Hiding Header Panels E10.2

Epicor ERP 10

Let’s say I want to sometimes hide the Header panel in Sales Order Entry, because I do.

So I grab the GUID if sheetHeaderPanel1, get a copy of the object, and set its visibility to false. Here’s the code from the appropriate spots in the script:

Erp.UI.App.SalesOrderEntry.SheetHeaderPanel headerSheet = null;

headerSheet = (Erp.UI.App.SalesOrderEntry.SheetHeaderPanel)csm.GetNativeControlReference(“bf303fd3-c1ed-4b43-823e-0b824983a742”);

headerSheet.Visible = false;

It makes the header sheet empty, but still displays the tab at the top.

If I click on Properties with sheetHeaderPanel1 selected and then set Visible to false the header tab disappears, just like I want.

But setting it programmatically I just get a blank sheet.

Anyone able to set this successfully?

Thanks,

Joe Trent

I remember struggling with this for an annoyingly long time, but I can’t lay my hands on what solved it because in the end we took a different route to whatever we were doing at the time.

From memory, I think it was something to do with a container object to what appears to be the relevant panel, and making the parent invisible rather than the panel itself.

Yep, it’s not looking good, or maybe worth the effort.

I made a Q&D recursion to find the parent and invisiblize that, but it had no effect. I guess we’ll just have blank sheets for now.

Thanks,

foreach (Control control in sheetTopLevelPanel1.Controls)
{
//MessageBox.Show(“control 0” + control.Name);
foreach (Control control1 in control.Controls)
{
//MessageBox.Show(“control 1” + control1.Name);
if (control1.Name == “dockableWindow3”) control1.Visible = false; // the parent of sheetHeaderPanel1
foreach (Control control2 in control1.Controls)
{
//MessageBox.Show(“control 2” + control2.Name);
if (control2.Name == “sheetHeaderPanel1”) control2.Visible = false;
/* foreach (Control control3 in control2.Controls)
{
MessageBox.Show(“control 3” + control3.Name);

		} */
	}
}

}

Are you doing this on initialize or load? I recommend on load.

I usually do it in the _Load

private void PartTrackerForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
	revPanel.baseDockManager.PaneFromKey("DataTagPanel").Close();
}

private Erp.UI.App.PartTracker.Panels.PartRev.PartRevPanel revPanel {
	get {
		return (Erp.UI.App.PartTracker.Panels.PartRev.PartRevPanel)csm.GetNativeControlReference("9d473ae1-1718-41ac-9643-c4828a09a0a2");
	}
}

I’ll give that a shot.
