UIAPI indicate selected row in Matrix

Posted on Jun 08, 2004 at 02:55 PM 50 Views

Hi all,

here is another question with no answer to it yet.

We are still working with version 6.2.

As far as I know there are (at least) two known problems with the matrix object

a) there is no "selected row" property returning a row object - this can be dealt with by using the pval.row property and adressing the different row columns directly

b) in 6.2 the selection of a row can not indicated by a change of color

Regarding the color change:

If a user clicks on a row in 6.2, is there any way to mark the row as selected? Not necessarily a colorchange, any workaround will do.

I have tested the following:

-add another column of type checkbox

-on Click event uncheck the checkbox in previous row and check the one in the current row

This looks promising, but still does not work 100%.

Any other propositions for a workaround?

TIA Lutz Morrien

    Just to let people know:

    I did manage to use checkboxes in a matrix in order to indicate a selected row in a version 6.20 matrix. It is kind of clumsy as a workaround and does not look too SAP, but it does work. If anyone needs this workaround, I can post some code.

      Hi,

      the BlockEvents method is self made. (I simply forgot to take it out I guess).

      It exists in the topmost class which is connected to SAP via UIApi. If I set blockEvents to true, this class blocks off all events the class gets from SAP until I finish an action. It just does not hand them down to other classes.

      If I perform an action, I get a number of events until the action is complete. If I know that my application does not need to handle these events, I block all events at top level until the action has been completed.

      It is not a SAP built function.

      I know about the flaws in 6.2 and I really do not get along too well with it. However, our customers are not upgrading yet and therefore I am stuck with 6.2 ;(

      The fact that one cannot run a 6.2 and 6.5 client on the same machine does not help either.
