How to restrict transaction type in customized activity pop-up

Question

We have created a custom workcenter link for search enhancement of activities. We copied the work center link and are calling the same component as in std search but a different customized configuration with added and deleted fields in search criteria. This works fine. Now the requirement is to restrict the 'transaction types' available when we click on the 'new' button in the new custom activity search page. As this pop-up emanates from the std component, it can not be functionally configured (because that would restrict the 'transaction types' while creating new activity in std componnet) but should be technically handled. Please advise.

Hi Amar,
Solution here is to let the framework know who is caller ?
That is, when pop up is opening, you have to put a code in this pop up view to understand who is invoking this pop up , Is it the search page of std. component configuration or is it the custom search page configuration ?
So have a static attribute in some Z class, you can use your IMPL class also for that matter, Now whenever you know that its custom config i.e. in DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION, read the role key( i assumed that you have a role key for your custom config)
and if its custom role key, then set this static parameter say ZCUST_CONFIG = abap_true else abap_false (this is must to reset it using else as this is static attribute )
Now, in your pop_up view, read this static attribute as XXXX_IMPL=>zcust_config , and if true, then you know that the pop up is invoking from custom config, so do the coding to remove the unwanted transaction types.
and you are done !!
Hope it helps you.
Thanks & Regards,
