Checkboxes in Forms

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can somebody tell me how to insert Checkboxes in SAP Script or SmartForms? Also, how do I make my print program output the form as PDF?

Thanks,

John.

hi,

just use SAP symbols.

For unmarked checkbox create a new text field and add symbol <727> in it.

For marked checkbox, use symbol <697>.

They do not show on print preview, but you can see them on paper or for example on .PDF output.

You can see a list of SAP symbols in transaction SO10, menu path Insert / Character / SAP symbols.

you can check the symbols using SO10. insert->character ->SAP symbols.

there you can see all the symbols and their representation.

In a window u create a text element..

Then in the Properties of the text element there is tab with WEB PROPERTIES..

In that give a field name and the Input type ( list box will be there ) , give it as check box ,,

Hi John,

SMARTFORM...

In text symbols,you can see the Text Editor on left side.

Click it.

In menu,GO to->CONFIGURE EDITOR

Go to SAPSCRIPT->GRAPHICAL PC EDITOR[tick it]

Then Include->characters->SAP symbols->Find SYM_CHECKBOX and choose the same.

Then 697 will come in our Text Element.

It will add the checkbox.

SCRIPT...

You can use SAP Symbol <697> ( in the Script text editor, menu option, Insert -> Characters -> SAP Symbols -> SYM_CHECKBOX. But this symbol appears only in hard copies and not in print preview. Also this get distorted if you are converting the output into a PDF. In such a case, you can upload an image and use in your SAP Script.
