Statt in VB.NET eine eigene ActiveX Komponente zu implementieren, können Sie auch direkt eine Windows Form in das SAP GUI Fenster einbetten, indem Sie die Funktion guixt.EmbedForm() verwenden.

In Verbindung mit einer zentralen Ablage der VB.NET dll, zum Beispiel in SAP Web Repository oder Mime Repository, ist dann auf den Benutzer-PCs keinerlei Installation oder Registrierung nötig. DIe VB.NET dll wird ja von GuiXT automatisch beim ersten Ansprechen in den GuiXT Cache geladen und dort ausgeführt.

Wir zeigen das in diesem Tutorial an dem Beispiel einer interaktiven Kundeninfo. Das Beispiel ist relativ umfangreich, hat aber den Vorteil, eine Reihe von Techniken zu enthalten, die für die Implementierung einer Anforderung aus der Praxis hilfreich sind.

In Visual Studio sieht das Design der Form wie folgt aus:


Visual Studio, Forms Designer

Die Form besteht aus mehreren Tabellen, Buttons und einem Diagramm. Für den Benutzer ist der Ablauf wie folgt:


Eingabe der Kundennummer und "Start"

 

 


Anzeige der Kundeninformation

 

Die Tabelle rechts oben zeigt die bisher verkauften Artikel, absteigend sortiert nach 5-Jahres-Umsatz. Durch Klick auf einen Artikel wird jeweils ein Umsatzdiagramm für den ausgewählten Artikel angezeigt:


Diagramm pro Verkaufsprodukt


Diese Benutzeraktion wird unmittelbar in VB.NET durchgeführt. Andere Aktionen, z.B. Klick auf den Button "Fidelity 3 years", um das Treuepaket 3 als Kundenauftrag zu verbuchen, lösen dagegen ein InputScript aus, das in der VA01 die entsprechenden Artikel (oder eine Stückliste) einstellt.


"Treuepaket 3 Jahre" als Kundenauftrag anlegen

 

Insgesamt ist die Implementierung zwischen VB.NET und GuiXT Scripten variabel aufgeteilt. Datenzugriffe und SAP-Aktionen sind in InputScripts realisiert, während die Benutzeroberfläche und das Erstellen der Diagramme in VB.NET erfolgt.

Durch die Standard-.NET-Controls hat der Benutzer eine Reihe von Interaktionsmöglichkeiten -etwa nach Spalten zu sortieren -, die nicht separat implementiert werden müssen:


Sortierung nach Produktbezeichnung

 

Das Einblenden der Kundeninfo kann im Prinzip in einer beliebigen Transaktion erfolgen. Wir haben hier den Weg beschritten, eine eigene Transaktion ZCSO anzulegen, der Einfachheit halber als Parametertransaktion zu einer bestehenden; der Transaktion START_REPORT, die für unser Beispiel genügt.

 Alle Scripte zum Herunterladen, einschließlich des VB.NET Projekts, finden Sie in zcso.zip.  Bitte beachten Sie für eventuelle eigene Tests, dass wir das Erstellen der Diagramme über das (kostenlose) Microsoft-Zusatzpaket "MS Chart" implementiert haben, das nicht automatisch installiert ist. Sie finden in der zip-Datei zcso.zip auch die Installationsroutine zu MS Chart. Zum Öffnen des VB.NET Projekts bitte Visual Studio ab Version 2012 verwenden. Nach download der Datei zcso.zip ist meist ein "Unblock" nötig (rechte Maustaste -> Dateiattribute), sonst können die Dateien später nicht ausgeführt werden; oder "Unblock" nach Entpacken für die einzelnen Dateien.
