Fire plug on another window

Question

Hi All,
I need to use a popup window that has a startup plug that must be initialized. The window contains a view that is referenced from another DC (That means that the only way to communicate with it is via plugs).
I know how to do the popup, but I don't know how to call its startup plug directly from the code.
The final scenario should be as follows:
1) The initial view has a button
2) When pressing the button the referenced view is displayed as a modal popup (I need to pass parameters to this view).
3) In the popup there is also a button that when clicked sends the selected information and closes.
4) The selected information is displayed on the initial view.
Thanks,
Aviad

Hi Aviad,
For creating and getting the values from one window to other you can use the Events. Follow these steps:
1) Go to the Component controller. Create a new <i>EVENT</i> there, say <b>setValue</b> and a Method say <b>setFinalValue().</b>
2) Create a attribute of type string in controller context, say <b>text</b>.
3) In the 1st window from which you want to pass the value, create a METHOD, say <b>SettingValue();</b>
4) In this method (ie:<i>SettingValue()</i> ), write a code to set the value of text and call the event of the controller.
To the the value of text:
wdThis.wdGet<Controller_Name>().wdGetContext().currentContextElement().setText("Any Value");
To call the event:
wdThis.wdGet<Controller_Name>().setFinalValue();
5) In the controller code write this code in the setFinalValue method.
public void setFinalValue( )  {
    //@@begin setFinalValue()
       wdThis.wdFireEventSetValue();
    //@@end
6) In the next window where you want to access this value create a Event Handler in the View of it.
<i>Methods-> New - >Event Handler-> Next -> Give name (say <b>setTextForCell</b>). Select the Event Source (ie: <i>Name of the controller</i>) and set the subscribed Event (ie: <b>setValue</b>).</i>
7) In the implementation write this code to get the set value
public void setTextForCell(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin setTextForCell(ServerEvent)
       String text = wdThis.wdGet<Controller_Name>().wdGetContext().currentContextElement().getText();
     Use this value anywhere you want
    //@@end
I hope this will solve your problem.
