Create external window with webdynpro application

Hi,
is it possible to create an external window with another application?
The method if_wd_window_manager~create_window_for_cmp_usage would be great. But this method create only a modal popup.
Greetings
Marcus

Hi,
We can create external window using below method.
lo_api_component   = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
lo_window          = lo_window_manager->create_external_window(
        url          = l_url( "URL of the webdynpro application")
        title        = 'Submitted candidate'
        has_menubar = abap_false
        has_toolbar = abap_false
        has_location = abap_false ).
lo_window->open( ).
Regards,
Lakshmi.

Create External Window in Webdynpro for Abap

I am creating an external window using method CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW. The componentcontroller context and the assistance class attributes are not available in the Handledefault method of the external window. Is there a way to pass data to the external window without using URL parameters?
Thanks

>@Thomas: with all your wonderful eLearnings on WDA is there one which covers this in any depth? As it would be nice to point people to it.
No I can't say that I have ever created something specifically on this. The ACFUpDownload example is closest simply because I use the cache table is a similiar way, althought I hesitate to recommend that eLearning in this situation becuase that aspect isn't central to the eLearning and it might just confuse things further.
>don't forget about the possibility of database persistence of the data either -
That was actually what I was talking about in server cookies as well. Server cookies are something that was originally created for BSP, but work fine in WDA as well. They are just a cluster table where you can store any data you want and access in another session via a key. The nice thing about server cookies is that there is already a help class for read/write and batch job that can be scheduled to clear out expired entries.

Hi,
Follow the steps below:
1. Create a new Window and embed a View which needs to be opened from the main view.
2. Create a context attribute of type IWDWindow (Java Native Type Option)
3. Write the following code in the controller for opening the new window:
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo)
wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("<windowname>");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createModalWindow(windowInfo);
wdContext.currentContextElement().set<contextattributename>(window);
window.show();
4. In the new window, create a contextattribute and bind it to the attribute created in controller and on action of the close button write the following code:
IWDWindow window = wdContext.currentContextElement().get<attributename>();
window.destroyInstance();
Hope this helps you.

How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?

How to create a window with its own window border other than the local system window border?
For example, a border: a black line with a width 1 and then a transparent line with a width 5. Further inner, it is the content pane.
In JavaSE, there seems to have the paintComponent() method for the JFrame to realize the effect.

Not sure why your code is doing that. I usually use an ObjectProperty<Point2D> to hold the initial coordinates of the mouse press, and set it to null on a mouse release. That seems to avoid the dragging being confused by mouse interaction with other nodes.

Closing the NonModel External Window in Webdynpro

Hi,
I have a Webdynpro Application, in which i used to call the webdynpro application in a Separate external window by using the below code.
String depObjectName =wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart().getDeployableObjectName();
WDDeployableObjectPart depObjectpart=WDDeployableObject.getDeployableObjectPart(depObjectName,"TestApp",WDDeployableObjectPartType.APPLICATION);
String url = URLGenerator.getApplicationURL(depObjectpart) ;
*// Code to Popup the View in External window by calling the Application *
window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(url,"Update View");
wdContext.currentContextElement().setCtx_WindowInstance(window);
window.setWindowSize(625, 225);
window.setWindowPosition(50, 75);
*window.setTitle("Update View"); *
window.show();
This opens the Separate external window and after editing some fields, I need to Update the DB and close the window.
When i try to use the code,
window.destroyInstance();
The window is not getting closed. I have used the window instance as the static IWDWindow window, still i am not able to close the window.
Anyone Please let me know how to close the External Non Model Window.
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hi Sekar,
my suggestion is to open another window that contains html code which invokes opener . close() on the parent window - your window to be closed. This worked for me and made my day.
I open an HTML file created as IWDCachedWebResource as nonModalExternalWindow over a LinkToAction which invokes onActionClose. There is a second window opening for a short moment which will be closed by its onLoad event.
The HTML code is basically sporting a < script >-section which contains a call to opener . close().
regards,
Christian
Ps: sorry, I can't post the code - it simply does not work... Had the same problem days ago with another thread .

How to create external window on top of other window?

I create an external window from my web dynpro component. How to make sure the new window is created on top, not in the back? My web dynpro component is accessed via sapgui and browser.
Thank you
Edited by: Vincent Cao on Jun 15, 2010 5:25 AM

Yes, by default it should be on top.But mine is displayed in the background.
Logic is:
1 Window A (or SAPGUI A) has a pop window PA with a button "OK"
2 Press "OK" button, PA window is closed. And fire an event to window A
3 A get the event, refresh itself and create an external window.
Part of codes:
      window = lo_window_manager->create_external_window(
          url            = i_url
          title          = title
          modal          = modal " abap_false
          has_menubar    = has_menubar "abap_true
          is_resizable   = is_resizable "abap_true
          has_scrollbars = has_scrollbars "abap_true
          has_statusbar = has_statusbar "abap_true
          has_toolbar    = has_toolbar "abap_true
          has_location   = has_location ). "abap_true
      IF width IS NOT INITIAL AND height IS NOT INITIAL.
        window->set_window_size( width = width height = height ).
      ENDIF.
      window->open( ).

GP with Webdynpro Application

Hi
I want to develop a webdynpro application which should create a callable object to be used in GP.
In the application, one view is there ,which one EP user will submit to a higher authority to get approval.
the higher authority person will get that view with some additional fields(like remark field, approval button etc.).
How can I use GP for this type of application??
Can I use the same view for both the levels of users with some changes??
How can I create such a webdynpro application using GP?
I have gone through some of the forum documents in all those, only one view is there.
How can I link different webdynpro views(based on business scenario) using Gp??

Hi Gopal,
I would rather recommend you to use Java Web Dypro to have all the advantages of a better integration (parameters mapping, eventing on completion, etc.). You can use ABAP Web Dynpro Application but this is, from a GP Perspective, strictly limited to open the Application. Nothing else happens.
To reach a better integration in ABAP, you might use the BSP Callable Object.
Best regards,
David

Close external window from source application

I am trying to close the external browser window from the source application (wda). But it seems that I am unable to close from the source window, just by calling close method. This close method has a parameter ' control_to_focus_id' . I am not sure what exactly it needs to be filled with.
But anyways these act like two separate sessions and can't communicate any longer.
Is there a way for me to control the external window and close on some user action at source/
Any inputs would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
External window is independent of source window, you cannot control it from source application. May I know what is your requirement!

Hi,
An objective setting cycle encompasses the following phases:
Planning
In a planning consultation, the necessary qualifications and competencies are first identified for an employee and then concrete objectives and required performance levels are agreed. For example, sales targets could be defined and the employee could agree to take on specific tasks in a project, and so on. These aspects can be defined by the manager, by the employee or both. The employeeu2019s personal training and development requirements are discussed and entered in the objective setting agreement.
Review
During the review, the objectives agreed with the employee during the planning phase are checked and adjusted to reflect the current situation. The manager and employee discuss the possible need for support, establish whether the objectives defined in the planning phase are still relevant, and add further objectives or decide to delete obsolete ones. Furthermore, the manager can make comparisons between the objectives set previously and the employeeu2019s current performance.
Appraisal
During the appraisal, the manager and employee discuss the extent to which the employee has fulfilled the set objectives. They check and assess the employeeu2019s overall performance and the implementation of concrete set objectives. Any further training requirements or an overfulfillment of the objectives are identified in the different areas. The appraisal document is completed when the manager and employee agree on an valuation. As soon as the appraisal document is saved in the system as Completed or Approved, the employeeu2019s compensation can be adjusted automatically and the employeeu2019s qualifications profile can be updated

Blackberry issues with WebDynpro application

We are testing a webdynpro application via a blackberry. The webdynpro application works fine from IE. With the blackberry, we see the following:
- User logs into the application. After user's first access attempt, they no longer have to log in. We even turn off the Blackberry and restart. The same issue occurs.
- User executes a line item transaction in the Blackberry. This item executes fine. However, we get a communication error on the next lineitem.
Is there Blackberry Browser and/or Blackberry server settings that need to be applied to allow the sessions and WebDynpro communication to work properly?

Hi Stephen,
I'm working on creating Blackberry application for online Purchase requisition Approval process, using PR workflow.
Workflow configurations have been done in ECC.

How to create popup window with radio buttons and a input field

Hi Guys,
Can somebody give some directions to create a stand alone program to create a window popup with 2 radio button and an input field for getting text value. I need to update the text value in a custom table.
I will call this stand alone program from an user exit.
Please give me the guidance how go about it or please give any tutorial you have.
Thanks,
Mini

Hi,
There are multiple aspects of your requirements. So let's take them one at a time.
You can achieve it in the report program or you can use a combination of the both along.
You can create a standalone report program using the ABAP Editor (SE38). In the report program you can call the SAP Module pool program by CALL Screen <screen number>. And then in the module pool program you an create a subscreen and can handle the window popup with 2 radio button and an input field for getting the text.
For help - Module Pool programs you can search in ABAP Editor with DEMODYNPRO* and you will ge the entire demo code for all dialog related code.
For Report and other Module pool help you can have a look at the following:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/47/a1ff9b8d0c0986e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm

Hi Tony,
Somehow I solved this issue. I dont remember what exactly I did, as it was sometime back in December. I think I used the Wizard initially to do the configurations in Solution Manager and again i tried to do the same manually as the earlier one threw some errors.
It seems the wizard proceeded half-way through and hence the entry was made in the database already and hence that error.
Anyways thank you for replying me.

KM API : Creating External Link with Overwriting feature

Hi,
I am using KM API to create an external link on a KM folder.
This is the code which I am using for it.
    try
      pathRID = RID.getRID(p_parent);
      collection = (ICollection)p_ResourceFactory.getResource(pathRID, p_ResouceContext);
      collection.createLink(p_childname, URL.getInstance(p_linkValue), LinkType.EXTERNAL, null);
    catch (NameAlreadyExistsException naee) {}
Now, in my case, there are chances that an external link with same name already residing in same folder. In this case I want my method to overwrite existing external link with the new one.
How to do it?
Thanks and regards,
Amey Mogare

I could not get any response to this question here. Seems like I need to post this to Portal forum??
For the time being, I am deleting existig Resource and creating a new one!
