Linked Button - Loading from XML

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with the linked button when loading it from XML,

I have three folders in my form, All the folders have the linked button and choose button .

The controls in the second and third folder disappear when it is loaded from XML but for the first folder everything displays fine.

When i directly create the form everything works fine only when I load it from XML is not displaying the controls in folder2 & 3 . below is my code

oItem = oForm.Items.Add("lblInAPGL", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_STATIC)

Is it a know bug with folders?, can anyone please help me out.

Mina,

this sounds to me like a pane problem. When the user clicks on a folder item, make sure to switch to the right pane. Then your controls will show.

When loading a form via xml, all you get is the visuals. Any behaviour has to be implemented afterwards. This includes switching the panes.

Have a look at the PaneComboBox object, if you are not already using it.

Thanks morrien ,

But it is switching to the right pane and even the labels, lines are shown, only the textboxes, choose buttons and linked button are not displaying, when I comment the linked button everything is displaying perfectly or else when I comment the linkto property of linked button everything is displaying perfectly.

This problems occurs only while loading through XML.

If you have any other thought please reply.

thanks

Mina
