Hi all,
In Baan we have the option of "Filter" in "View" menu. When we apply some filter we get the icon of filter on the session (Please see the attached image for more clarification).
I want to have my customized icon after executing some function at the same place.

Is there any function by which I can achieve it.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you have to change the standard tools icons? In LN, the icons are delivered as Additional Files unlike previous tools versions where they were all in $BSE/gif folder which can be replaced easily.

There is no possibility to trigger an icon at that position. This is a pure tools feature related to filtering.
You could use icons in the secondary tool bar. Or add a button in the view of your session. Those can be dis- and en-abled whenever you want.

Hello Prashanth & Adriaan,
Thanks a lot for your reply.

I am not intrested in changing the standard tools icon.

We have the form command on the multi occ session, which opens a new session. This session is just used to maintain the filter constraints, when I close it, those constraints are applied on the records and we get some selected records in the multi occ session.

Now when this customized filter is been applied, I cant visually see and know whether the filter is been currentlly active or not. For this purpose I wanted the filter icon, as shown when the filter of tools is been applied.

Any suggestions for achieving some similar visual effects will be appreciated.

In the session tcmcs0108m000 the user can also apply an application filter via specific menu. So within the menu the user can see whether it is active. In the status bar the user can see as well that there is a filter active.

This could be a solution for your situation as well.

Couldn't you just put a field on the form that says Filter Set or Filter not set. Something simple the user can see.

There are other posts on the forum for doing things like drawing around a box, etc. that might help you - but I believe in the keep it simple method.

Rahul,

I think one example in our custom application code which does that you are trying to do. From the multi-occ session the single-occ session for filter is started and that uses put.var() commands to send back the selection criteria to be applied to the record set and there is a display field which shows the selections.

Hi all,
Thanks a lot to all for your suggestions.

I would prefer to display some message in the status bar which will display some message in case the filter is active.

Thanks,

I would prefer to display some message in the status bar which will display some message in case the filter is active.

Then you can use the tools function - status.mess() (http://www.baanboard.com/programmers_manual_baanerp_help_functions_message_handling_status_mess)
