F4 Search help in VC 7.1 CE

Former Member

Hello,

Is there an example for enabling search help for input fields in VC7.1CE. When I right click an input field I do not get the Add Value Help like previous versions of VC. I have not found a way to launch the Value Help Wizard. Does something in addition needed to be installed?

Regards

Matt

Hey Mathew,

right click your input field change the control type to a combo box or a drop down list, hence right click on it and select entry list.

Choose the suitable entry list Static or dynamic and supply the value help source.

Hi Ahmed,

Thank you for the reply. That is what I am currently doing. I am more interested in an F4 type help that can use the standard search helps that exist in the R/3. Also a solution that might popup a search help window. Previous VC blogs discuss help functionality like this.

Regards

Matt

Mathew,

i dont believe that kind of functionality is yet available @ VC 7.1 however you can do a workaround

add a melting group to your form

add an input field along with a button with "?" as a label in the melting goup

the button should trigger a popup iview where you will have a form linked to your BAPI / web service for searching.

then you can move the selection to your old form upon confirmation.
