Validating Event Not Firing

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a small problem in my Add-on.

Scenario:

A form with a Matrix that has a linkButtom in a readonly Column

Problem:

if i'm editing a field in the matrix and press the link button no et_VALIDATE event is created before the et_MATRIX_LINK_PRESSED event

Result:

The data is not written to da DataSource

Possible Solution:

Check where the focus is and do the DataWrite myself since the link press does not change the Focus

Question:

howto find the element in focus?

Thanks for your time in advance

Are u using Xml in your program? Then u knw need to wrie in matrix_link_pressed.

Yes, I want to show a new form on the click of the link button.

I'm using a DataLayer(my code) that is responsible for the database access. So i have to update the DataLayer before the new form is displayed.

I'm updating the DataLayer on the lostFocus event but no event is triggered before the Matrix_Link_Pressed.

The DataLayer can is similer to a XML Document.

Thanks for your reply

Then give the link through Xml

<column uid="itemid" type="116" title="Item ID" description="" visible="1" AffectsFormMode="1" width="102" disp_desc="0" editable="1" right_just="0" val_on="Y" val_off="N" backcolor="-1" forecolor="-1" text_style="0" font_size="-1" ChooseFromListUID="ItemCFL" ChooseFromListAlias="ItemCode">

<databind databound="1" table="@PUR_OA_DETAIL" alias="U_itemid" />

<ExtendedObject linkedObject="4" LinkedObjectType="4" />

</column>

Here u specific the object type where u want to connect.

Then u write in ItemEvent of Choose From List

If oCFL.UniqueID = "ItemCFL" Then

Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix

oMatrix = OA_Frm.Items.Item(pVal.ItemUID).Specific

DETAIL_oDBds.SetValue("U_itemid", DETAIL_oDBds.Offset, oDT.GetValue(0, 0))

DETAIL_oDBds.SetValue("U_itemdesc", DETAIL_oDBds.Offset, oDT.GetValue(1, 0))

If it helps give me reward points,

Good tip, But no can do

Since I'm using and external database,

I don't have a Linked object to link to.

in my XML form i use only UserDataSources to then use the dataLayer and update the Database.

No issues Pedro,

In ItemEvent instead of using DBdatasource u use UserDataSource

Hi again,

The Problem is that the Focused Cell is not losing the focus before the link is pressed so i'm not updatating the database whit the new Values.

hi Pedro..

sorry my fault..

anohter idea..what about make a click through code in another cell so a validating event should be fired!

Matthias

just do this in the et_MATRIX_LINK_PRESSED before you run the other code..should work!
