F4 Help in WDA

Hi,
Can any expert tell, how to get F4 value help to a field in Wed Dynpro for ABAP.
Consider the field doesnot have any standard searchhelp.
Thru' coding I would like to do the F4 Help.
I can create a search help and give in context of a attribute, but i need to do thru coding.

Hi,
for a dynamic F4 Help try this.
DATA: lo_nd_test        TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
      lo_nd_info_test   TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
* get node
lo_nd_test = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_your_node ).
* get node info
lo_nd_info_test = lo_nd_test->get_node_info( ).
* bind F4 Help to field
CALL METHOD lo_nd_info_test->set_attribute_value_help
    EXPORTING
      name            = 'FIELD_NAME'
      value_help_mode = if_wd_context_node_info=>c_value_help_mode-ddic
      value_help      = 'NAME_OF_F4_HELP'.
Best regards
Thomas

Dynamic Search Help in WDA Table

Hello Expert,
I would like to assign the standard search help for Webdynpro abap table in item level,
I know using the below code we can assign the search help for particular input field ,
DATA lo_nd_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
           lo_nd_info = lo_nd_eqt_partner->get_node_info( ).
           CALL METHOD lo_nd_info->set_attribute_value_help
             EXPORTING
               name            = 'PARTNER' " Your attribute Name
               value_help_mode = '121' " Valid value help mode
               value_help      = 'DEBI'. " Search help name.
But my scenario is i have one table which is having threee columns,
Partner type   partner   name,
so based on the partner type i would like to call the standard search help ,
if the line item 1 is having partner type 'KU' then i need to assign DEBI search help
if the line item 2 is having Partner type 'LI' or 'AG' then i need to assign KRED search help ,
If the line item 3 is having Partner type 'AP' then i need to assign VKNK search help
so please help me to achieve the same.
Thanks,
Sankar

One method to achieve this functionality would be :
1. Find out the maintenance screen and function group of the table maintenance generator say 2000 and ZFGRP.
2. Go to SE80 and open ZFGRP screen number 2000.
3. For Field number 1 , it is assumed that there is already a standard search help for it.
4. For field 2 - create a module in Process on Value Request Event in PAI of the maintenance screen ( Similar to any module pool program)
5. Use FM DYNP_VALUES_READ to read the value of field 1 on the screen ( Because this is before enter is pressed and field 1 on the module pool porogram would not be populated with value )
6. While creating internal table for this FM, filter out all the values that are not required based on value obtained above.
call the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST( In Process on Value request event of field 2 in PAI)

Search help in WDA

Hi All,
I tried implementing the F4 help for a parameter in the iview.
The search help was standard one -> H_T508A.
I bindded the context element having this search help option and automatic as the Input Help Mode.
On testing the application, for htis F4 its throwing dump saying the attribute does not exist which is one of the parameter i nthe search help. But when I execute the search help separately, its wrkng fine.
Please put inur suggestions.
Thanks
Krithika

Hi,
I myself found the error. It is because when a search help is having import and export parameters in it, we need to create a separate attribute in context and bind it to the layout. We should not create a node say PA0007 and add the attribute from dictionary structure.
Thanks .

How to remove mouseover help in WDA?

Hello Guys,
I am getting mouse over kind of help whenever I am taking mouse cursor over inputfield or button. we are on ERP 6.0 EhP4 system.
for e.g. button with name Process, the text is "Process - Button - Process - To activate, press spacebar"
In general, below text is appearing, "<btn_name> - Button - <btn_name> - To activate, press spacebar"
our business users do not wanted to see this kind of message.
My question is, Is there any setting we need to do to remove these kind of mouseover help?
Please let me know.

It sounds like you have accessiblity mode turned on and therefore are getting extra quickinfo text designed for screen readers for the visually impared. Make sure that you don't have accessibility mode activated either globally or on this application.

Expecting valuable information from you experts.

Hi RAM,
For time field, there is no SAP delivered search help in WDA , so we need to go for freely programmed search help.
Please refer the below link, in which Mr. Thomas, has provided the links for search help document you can follow and create new search help component
and also nugget of the component which can be imported using ZSAPLINK program.

How to create an elementary and collective search help in webdynpro

Thanks & Regards,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,
There's no difference to using a collective search help or a regular search help.
in the attribute of the context that you want the search helps to appear for - specify that the input help is of type dictionary search help, then specify that the input help is your collective search help.
Search helps in WDA, if search help is available at dictionary level, no need to create any search help, you get automatically.
If you want to create search help for any input field, another option is using OVS. we have WDR_OVS component for search helps, you need to reuse this component in your custom component, just change some coding according to your requirements you get search help.
Go through these documentation and helps...

Strange Issue With Search Help

Hi Experts,
I am stuck with a search help issue, when using a certain Help for an input field on my screen i am getting a "Value help dialog canceled" cancelled error , the same search help seems to be working fine
when run from sap r/3.
I am pretty sure the design part (Attribute binding and mentioning the search help in the context ) is correct and how it should be.
Could Someone Please throw some lite on this issue.
Thanks In Advance,
Chaitanya.

Hi Chaitanya,
When reusing DDIC search helps in WDA, it may not always work as desired. Calls to classic screens in search help exits for example is one of the scenarios that works pretty well with SAPGUI but doesnt work with WDA.
The following links may be of help!

Org structure Search help

In my WDA I would like to display an Org structure and allow to select Postion or Unit.
In standard ABAP I would use a Search help for this - something like H_RMPS_DEPARTMENT.
Could I do this in WDA?
Thanks a lot.
Tatyana

Hi,
You can use the dictionary search help in WDA too. For the context attribute for which you need the search help select the Input Help mode as "Dictionary Search help" and then provide the search help name.
You can also develop a freely programmable search help too. Refer to the below link for more details-
http://www.divulgesap.com/blog.php?p=NjQ=
Also you can develop a search help using Object Value selector concept (OVS). Refer to the below link for more details.

Strange Issue with Photoshop - HELP

Hey
I am having troubles with a PC that has photoshop on it.
IT wants me to activate it with an unlock code. So i go through the entire process for that, and once complete it closes down. I reopen it and it asks the same thing again. No matter if i try to register now or later it will close down.
There are some photos on the PC that i need to get off. Every time i try to photoshop will not let me as i can not open the program.
Is there anyway around this?

Hi Karthick,
Use OVS help. It will take your inputs for search and give you corresponding search value list.
Refer my blog, it will be helpful.

Calling different views at runtime based on my condition abap webdynpro

Hi friends,
Could you pls help me in this issue.
I am new to webdynpro abap.

basically its a sales order linktoaction. when i click it, i have to check a condition.
if process type = A,
then navigate to view 2(different abap webdynpro component's view)
elseif process type = B,
then navigate to view 3(different abap webdynpro component's view)
endif.
I only have experience in calling one view for a action, so i dont have much idea on this how to acheive.
I have this IF condition, on action event.ON that i need to call view of another application.
thanks in advance,
Niraja

Hi Niraja,
If you want to pass parameters to a WDA application you can pass them by URL link.
Example: http://...?pass1=value1&pass2=value2 In this case you pass two parameters to the application.
In WDA application you can control parameters in windows, you can add parameters in the plug 'Startup' which names are same as URL parameters, and then you can create notes/attributes in the context of windows then map them to the context of view. In the method of startup plug you can pass the parameters to the context of windows. You can search WDA help by WDA application parameters.
You can check this [link |http://****************/Tutorials/WebDynproABAP/DynamicViews/Window.htm]for dynamic view navigation in a window. And no its a pdf file. It takes you to another website where they have explained it with step-by-step screenshots.
You may also be interested in checking out this [link |http://****************/Tutorials/WebDynproABAP/views/navigation.htm]where they have explained Navigation from one View to other View along with parameters using Plugs with out using Component Controller context. It too isn't a pdf & does take you to another website.
Hope these help.
