System Form Manipulation under Condition

Question

Dear All,
I want to modify a System Form like (Sales Order) in a specific way (eg add folder), when I trigger a user specific Item Menu (eg Order Requisition).
If I use _ItemEvent... (pVal.FormType = 142) everytime  the System form is loaded it will change, but I want this happen ONLY WHEN IS TRIGGERED from Specific Item Menu.
I tried the following code but no luck.
Private Sub SBO_Application_MenuEvent(ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.MenuEvent, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles SBO_Application.MenuEvent
        If pVal.BeforeAction = False Then
            Select Case pVal.MenuUID
                Case "SM_PurReq"
                    DrawPurReqForm()
            End Select
        End If
    End Sub
========
Sub DrawPurReqForm()
      SBO_Application.ActivateMenuItem("2305") 'to get Sales Order form
        Dim oItem As SAPbouiCOM.Item
        Dim f As SAPbouiCOM.Form
        f = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("142")
        oItem = f.Items.Item("138")
        oItem.Visible = False
End Sub
Thanks in Advance,
Vangelis

Hi Vangelis,
I think this would work:
1) Create a global boolean variable. Set its value to false by default.
2) Add code to the load event of the sales order form that will add your item if the global flag is true. The code should set the global flag to false after the item is added.
3) Add code to the menu event that checks for your menu activation and then sets the global flag to true and activates the sales order menu.
This will mean that the code in the sales order form load event will only be triggered if the sales order form is opened via your menu. If the user opens the sales order form by any other means (eg drag-and-relate, menu or link) then your item will not be added.
Kind Regards,
