXML = oXmlDoc.InnerXml.ToString();
            SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(ref strXML);

Hi Binita,
Thank you for your suggestion but it hasnt worked, the form doesnt display and no errors appear.
This is how i've done it in C#
private void SBO_Application_MenuEvent(ref SAPbouiCOM.MenuEvent pVal, out bool BubbleEvent)
            BubbleEvent = true;
            try
                if ((pVal.MenuUID == "vdetails") & (pVal.BeforeAction == false))
                    foreach (SAPbouiCOM.Form oForm in SBO_Application.Forms)
                        if (oForm.UniqueID == "frmVMGT")
                            found = true;
                            MessageBox.Show("Found");
                    if (found == true)
                        SBO_Application.Forms.Item("frmVMGT").Select();
                    else
                        LoadFromXML("vclMgt.xml");
            catch (Exception ex)
                SBO_Application.MessageBox(ex.Message, 1, "Ok", "", "");
Where 'found' is global.
I saw a similar issue someone else had but it wasnt resolved.
Any more ideas?

I already did all this and once run it wasn't working at all so I don't know if your last sentence above is made in Screen Painter also but if not, this was probably the missing piece for the whole thing to work. Never read this anywhere not even in Screen painter documentation which is so poor actually.
Well after all, I did everything by code and it seems to work ok. I will make myself a favor ad add a nice single method that do it all and save it in my library. I will even come here and give to everyone this method so it's easier for other people having a hard time with that.
Thank you for the information

Is it possible to open a form created with screen painter more than once?

I have created a form with the screen painter. In the screen painter the form is assigned a FormUID. Probably because this is done, it is impossible to open the form more than once??
Thanks,
Kind regards

Hi J.
The answer is yes You just have to give your form a unique id.
1) Give your form in screen painter a name like BTWO_DYNAMIC_UID (just plain text).
2) Make sure your FormType and appformnumber have a unique number (i.e. 2000060001). You can do this in the xml source.
3) By loading your document replace the BTWO_DYNAMIC_UID with an unique id. I have a counter that's a member of my class and increase that number to get a unique id (BTWO_F_1, BTWO_F_2 etc)
I have added a code sample, SBOApplication is my SAP application object and mFormNumber is a member (integer) of my class.
Succes d'r mee, en als 't nie lukt hoor ik het wel... ;)
Code (C#):
// New xml document
XmlDocument oXmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
private Form LoadUniqueForm(string AMyFile)
// Define your path to
sPath = @"Forms" + AMyFile;
// Load the form
oXmlDoc.Load(sPath);
// Replace the string with an unique id
mFormNumber++;
string sXML = oXmlDoc.InnerXml.Replace("BTWO_DYNAMIC_UID", "BTWO_F_" + mFormNumber.ToString());
// load the XML file in SAP
SBOApplication.LoadBatchActions(ref sXML);
// Return the form
return SBOApplication.Forms.Item("BTWO_F_" + mFormNumber.ToString());

How to increase formUID to a form created with screen painter

Hi,
I've got a problem with my form. I created a form with screen painter but i can't succeed to increase my UID form.
For example, when i open my first form, the UID is always at FP_0.
My script:
private string FormUID = null;
public FP_Form(int NumInstance_)
 this.NumInstance = NumInstance_;
this.FormUID = "FP" + NumInstance.ToString();
 load();
 oDBDataSource = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add(DBDataSourceTable);
 SBO_Application.ItemEvent += new SAPbouiCOM._IApplicationEvents_ItemEventEventHandler(SBO_Application_ItemEvent);
private void SBO_Application_ItemEvent(string _FormUID, ref SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent pVal, out bool BubbleEvent)
 BubbleEvent = true;
 try
if (_FormUID == this.FormUID) //here "_FormUID" is increased but "this.FormUID" is still = FP_0
 switch (pVal.EventType)// selon le type d'action executée
 case SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_LOAD:
 if (pVal.BeforeAction == true)
 SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox List_reseau = (SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox)oForm.Items.Item("5").Specific;
 List_reseau.ValidValues.Add("1", "test");
 break;

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:

Screen Painter and existing forms

Hi all,
Is it possible to save one of the existing forms, for example, the item master form to an xml file that can be manipulated in the screen painter? If it is possible, how would I do it?
TIA,
Steve

Hey Ram,
You will have to handle the click on the choose from list button (not sure of the item ID, use the debug information and mouse over to find it). You will also have to handle the key down tab event (CHAR = 9) and open your form as well.
To stop business one from handling these events you will have to do it on the before and set bubblevent = false

System form loadable in Screen Painter ?

Hello,
is it possible, in some way to load one of the system form in screen painter?
How?
Thank you

I would like to know which are the values possible to insert to be sure that are not used by other system forms.
Must appformnumber and FormType have same value?
In Screen Painter there is only FormType and not appformnumber attribute and when I save they assume same value.
Which relation is there between this FormType and number of form that I see inside Sap Business One System Information when I run it?
Thank you very much
