17.13 Hide scrollbars

Prerequisites

• Products: Liquid UI WS, Liquid UI Server or Local DLL, Client Software
• Commands: del(), noscrollbar()

Purpose

In this article, you will learn how to hide scrollbars on SAP screens. On an SAP screen, scrollbars can be turned off or hidden in a particular location by using the noscrollbar command. This is very useful when a user has to delete a large number of fields or other elements, eliminating the need for a scrollbar. The scrollbar at the right-hand edge of the window is the lone exception to the command - it is not disabled when using the noscrollbar command.

We'll guide you through the following steps.

1. Delete the unnecessary screen elements
2. Hide the scrollbar on the SAP screen

User Interface

//Create this file inside your script folder for customizing the Customer Change: Initial screen: SAPMF02D.E7000.sjs

//Now, let's add the Liquid UI script to the above file and save it.

1. Log in to SAP and navigate to transaction XD02 (Customer Change: Initial screen). Enter the customer number and click continue, as shown below.
    
   
    
2. Now, you will be navigated to the Change Customer: General Data screen, as shown below.
    
   
    
3. Delete the Communication group box under the Address tab, as shown below.
    

   //Deletes the Communication group box from the SAP screen.
   del("G[Communication]");

    
   
    
4. Now, using the noscrollbar(), we’ll hide the scrollbar of the Change Customer: General Data screen. You will see the scrollbar on the address tab is hidden, as shown below.
    

   //Hides the existing scrollbar
   noscrollbar();
