UDO MasterData and Deails Data

Question

Hi,
I've a UDO linked with a custom form designed with Screen Painter. In order to add a new record I press CTRL+A keys so the Form's Mode is changed to fm_ADD_MODE.
Ok!
On the custom form I've a EDIT field where I should write manually an Item Code. But If I don't know that code, I would like to search it through an Items list (for example writing the * (asterisk) on that field I would like to show the form which allow me to look for the Item code).
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Piero,
If you want to display a list like in B1 then you have to create a UDO containing this list of records.
After that you only have to use the ChooseFromList object, new in the 2005 version.
Here you have a sample on how to use it:
' Add ChooseFromList to the form
oCFLCPuo = SB1_App.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_ChooseFromListCreationParams)
oCFLCPuo.ObjectType = "TTT_UDOMD" 'Code of your UDO containing the list
oCFLCPuo.UniqueID = "NM_UOCFL" 'String that you fix
oCFLuo = oForm.ChooseFromLists.Add(oCFLCPuo)
'Add your EditText to the form as usual   
oItem = oForm.Items.Add("EdTxtUO", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_EDIT)
oItem.Left = 50
oItem.Top = 50
oEdit = oItem.Specific
'Bind your EditText as you need (here UDS for example)
oEdit.DataBind.SetBound(True, "", "ET_UDS_UO")
'Link CFL to EditText
oEdit.ChooseFromListUID = "NM_UOCFL"
oEdit.ChooseFromListAlias = "Code"
Don't forget to listen the event et_CHOOSE_FROM_LIST and copy the value selected into the DataSource of your EditText:
oForm.DataSources.UserDataSources.Item("ET_UDS_UO").Value = eventCFL.SelectedObjects.GetValue(0, 0)
Hope it helps
