F4 help in an Input Field in WebDynpro

Hello Evryone,
I Have a question based on F4 help.
I have a static context node and an element of the node A has a search help shlp_a attached to it. the node A is having a Input field in UI mapped to it. When i use F4 help on this ui element mapped to Node A, i get a F4 help triggered.
the search help shlp_a is having a search help exit attached to it.
what i expect is, i want to trigger a Pop-up in place of f4 help. this pop-up should only be displayed only on a specific scenario. i do not want to change this approach as this would disturb my existing functionality.
is this possible?
regards
Om

  • F4 / Help Functionality for input field in custom java iView

    Hi,
    As we see many F4 help on each input field in a transaction, how can we mimic the same functionality in a Custom Java iView. For example, ME23N, you can search a PO based on some criteria, when i create a new custom java iview using BAPI_PO_DISPLAY, how can provide that F4 or help functionality to the Purchase Order field.
    Your help is really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    the F4 Help functionality is always of big concern when you're switching from a R/3 or ABAP-SAP GUI environment to a webfront end. First of all: the convinience you're used to of creating a seach help and adding it to your data fields is gone, i.e. the current development status in the portal/java/webdynpro implies that you have to do most of the work on your own. Simple value helps might not be a problem, but complex ones are (as the one you've described). Here is a link to a tutorial in Java-webdynpro, maybe it gives you an idea:

  • Can we Change the backround color of an Input field in Webdynpro for ABAP.

    Hi Experts ?
    Can we change the background color of an Input field in WebDynpro for ABAP based on results we receive from any function module or BAPI?? .
    Thanks in advance .
    Regards ,
    LAS

    Yes. We can change the background of an input field. The way you do this is by editing the theme that webdynpro application uses. To edit the theme, you will need to install NWDS PLUS the theme edit plugin (Available for download from SAP).
    Once you have edited the theme, you will need to upload your theme back to application server. You can use the program : BSP_UPDATE_MIMEREPOS to do this.
    Bydefault, the theme used by webdynpro applications is :
    /SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/sap_tradeshow
    You can apply another theme by calling the webdynpro application with a theme parameter. For example, if my webdynpro application name is "zgopaltest", then
    <i><b>http://<server>:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zgopaltest?SAP-EP-THEMEROOT=/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/sap_tradeshow</b></i>
    will apply the sap_tradeshow theme.
    Likewise, you can apply diffrent theme. There is another theme that SAP provides. Its called : sap_hcb. Hence, you can apply the theme to the above application by:
    <i><b>http://<server>:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/zgopaltest?SAP-EP-THEMEROOT=/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/UR/nw5/themes/sap_hcb</b></i>

              I need to populate an input field with different search helps based on the user action i.e when user selects "Audit"  i hav to show the audit search help for my input field, when he selects  "Audit Plan" i would hav to show audit plan search help.
    My Questions >
    1> i intend to use the method set_attribute_value_help of the interface if_wd_context_info and do the coding as :-
    data lo_nd_info  type if_wd_context_node_info.

    Hi Ebru,
    Yes, it is possible using OVS, freely programmed and dictionary help.
    For OVS, refer this blog: /people/shruti.rathour/blog/2008/05/05/ovs-help-in-web-dynpro-abap
    For Dictionary Search Help, refer http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/47/9f724642314aabe10000000a42189b/frameset.htm
    For freely programmed, refer:

    Hi,
    For a given field if you have more number of possible values then go for the Value table or check table.
    If you have a few values for a given field, then go for Value ranges. These can be maintained at Domain level for a field.
    For each field create a correspondign data element(DE)
    In this DE, we can have the FURTHER CHARACTERISTICS tab we can create a search help Or directly from SE11 we can create a SH then attach this to the DE Or we can directly maintian Or At the DOMAIN level we can  .
    Ex:
    LOCATIONS ARE A, B, C, D, G AND CONFERENCE ROOMS OF THESE LOCATIONS ARE,
    A1, A2 ,A3,, LIKE WISE FOR REST OF THEM.
    Ex:
    SE11->
    DE and Domain names is LOC.
    In SE11->DOMAIN->LOC->
    Here as you have a few values we can maintain it in VALUE RANGES tab->
    like
    A (Description to be given) ie Loc A for Hyderabad
    B Bangalore
    C
    D
    G
    Room Numbers-> here can createa value table with serial numbers at the Domain level.
    Attach the same to the  respective DE in the SE11.
    Similary we can maitain for Conference room numbers or
    We can create a Search help using the two field LOC and RoomNos and create a Elementary search help.
    Like this we can do.
    Get back if you still have queries on this.

  • How to implement AZAX call for a input field in webdynpro java.

    Hello everyone,
    I want to make a AZAX call , when I click on the input field.Anybody has already implemented this earlier, plz let me know how to do this.
    Thanks,
    Srikanta

    Undo/Redo is a pain in the neck. If I recall correctly, I usually use a javax.swing.undo.CompoundEdit to group smaller edits. Not sure if this will work but you might try starting a compound edit when a user strikes a key and ending it after a certain amount of time passes without a keystroke. This will allow rapid bursts of typing to be grouped as a single edit.

  • Dynamically Creation of  input field in webdynpro

    Hello Experts,
    I am new to webdynpro.
    I have a requirement to create the input filed dynamically for material.
    Requirement:- I have to button in my screen "+" and "-" button.
                          after execution  while i will click on + button one input filed should be created automatically and while i will clicik on
                          - button the newly creaed inputfield should be deleted from the screen.
    Coulld anybody help me on this.
    it would be great if somebody can share any solutin or sample code.
    Thanks in Adv...

    Hi Kiran,
    Jus to clarify on this: There might be situations, we don't know how many fields the user wants to create at runtime.
    Yes, OK, that does make sense and justifies the effort in this case, I agree with you.
    But in OP's case I think he only wants one field:
    after execution while i will click on + button one input filed should be created automatically and while i will clicik on
    Still, it does make sense to dynamically create them if there could be one up to X to keep the application slender.
    Cheers, Lukas

  • In CAT2 - The search help populating the input field with wrong data

    Hi Guys,
    I have created a ZCITY table for which has below 2 field
    ZZCITY (Code ) (5 Char) u2013 Key field
    ZZNAME (City Name ) (40 Character)
    I have added a custom field ZZCITY & ZZNAME in CI_CATSDB. Funtional guy has configured to make ZZNAME as  VISIBLE  and ZZCITY is HIDDEN on CAT2 screen in Data Entry area.
    I created search help on table ZCITY with export parameters as  ZZCITY and ZZNAME.
    In SE11, I have mapped the export parameters with CI_CATSDB
    Now in tcode CAT2, when I press F4 on City Name field, the list is displayed with City code and City names. And when I select any city code, the ZZNAME is populated by City code instead of City name.
    I want that City Name should be populated in ZZNAME and City Code should be populated in hidden field ZZCITY.
    Please tell me how I can fix this problem.
    Thanks in advance.
    mini

    Hi,
    Search helps have a one to one relationship with a screen field.  To achive what you are trying to, I would have ZZCITY and ZZNAME side by side, and i would have a drop down only only ZZCITY.  The key of the table will be ZZCITY. So when you chose the record, The city will populate in ZZCITY and you can make use of user exit EXIT_SAPLCATS_002 to populate the name automatically in the ZZNAME field.
    thanks.

  • To add F4 help for goods recipient field in MIGO

    Hello,
    I've a requirement in migo, under the details data, we have a "where" tab. 
    Under this tab, there is a field "Goods Recipient" for input.
    Now I've to add a F4 search help for this input field such that it picks up from my ZTABLE.
    Can anyone please suggest how to add the search help for this field.
    Can this be performed using a field exit or any userexit. MBCF0005 or badi MB_MIGO_BADI ?
    Please guide me and thanks in advance.
    ~With Regards,

    Thanks Rupali,
    I've already created my search help and search help goes well with any of my ztable or zprogram. But, the field where I want to add my search help is a standard migo program SAPLMIGO, and the field where I want to add search help is "good recipient" field under "where" tab of "migo" transaction.
    And the name of the field is WEMPF, which belongs to the sap standard structure GOITEM.
    So, SAP wont allow me to edit it's standard tables. Is there any other alternative?
