UDF Form et_KEY_DOWN event.

Hi all,
Has anyone had problems with the above event? I cannot seem to trap it on a UDF form, it works fine on a standard form. Using SBO 6.5 SP1 P7. For example:
- This code works fine.
Set oFilter = oFilters.Add(et_CLICK)
oFilter.Add -139     'Sales Order UDF form.
If pVal.FormType = -139 And pVal.EventType = et_CLICK Then
        oApp.MessageBox "hello"
End If
- This doesn't work.
Set oFilter = oFilters.Add(et_KEY_DOWN)
oFilter.Add -139     'Sales Order UDF form.
If pVal.FormType = -139 And pVal.EventType = et_KEY_DOWN Then
        oApp.MessageBox "hello"
End If
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Andrew.

Hi,
SBO catches the KEY_DOWN event only if one of controls of the form has focus

Hi Yoav,
If Not SBO_Application.Menus.item("6913").Checked Then
SBO_Application.SendKeys "^+U"
End If
6913 is user defined field menu item id.
you can see user defined form is opened everytime you open a certain form with that code samples in form_load event.
hope this can help you.

How to know if a UDF form is opened else then using a TRY CATCH ?

I'm looking for any way to find out if the UDF form is visible
else then trying to open it in a try catch and if it's not sending a key. This if very ugly, slow and not really my kind.
I tried to iterate through all the forms in SBO_Application.Forms but it's not there. All I see is the main form
I just need to make sure the UDF form is visible when Inventory form is loaded so I can put a value in one of the UDF
If there's a better way I'm buying it

Hi Marc,
Rather than putting your data in the UDF in the UDF side form, you can add a control to the main form (during the load event of the form) and bind this to the UDF through the DBDataSource that is already available on the main form. This means that you don't need to worry about whether the UDF form is open or not because you can always read or write to your UDF data from the main form.
Alternatively, the UDF form TypeEx property is always the same as the main form but with a minus sign in front. Therefore, if you know the TypeEx and FormTypeCount of the main form then you can use the GetForm method of the Application object to get the UDF form.
oForm = _sboApp.Forms.GetForm("-" + oMainForm.TypeEx, oMainForm.TypeCount);
You'd still need a try/catch around this and if it raises an error then activate the 6913 menu to open the UDF form.
Kind Regards,
Owen

UDF form flickering problem

Hi All,
We have observed a strange behaviour in SAP UDF , ie; whenever the control goes to any of the UDF field the main form and the UDF form are getting refreshed many times. or in more acurate terms, the FORM_ACTIVATE and FORM_DEACTIVATE events are triggerred at least 30 -40 times on both the forms.
The problem is that , the same is very much visible if the UDF is a edit text field and not a combo field and there is a formatted search obn that field . If the user selects the values from the formatted search screen ( from a list of valus) , after the value is selected the field flicker many times...
Is there any way to get aroud this problem . Our clients are not accepting this behaviour of SAP.
Regards,

No. Even if no SDK is running also the same problem happens. Is it the normal SAP behavour.? Can this be changed?

Updating UDFs in the UDF form of a sales order

I got the UDF form of a corresponding main sales order form.
I am trying to set a value for one of the UDFs there, but I get a 'General Failure' exception (Simply trying to set the edittext's UDFItem.Value or UDFItem.String properties)
I know I have the right form and item, since I can change the item's BackColor.
The DBDataSource.GetValue works, so I can read the existing values.
The DBDataSource.SetValue doesn't work, but I'm used to it
Any ideas?

Avi,
We cant use Setvalue directly in Predefined for u better to use
Frm.items.item("").Specific.Value= ""

How to run recordset SQL query in FORM DATA event

How can I run recordset SQL query in FORM DATA event upon clicking on Add button in the document?

Hi Slamet,
When you receive a form data event you have a class containing inside it a ObjectKeys xml info regarding the object added/modified,...
With the objects keys you can then use the DI API method called GetByKeys to obtain the DI Object.
There is some information about it in the SDK Help file, mainly in the "FormDataEvent" class definition:
The event provides the unique ID (BusinessObjectInfo.ObjectKey) of the modified business object. You can use the value of this property as an input parameter in the DI API DataBrowser.GetByKeys method to get a DI object.
Pay attention you don't have this information in the Before=True event of the Add as it is not yet in the database.
Hope it helps

Invalid Item in Form Load Event

Hello,
i have a problem to access items in Form Load Event. If I use a form created with screen painter and I want to set some values to items (EditText, Grid, ComboBox) in FormLoad event. I get a message "invalid item". Same if I use the event FormActivate. Is it a bug? And if yes, when do you fix it?
Best regards,
Alexander

Hi Alex,
I haven't try the code, but I think there are just one things to try.
I think, is convenient to use the FormUID params to retrive the form instead the use of Forms.GetForm() method.
Please try this one and let us know the result.
Private Sub moSBOApplication_ItemEvent( _
                        ByVal FormUID As String, _
                        ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent, _
                        ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles sboApplication.ItemEvent
    Try
        If Not (pVal.FormTypeEx = "frmPlan") Then Exit Sub
        Select Case pVal.EventType
            Case BoEventTypes.et_FORM_LOAD
                If pVal.BeforeAction = True Then Exit Sub
                oForm = sboApplication.Forms.Item(FormUID) ' try this one
                oForm.EnableMenu("1288", True)
                oForm.EnableMenu("1289", True)
                oForm.EnableMenu("1290", True)
                oForm.EnableMenu("1291", True)
                initGridAD(oForm)
            Case BoEventTypes.et_FORM_ACTIVATE
                If pVal.BeforeAction = True Then Exit Sub
                oForm = sboApplication.Forms.Item(FormUID) ' try this one
                initGridAD(oForm)
        End Select
    Catch ex As Exception
        sboApplication.SetStatusBarMessage(ex.ToString(), BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, True)
    End Try
End Sub
Private Sub initGridAD(ByVal oForm As Form)
    Dim oGrid As Grid = oForm.Items.Item("gridAD").Specific ' *here I'm gettig an error*
    Dim oDataTable As SAPbouiCOM.DataTable = oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Item("DTgridAD")
    If not oDataTable.Rows.Count = 0 Then Exit Function
    oGrid.DataTable.ExecuteQuery("Select '' as 'Choose', SlpCode as Code, SlpName as 'Name' From OSLP")
    oGrid.Columns.Item("Choose").Type = BoGridColumnType.gct_CheckBox
End Sub
Is this code hosted in a module or in a class?
If is in a class, how many instancens of class exist when you get the error?
Hope this helps.

You can catch the form close event like this
If ((pVal.FormType = 139 And (pVal.EventType = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_CLOSE)) And (pVal.Before_Action = True)) Then
      Try
               SBO_Application.SetStatusBarMessage(pVal.EventType.ToString())
      Catch ex As Exception
                SBO_Application.SetStatusBarMessage(ex.Message)

Display UDF Form?

Hi all,
Do you know where in the database is the information about whether or not to display the UDF form for a given standard form and a given user?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Cyril,
I think it is stored in the OUSR table, in the UserPrefs field. But the field is binary and you can´t get understandable data from there.
Sorry,
Ibai Peñ

Udf form reference

hello everybody
i wanted to get a reference of the used defined field form which is associated with the active system form
can someone suggest me what the best way to do it???

I wrap a try block around the attempt to retrieve the udf form & if that
fails I activate the UDF form.
try
Form UFForm = B1Connections.theAppl.Forms.GetForm("-" + form.TypeEx, form.TypeCount);
catch
B1App.ActivateMenuItem("6913") 'display udf screen
Form UFForm = B1Connections.theAppl.Forms.GetForm("-" + form.TypeEx, form.TypeCount);
end try
I think I mixed C# & VB code in there, but I'm sure you get the idea.
