In Smartforms,how to disable a window?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In Smartforms I have 2 windows, eachone with different data, how to disable a window (ie) invisible at runtime?

Data are displayed from DB. So, when there is a dataflow window need to be displayed - Text & data in that window need to be displayed or else it must be invisible.

Please, help me with a solution for this query.

Thanks,

ie.. data = 'ok'.

Hi Kavitha,

You can achieve it using the conditions tab of window. Do as,

1. Declare a variable w_display (say) and give the initial value as 'Y'.

2. In the code, if there is no data for that window, then set this flag to 'N'.

else if there is data, then set this flag to 'Y'.

3. In Conditions tab of Window, give w_diaplay = 'Y'

Hi,

Create differt text elements for each line of ur data.

And in the conditions check id data is presenr then only it should display...

like...ur printing Material Number : &v_matnr&

in conditions declare...v_matnr <> initial...

like this...

or if want to completely make a particular window invisible then

before that window itself check whether data that need to be displayed on that window is available or not,

if data is available the set an indicator like flag = 'X' ,

and on the window (conditions) set condition if flag = 'X'.

Hi,

Create a node: Condition and check whether the data is there in the window or not.

If yes then display the window.

If no then display the second if you have an alternative condition like this.

problem: when there is data available from DB then you have to display a window else no window..

so in the initialisation (tab of global definitions) you read and when there is data you flag a switch true else the switch is false.

the window itself you go to the conditions tab and there you give the condition: flag equals true. the window will then only be activated when the flag is true.
