Dictionary Search Help - how to trigger an event after F4 help

Hi,
I been searching the web lately to find a way to trigger an event after using the F4 input help.
Here is an example of what I would like to do:
- I have a WD form with a inputfield in it.
- The input field is bound to datalement "LIFNR".
- In my context I have specified the Input Help Mode to "Dictionary Search Help"
- And the Dictionay Search Help is set to "KRED"
A user will the click on F4 to start the Search help, then pick a LIFNR and the WD inputfield wil be filled.
What I want is to trigger an event when this is happening.
Does anyone have som tips or guides for me regarding this problem?
Thanks in advance! =)

How to trigger an event after symbol animation completes?

Hello,
I have been trying to figure this out without success.
On the stage I have a button and a hidden symbol. The symbol has an animation within itself.
When I click the button, the symbol becomes visible and plays the animation. Its all good so far.
This is what I am trying to accomplish:
I want to be able to click the now visible symbol, the animation within itself plays in reverse and then it hides itself.
How do I make it hide itself after the animation plays in reverse?
==================================================================================
BUTTON CODE (This works for me):
sym.$("AnimationOne").show();
var AnimOne = sym.getSymbol("AnimationOne");
AnimOne.play(0);
SYMBOL CODE (This needs to hide after animation ends):
var AnimOne = sym.getSymbol("AnimationOne");
AnimOne.playReverse();
sym.$("AnimationOne").hide(); // If I add this, it just hides itself without animating in reverse
==================================================================================
Thank you in advance for any help/suggestions.

simple work around:
place a label on your symbol and turn visibility ON
Then on compostion ready stop your symbol on that label
var s = sym.getSymbol("shape");
s.stop("startAni");
On your click event play the symbol from the label.
var s = sym.getSymbol("shape");
s.play("startAni");
Then on your playReverse it will go all the way to 0 where visibility is OFF.

Eventing on dictionary search help on date field

Hi Experts,
In my WDABAP application I have a Date input field. I have used dictionary search help into this field to display calender searc help.
Now on select of the date from the calender I want to trigger one event which will enable some other fields in the application.
Can you please tell me how to implement this on select event of the date.
Thanks
Sonia.

Hi,
Since you are using an Input Field , only event possible is "On Enter" event.This event is triggered when "enter" key is pressed by the user after selecting a value in the input field.So may be you can use this and proceed further.
Although it may not serve you the actual requirement that you have to achieve , because input field does not have any event for "On select".
[On Enter|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/14/0ce74114a1da6fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm] this link might help

How to trigger an event in the program

Hi,
I have a program. The purpose of the program is to retrieve the data matching the selection criteria and downlod the same to a file.
In the selection screen, I have a parameter called 'EVENT'. Here, user enters some event name. Generally, they enter the 'Background job processing events'.
So, my requirement is... once the files are successfully downloaded, the program should trigger the 'EVENT' specified in the selection screen at run time.
Can someone help me in this regard. How to trigger an EVENT in the program. Is there any Function Module or Method available in SAP which triggers the EVENT at runtime.
And is there any table available in SAP which stores all the events available in SAP. Because, whenever the user enters an EVENT in the selection screen, we should check whether the event is valid or not. So, if there is any table available which has all the events then, it will be easy I guess. or is there any other way to validate the EVENT name.
Please help me. Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Paddu.

Hello Paddu,
have a look at tables
- btcsev, btcsed (system events)
- btcuev, btcued (user events)
and use function BP_EVENT_RAISE.
kind regards

How to trigger left_click_run event on ALV GRID

Hiiiiiiii........
Can any of u please tell me how to trigger left_click_run event on ALV GRID.
There is an event LEFT_CLICK_RUN and its a public accessed event. But the problem is , the corresponding attribute of this event "EVENT_LEFT_CLICK_RUN" which is needed to registered that event (We need to register our events through a method set_register_events using table of type cntl_simple_events...) is protect accessed. So I am unable to use that attribute...Could u please tell me is there any alternative way to register that event.......ANY POSSIBLE WAY?
Thanks in advance,
Rams

I think you should use event selection_changed. Note that you shouldn't allow multiple selection for the tree at the same time, i.e. use: create object g_tree exporting \[...\] node_selection_mode = cl_gui_column_tree=>node_sel_mode_single.
For more information, see this thread: Urgently required : cl_gui_alv_tree single_click event...

Problem with ALV search help Dictionary Search Help

Hello experts
I have a problem with ALV search help.
I use DDIC table ZXXX with text table ZXXX_T. I created DDIC search help form table ZXXX. In my WD application, in context on COMPONENTCONTROLLER i set on attribute: 'Input help mode' as 'Dictionary Search Help' and in 'Dictionary Search Help' I pass name of new created DDIC search help.
I create a input field from that atrribute and search help works fine (there was a value and description for value from text table). So I created ALV witch contains that attribute too.
Next I set column for this attribute in ALV as editable but on Serch help for this collumn I have only value. I DON'T HAVE TEXT DESCRIPTION FOR VALUE.
Please help me and tell me what I do wrong?
Miko

Hello,
Thank's for your help. I create DDic Search help for all fields from my ALV. Next I changed 'TYPE' for all ALV fields in COMPONENTCONTROLLER from ZXXX-Zfield to Zfield, and I changed 'Input help mode' from 'Automatic' to 'Dictionary Search Help'. Now I see Value and Description for value in Search Help in my ALV.

How to trigger a event when WBS gets changed in Cj02

Hello,
I have a requirement where I need to send create an idoc and send the idoc to external system when WBS is created or changed. Currently, I have the following setup:
   - I have created a YBUS2054 as a subtype of BUS2054 using SWO1
   - YBUS2054 has been delegated to BUS2054
   - created an CHANGED event in the YBUS2054. This event is implemented and then released
   - created a type linkage (object type=YBUS2054, event=CHANGED, receiver type null, and receiver function module = zz_create_wbs_idoc) using SWETYPV. This function is supposed to create an idoc when CHANGED event occurs. I just don't know how to trigger the event to occur.
   - all the port, define idoc type, logical system, and etc are setup
   - when I try to create an entry in "Event for Chagne Document" using SWEC with change doc object=PROJ, business object type = YBUS2054, with on change, I get "Key for change doc object PROJ and business object type YBUS2054 are incompatible".
I tried various configurations, and I was not successfully in creating an event on CHANGED
can you please advise what I am missing in getting the changed event to trigger?
Thank you in advance,
Shawn

Hi,
If the change doc doesnt exist, check if you can create an event using BSVW.
Also use the event log to see if there are other sap standard events happening.
I checked the package belonging to CJ02 to see if there is something useable, but didn't find anything: CN_PSP_OPR
If there are no sap standard ways to get an event, you'll have to find a badi/enhancement spot and include some coding to start the event using fm SAP_WAPI_CREATE_EVENT.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

A ALV with some editable fields which have dictionary search help

Hi all:
There is a requirement to implement an ALV with some editable fields which have dictionary search help, do you have any idea?
thank you very much

Hi - yes it can be done.
1st in your object select the component SALV_WD_TABLE (ALV component) * do all the bindings of your component to your VIEW, Component usage interface, etc.
When you are declaring your context node attributes if you add a TYPE Data element that has a search help bind to the data element it will be accessible in your ALV or in the Attribute there's a INPUT HELP that option that you can add the search help there but you need to have your ALV input enable
for example:
data: lr_input_field Type Ref To cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field,
lt_column Type salv_wd_t_column_ref,
ls_colum Type salv_wd_s_column_ref,
lv_value Type Ref To cl_salv_wd_config_table,
l_col_name type string,
lr_cmp_usage Type Ref To if_wd_component_usage,
lo_interfacecontroller Type Ref To iwci_salv_wd_table.
lr_cmp_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ). *ALV is the name you enter for your component usage when declaring component SALV_WD_TABLE at the beginning.
if lr_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
lr_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
endif.
lo_interfacecontroller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ). *once again your ALV name
lv_value = lo_interfacecontroller->get_model( ).
lt_columns = lv_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_columns( ).
Loop at lt_columns into ls_column.
l_col_name = ls_column-r_column->get_id( ).
create object lr_input_field
exporting
value_fieldname = l_col_name.
ls_column-r_column->set_cell_editor( value = lr_input_field ). *this will made all your columns input fields
endloop.
hope this help!

How to trigger own events?

How can you create your own events to be triggered?
For instance, I have an InputStream that I've got through a Socket that's listening for incoming data. I want to signal/trigger an event when data comes in so that the gui (in another class) can take appropriate actions. How can you do this?

The basic idea is this:
public interface SockeListener
    void dataEvent(/* pass a parameter if needed. Often an event interface is added */);
public class MySocket
     private final List listeners = new ArrayList();
     public void addListener(SocketListener listener)
          listeners.add(listener);
     public void removeListener(SocketListener listener)
          listeners.remove(listener);
     private void triggerEvent()
           for (Iterator i = listeners.iterator(); i.hasNext();)
                ((SocketListener) i).dataEvent();
}Check out the PropertyChangeSupport class also.

Problem with Dictionary Search Help

very good morning!!
we have a z-search help called 'ZIH_TIPOIDENTIFICACION', and we want to select a line from the help search, and put the values in two fields. This is easy if the two fields are in the same context, but the fields are in different contexts. Field 1 is in the context BTADMINH and field 2 is in the context BTACTIVITYH and is a field of type 'attribute value'. Only works Field 1 . I do not fill the Field 2, the value for 'field-context_attr ls_field ='
our code is:
data ls_field   type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping.
data: lt_input type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab,
        lt_output type if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>gtype_param_mapping_tab.
ls_field-context_attr = 'EXT.ZZAFLD00003H'.
ls_field-f4_attr      = 'ZTAXTYPE'.
append ls_field to lt_output.
ls_field-context_attr = 'BTACTIVITYH/Z_TIPO_IDENT_TEXT'.
ls_field-f4_attr      = 'TEXT'.
append ls_field to lt_output.
create object rv_valuehelp_descriptor type cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
    exporting
      iv_help_id        = 'ZIH_TIPOIDENTIFICACION'
      iv_help_id_kind   = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_name
      iv_input_mapping = lt_input
      iv_output_mapping = lt_output.
Any ideas?
many thanks

Hi Victor,
You can access the BTACTIVITYH field from the BT ADMINH context node using the relationships.
      entity ?= current.
*     Method 1
      current = entity->get_related_entity(
               iv_relation_name = 'BTHeaderActivityExt' ).      "#EC NOTEXT
      IF current IS NOT BOUND.
        RETURN.
      ENDIF.
Here the Current referne will have your new attribute to display in system. Use the same relation code in both set and get methods.
So that both attributes will be part of BTAdminH context node then your above code will work correctly.
Best Regards,
Dharmakasi.
