Screen Personas - Event that fires after F4 help selection

[Thomas_Mangler]

Is there a way to do some script action after a F4 help value was selected?
In many usecases you have to select a value with the F4 search help and then continue to the next screen with a button or the Enter Vkey.
I will implement this in one step.

With the onAfterRefresh - event it does not work properly.

Have you checked this blog?
And this wiki?

Hi Cristiano,

Thx for answering to my long time ago question.

My problem was not to create a code triggered F4 Help pop-up.
I wanted to do some coding after the manual selection of an F4 help pop-up value:

Scenario:
> klick any F4 Help
> select any value with double click
> after the value is taken over to the main Screen i want to do an automatic scripting.

I think at that time i have done this in two steps (double click the value and then press a scripting button)

best regards,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I'll have a look at this scenario during the week.

I'll come back to you until Friday.

Kind regards,

Hi Thomas,

I think I got it. Let me explain what I did.

1) Put a F4 Help Text Field and a Label in a new flavor. The F4 Help Text Field was linked to SUID_ST_BNAME table, BNAME field. The Label is meant to hold a text after I double click an item from the search help.

2) I wrote 2 scripts, for OnLoad and OnAfterRefresh screen events.

The scripts:

OnLoad:

var userID = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtPersonas_152459447653923").text;
session.utils.put("user",userID);
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/lblPersonas_152459451218351").text = "";

OnAfterRefresh:

var userID = session.utils.get("user");
var userF4 = session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtPersonas_152459447653923").text;

if (userID == userF4) {
return true;
}

session.utils.put("user",userF4);
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/lblPersonas_152459451218351").text = userF4;

As you can see, when the screen is loaded, I get the text from the F4 Help Text Field and keep in memory. The label text is cleared.

When I use the search help and double click an element, the second script comes into action: I get the previous value, from memory, and compare with the actual result, already written in the field. If they are equal, I do nothing, otherwise I store the new value and display it in the label.

Is this something you already tried? Does it fit your needs?

Kind regards,

Cris
