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

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)

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:

UI: Event Handling of forms created with the Screen Painter

Hi,
I created a form with the Screen Painter and saved it as XML document. After that, I loaded this form with the following code:
Dim oXMLdoc As MSXML2.DOMDocument
oXMLdoc = New MSXML2.DOMDocument
oXMLdoc.load("C:\form1.xml")
SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(oXMLdoc.xml)
Then the loaded form appears in the SBO application with all added items.
Now, I would like to know how I could handle an ITEM_PRESSED event for a button of this imported form.
It would be great if someone could help me with this problem and post some example code.
Regards,
Dennis

Dennis,
you have to create a function that will handle all the event receive from B1
 Private Sub SBO_Application_ItemEvent(ByVal FormUID As String, ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles SBO_Application.ItemEvent
 If (pVal.FormUid = "YourUIDForm") Then
 If ((pVal.itemUID = "YourItemUID") And _
 (pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_ITEM_PRESSED) And _
 (pVal.Before_Action = False)) Then
 ' Here write the coe you need....
 End If
 End If
 End Sub
Off course, you need your variable SBO_Appliation declared as follow :
Private WithEvents SBO_Application As SAPbouiCOM.Application

Hi
First uninstall Screen Painter then open the file C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOnsLocalRegistration.sbo
in notepad remove the lines related to screen painter (If there is any)
<AddOn Exe="BK_ScreenPainter.exe" Installer="ScreenPainterInstaller.exe" InstallerMD5="384B6B18CA81A26CD8CC2A160BBBFC0A" Name="Screen Painter" Path="C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\AddOns\BK\Screen Painter" SelfUpgrd="false" Space="BK" UID="BK_Screen Painter" UnInstEstTime="180" UnInstParams="/zu201Duninstallu201D /x" UnInstaler="ScreenPainterInstaller.exe" UnInstallerMD5="384B6B18CA81A26CD8CC2A160BBBFC0A" Ver="880229"><Common ID="1" Name="B1DEVSRV"/></AddOn>
save it and try again to install the screen painter.
If that doesn't work go to this C:\Program Files\InstallShield Installation Information directory and find find the screen painter installer and remove it.
Hope this will help you

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
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.

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?
