UI API URGENT: Click on cell in matrix doesn't work in SBO 2005

Question

Hi all,
I've detected very strange problem. We have developed some addons for SBO2004A in SDK2004. There we used CLICK function on matrix cell, where the whole form was freezed, f.e. Purchase Order:
oForm.Freeze True
Set oMatrix = oForm.Items("38").Specific
For i = 1 to oMatrix.RowCount
oMatrix.Columns("1").Cells(i).Specific.String = sItemCode
oMatrix.Columns("1").Cells(i+1).Click ct_Regular
oApplication.ActivateMenuItem ("1292")
Next i
oForm.Freeze False
If the form is freezed, the application in SBO2005 doesn't react on
oMatrix.Columns("1").Cells(i+1).Click ct_Regular
, although this worked in SBO2004 without any problems. The Click event is not filtered for this form and in Event_Filter the pVal.BeforeAction property is TRUE.
Then I found, that if form isn't freezed, the CLICK on matrix cell function works.
Is there any workaround, how to solve this problem without reprogramming a lot of code and to prevent flickering on form, when it is not freezed?
I work with SBO 2005A SP01 PL07.
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Libor.

Hi Frank,
I created message to SAP Support with this issue on Wednesday the 16th with priority high. The first solution from SAP Support was to disable freezing on forms, while they are processed. But for the performance reasons this is not possible. The reasons for clicking while freezed are relative simple and there are some of them:
1) In some system forms that are filled by user we need to append special items between other items already existing in form. The many of fields (price fields) for all items in matrix have to be recalculated. For this we use freezing on form, then we search for related item, simulate click on row, and call
Application.ActivateMenuItem ("1292")
which calls Add Row [Ctrl+I] system function, then in newly created row we append our data, the prices for related item will be recalculated atc.
2) we developed automatic calculations in documents, which uses VALIDATE event_type. That means if value in some field in matrix is changed, the values in other fields are recalculated. In some cases we needed to use CLICK too.
I believe, there is possibility how to replace this 'on CLICK based' functionality...but then we need to rebuid many of our projects.
Even I don't know, if this issue is bug in SBO2005 - UI API or it has some reason, but I suppose, this worked in all previous SBO SDK versions (since 6.5).
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Kind regards
Libor.
