To Blank a UDF

Completed

Hi,

There is a nice feature SetUdfSidebar(|) to set a value in a UDF field.

It would be nice to have a command to blank the UDF.

Something like BlankUdfSidebar()

(I can blank them with an easy .NET code, but I think this is command would be easier for a consultant)

Regards,

 John

    Hi

    This feature is great but it does not work for link type UDFs. In order to blank these you need to use ALT + Double-Click. Adding these fields to the main form and using menus to blank them works, but I want these to be hidden on several documents and also want the UDF sidebar hidden. I cannot find a way of doing this using a macro.

    Regards

    Hi Rob

    I'm afraid the SAP SDK does not allow users to clear this field (SAP rules :-( )

    The best way to do it is to add it to the main screen, but set its top and left position in Item Placement Tool to negative values (so the field is off-screen). That way it is hidden but still possible to blank.

    Hi Rasmus

    I thought that might be the case. Maybe you could put in a request to ask for a way to enter these values via the SDK?

    I had put the fields on the main form off-screen but was getting an error. I now realise that having more than one field in the same place (even off-screen) was the problem.

    Thanks
