I know it is possible to inactivate functions codes in ABAP.
In my reports I can code it:
DATA pf_exclude TYPE TABLE OF repid.
APPEND 'MYFUNC' TO pf_exclude.
SET PF-STATUS 'LIST' EXCLUDING pf_exclude.
But there is also a way to do it in the GUI status, but how?
In the status maintenance (SE41) is a button to set the function to (in)active:
This button is only visible in change mode.

Dear all I need your help on the below desperately.
I have created an ALV from SALV and I have copied a GUI Status SALV_STANDARD from a standard program. Firstly I added 2 buttons the POSTNEW & POSTDIFF and after a day I added the SELECT button.
Depending on the selection of the user I want to enable or disable the buttons according to the business requirements.
I have this code in a procedure:
r_alv type reference CL_SALV_TABLE.
if status_name is not initial and report_name is not initial.
set pf-status status_name.
r_alv->set_screen_status(
pfstatus = status_name
report = report_name
set_functions = r_alv->c_functions_all ).
endif.
data: lit_functions_list type salv_t_ui_func,
lwa_functions_list like line of lit_functions_list.
r_functions = r_alv->get_functions( ). "Get Toolbar functions
lit_functions_list = r_functions->get_functions( ).
if i_button_name is not initial.
** Now hide the BUTTON
loop at lit_functions_list into lwa_functions_list.
if lwa_functions_list-r_function->get_name( ) = i_button_name.
lwa_functions_list-r_function->set_visible( i_button_visable ).
endif.
endloop.
endif.
The variables status_name, report_name, i_button_name and i_button_visable are parameters of the procedure and I think that their names show what they are carrying.
The internal table lit_functions_list has 60 records and the last 2 have data for the first 2 buttons and this is the reason that I can enable/disable them.
But there is no record with my 3rd button SELECT. Instead there is a record with the button MYFUNCTION which I have already deleted.
Can someone tell me what to do in order to have the 3rd button available in the lit_functions_list?
Can someone tell me why this itab has so many garbages?
Thanks in advance

Even I had the same problem. After I ran the report BALVBUFDEL it solved the issue.
Newly created buttons now coming inside the function list ..
lit_functions_list = r_functions->get_functions( ).
For Adding 3rd button in the lit_functions_list, You can use below code.
r_functions->set_function( NAME = 'BUT3' BOOLEAN = 'X' ).
you can also use add_function to add new button.
try.
r_functions->add_function(
name = 'BUT3'
icon = l_icon
text = l_text
tooltip = l_text
position = if_salv_c_function_position=>right_of_salv_functions ).
catch cx_salv_existing cx_salv_wrong_call.
endtry.
itab does not have garbage. It contains all the data related to status like menu bar, application tool bar and function keys.
Finally I found the answer at least to my problem. Let me describe again what I did:
I copy the GUI Status from the standard program SALV_DEMO_TABLE_FUNCTIONS to my program through Tcode SE41. I added 2 buttons POSTNEW & POSTDIF. Until now all working perfect and I can Enable/Disable these 2 buttons.
Next day the business asked me to add a button SELECT with which the user can make editable the corresponding SELECT column of the itab in order to choose which record to be posted. And here started my problem where the itab with the functions didn't contain the last created button SELECT. What I did was, I created a button through the design process of the GUI Status but I could not get it through the below code:
lit_functions_list = r_functions->get_functions( ).
With your answers I found other problems in my code but still I could not get the new button in the above itab.
Finally, yesterday evening I remembered, what someone told me in the past. In old systems (like oursSAP ECC 6.0 R701 SP007) sometimes the ALV buffer stuck and we have to reset it. So I run the program BALVBUFDEL and vuala the button SELECT appeared in the itab and I can now Enable or Disable.
So keep in mind that sometimes the ALV buffer needs a reset.
Thanks all for your help.

Automation Anywhere. How do I pick a value from dropdown. I tried 'set text' from a copied variable. Its very slow, and also doesnt seem to be the right away. I would want to pick a value from the dropdown. Any idea how this can be done ? Thank you
You can use Object Cloning for this.
The process will be like:
Select object cloning and select the window you want to clone.
Capture the object to which you want to select from the drop-down.
Object cloning intelligence will automatically treat this as Drop down, and an extra option like "select Item by text" will appear in the action list. Select that option.
It will only suggest the all the drop down options. Select the required option you want.
Press Save.
That's it.
Thanks
You can do it using 'Manage Windows Controls' AA Command ( in this command make sure you check available checkbox for Capture a control of specific type [select - Drop Down] in next text box) and capture the value from pick list.
I have a list report that uses the event block AT LINE SELECTION (and HIDE).
AT LINE-SELECTION.
WRITE: 'Testline'.
* and some more things
When I double click on a line in the main list, AT LINE SELECTION is processed, and the main list is replaced with a list that consists of the text 'Testline'.
When I klick on the green back button, the main list is shown again.
Everything works as espected.
Now to my question:
Is there some way how the report can be notified when the user clicks on the green back button to go from the detail list to the main list?
The obvious solution AT USER-COMMAND is not called.
This is the event where I want to SUBMIT the same report again to update the list.
(I know I could do this with an ALV report, but is this possible with a simple list report?)
When you check the documentation you will find the following information:
The function codes PICK and PF## ("##" stands for 01 to 24) do not cause the event AT USER-COMMAND, but the events AT LINE-SELECTION and AT PF##.
All function codes that start with the character "%" are interpreted as system functions and do not cause the event AT USER-COMMAND. The system functions for lists are listed in the following table 1.
The function codes in the following table 2, likewise, do not cause the event AT USER-COMMAND, but are handled by the list processor.
table 2 includes BACK (that's the default code for the green arrow).
What you can do: Write your own status.
REPORT ytest.
DATA pf_exclude TYPE TABLE OF sy-ucomm WITH HEADER LINE.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SET PF-STATUS 'LIST'. "<--- here
WRITE: / 'Hello World'.
AT LINE-SELECTION.
WRITE: 'Testline'.
* and some more things
AT USER-COMMAND.
BREAK-POINT.
CASE sy-ucomm.
WHEN 'MYBACK'.
ENDCASE.
Now you can define your own status:
Don't forget to define PICK - or the double click will not work.
Define your own back-function.
In my Access database, I have tables with the naming convention of "t_customers" or "t_orders". I have a combo box which lets me pick from these options. For a better look, I want to have the options in the combo box without the "t_", so one of the options is just "customers". Then in VBA, I can access the combo box's value of "customers" and then pass that as a parameter to my function which will export the contents of the associated table "t_customers" to an excel file.
Is this possible to do? I can think of using a select case statement and for each combo box value I manually assign the related table value, but there has to be a better way. Is there some sort of short cut that does this in Access using a relationship or similar feature without coding? Or is there a simpler way to code this?
EDIT:
I am also trying to get the value of the current item selected in my combo box named "cbTable". I have no macros attached to the combo box. I have a button that when pressed it runs a macro which calls my VBA function. In the function I have this code:
Dim cbValue As String
cbValue = cbTable.Value
MsgBox (cbValue)
I get this error:
Runtime Error '424'
Object Required
The error is on the
cbValue = cbTable.Value
line. What is wrong with this code and how do I get the current value of the combo box?
Thanks in advance.
You can set your RowSource for your combobox to
SELECT MSysObjects.Name, Replace(MSysObjects.Name,"t_","") AS Expr1
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (((MSysObjects.Type)=1) AND ((MSysObjects.Flags)=0));
Then set the Column Count to 2, the Column Widths to 0;2 (the second number just needs to be any positive number) an the Bound Column to 1.
Now when you go to call your function the value of the combobox will be the real name of the table, t-customers, but what you saw on your form was customers.
As for accessing that combobox a few things need to be in place.
Let's say you have a form, Form1, and your combobox, cbTable, is on that form.
So when your form runs it looks like this
Now let's say you have an OnChange even for that combobox
Notice that when you type cbTable it appears in the intellisense (ctrl+space). This tells you that your object is accessible at this scope.
Now if you were in another module where that variable is out of scope you would get this error when you try to compile.
Because Module1 has no idea what cbTable is. However, you can reference anything so long as it's fully qualified. So if we run this test with your form open, and "orders" selected all 3 of these lines are equivalent
Forms("Form1").cbTable
Form_Form1!cbTable
Forms("Form1").Controls("cbTable")
Notice at the top of all my modules it says Option Explicit. This forces your code to basically be checked for syntax/scope validity before you run it. Tools > Options
I have a standard form in MS-Access which lists a bunch of orders, and each row contains order no, customer, etc fields + a button to view notes and attached document files.
On request from our customer we should gray out the button btnAnm (or check or uncheck a checkbox) depending on a calculation from two queries to two other tables (a SELECT COUNT WHERE and a check if a text field is empty).
I've tried btnAnm_BeforeUpdate(...) and btnAnm_BeforeRender(...) and put breakpoints in the subs, but none of them trigger. The same if I use the control Ordernr instead of btnAnm.
I'd like a function in the Detail VBA code to be triggered for each "Me." (row) so to speak, and set the row's control's properties in that sub.
What do I do? I've looked at the help file and searched here.
*Edit: So I want to do something that "isn't made to work that way"? Ie. events are not triggered in Details.
As an alternative, could I base the value of a checkbox on each line on a query based on the 'Ordernr' field of the current row and the result of a SELECT COUNT from another table and empty field check?
Do I do this in the query the list is based on, or can I bind the extra checkbox field to a query?
A description of how to do this (combine a COUNT and a WHERE "not empty" to yes/no checkbox value) would be perfectly acceptable, I think! :)*
You cannot do much with an unbound control in a continuous form, anything you do will only apply to the current record. You can use a bound control with a click event so that it acts like a button.
Presumably the related documents have a reference to the order number that appears on your form, which means that you can create a control, let us call it CountOrders, with a ControlSource like so:
=DCount("OrderID","QueryName","OrderID=" & [OrderID])
The control can be hidden, or you can set it up to return true or False for use with a textbox, you can also use it for Conditional Formatting, but sadly, not for command buttons.
Expression Is [CountOrders]>0
You can also hide the contents and add a click event so that is acts in place of the command button. Conditional Formatting will allow you to enable or disable a textbox.
As I understand your question, you have a continuous form with as command button that appears on each row - and you'd like to enable/disable the button conditionally depending on the contents of the row.
Unfortunately you can't do that. It seems that you can't reference the individual command buttons separately.
Having wanted to do something similar in the past I came up with two alternate ways of setting up my interface.
Put a trap into the onClick code for the Button. Which is icky, because it is counter intuitive to the user. But it gets you that functionality now.
Move the command button (and editable fields) up into the form header, and make the rows read only. Your users then interact with the record only in the header, and select the record they want work with in the list below. As I recall this is known a Master-Detail interface.
