How to set focus on a field

Hi:
I have a form in IDM and I need to set the focus on a specific field after an action, but i don´t know how to do it.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.

You'll need to create a javascript snippet that uses the onload function for the page and sets the active field within the JS function that is called by onload. You can apply the JS into your form with:
<Field>
<Display class='Javascript'>
<Property name='script'>
<String>
function setActiveField()
document.FORMNAME.FIELDNAME.focus();
window.onload = setActiveField;
</String>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>

How to set focus on a custom PO Item screen field when in error?

Hi All,
I have an interesting situation that i'm wondering if others have solved. We have extended the PO item table (EKPO) by adding two new fields. We then have implemented two BAdI's: ME_GUI_PO_CUST and ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST to add them to the ME21N/ME22N/ME23N screens and logic to do some validation, via these respective BAdI's mentioned. Everything works perfectly - with one small issue. When we are doing some validation via a method on the ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST - and "invalidate" the field (and throw an error) when it is in error - I also want to be able to "set focus" on the field in question (basically: go to the particular tab on the ME* screen and highlight the field). I have tried using SET CURSOR FIELD ***** within this BAdI (ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST) - but doesn't seem to work. Has anyone tried to do this and have come up with a solution? Would be much appreciative if you shared it!!! Thanks much.
Cheers,
Matt

Just have a look at oss note 310154 - ME21N/ME51N: Customer-specific check, generating error log.
In short:
Add your error messages in EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 (using specific macros).
Sample code (provided in Oss note) :
loop at tekpo where knttp eq 'X'.
    loop at tekkn where ebeln eq tekpo-ebeln and
                        ebelp eq tekpo-ebelp and
                        kostl eq space.
      if not tekkn-id is initial.
        mmpur_business_obj_id tekkn-id.
        mmpur_metafield MMMFD_ACCOUNTINGS.
      endif.
      mmpur_message_forced 'E' 'ZE' '777' '' '' '' ''.
    endloop.
endloop.

Hallo Praveen,
have you controlled that id of the Linktoaction ? there you made error.
See it in the ViewElement designer .
should be something like this
lr_elem = view->get_element( 'LTA_name ' ).

How to set focus on a input field in a selected row of a table?

In a previous discussion (http://scn.sap.com/thread/3564789) I asked how to access an input (sap.m.Input) field of a selected row in a table. In the answer that was supplied I was shown how to get the items of the table. Then using the selected index to get the selected item get the cells. Then I could set editable on the proper cell(s). This worked fine.
Now I need to set the focus on one of the fields. I tried something like this:
            var oNewLink = table.getSelectedItem();
            var oNewLinkName = oNewLink.getCells()[1];
            oNewLinkName.focus();
But this doesn't seem to work.
I have searched through other discussions and have seen this technique for putting focus on a field if you have its ID:
sap.ui.getCore().byId(id_of_the_input_field).$().focus();
In my case though I do not have an ID since the row and its cells are generated. How can I set focus on the cell of a certain row in a table?

Hello Venkatesh. Yes that code does work. First I tried it on a table cell that was already rendered and it did work. The next time I tried it on a table row that was being added and it did not work there. So I added an on after rendering function for the table and added that code there. That did not work until I added a delay (timeout) to do a context switch before calling the focus and that worked.
Once last thing though sometimes when I call focus on an input field (actually in a table row cell) if the field has text in it already the flashing cursor is at the beginning of the text and other times it is at the end of the text (which is the desired way). It depends on where I click in the row. Is there anyway to make sure the flashing cursor is at the end of the text when the focus is applied to a field that contains text?

How to set focus and mark red on certain select option field

hi experts
I embedded a select_option view in my application and tried to use IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS->request_focus to set focus on a certain select option field if the logical check failed, and also hope the low field of the select option can be marked red....but things does not happen that way....
could anyone kindly tell me how to implement that requirement?
tkx and regards
sun

What is the problem you are facing in this ?
Requesting focus is easy.
just call the method request focus and pass the id of the parameter whose lower value field you want to focus.
as shown below.
code you might have written in wddoinit
DATA: LT_RANGE_TABLE TYPE REF TO DATA,
        RT_RANGE_TABLE TYPE REF TO DATA,
        READ_ONLY TYPE ABAP_BOOL,
        TYPENAME TYPE STRING.
    DATA: LR_COMPONENTCONTROLLER TYPE REF TO IG_COMPONENTCONTROLLER,
        L_REF_CMP_USAGE TYPE REF TO IF_WD_COMPONENT_USAGE.
*   * create the used component
L_REF_CMP_USAGE = WD_THIS->WD_CPUSE_SELECT_OPTIONS( ).
IF L_REF_CMP_USAGE->HAS_ACTIVE_COMPONENT( ) IS INITIAL.
    L_REF_CMP_USAGE->CREATE_COMPONENT( ).
ENDIF.
    WD_THIS->M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS = WD_THIS->WD_CPIFC_SELECT_OPTIONS( ).
    WD_THIS->M_HANDLER = WD_THIS->M_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS->INIT_SELECTION_SCREEN( ).
LT_RANGE_TABLE = WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->CREATE_RANGE_TABLE( I_TYPENAME = 'ZDEALERID' ).
* * add a new field to the selection
WD_THIS->M_HANDLER->ADD_SELECTION_FIELD( I_ID = 'ID'
IT_RESULT = LT_RANGE_TABLE I_READ_ONLY = READ_ONLY ).
code for focusing a field.
wd_this->m_handler->request_focus( i_id = 'ID' ).
you must have declared attributes m_handler and m_wd_select_options type reffering to IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS and
IWCI_WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS respectively.
and regarding that red color i am not sure it is possible without using message manager.
thanks

How to set focus on invisible input field?

Hi Guys,
I need an invisible input field and have to set an input focus on it. My problem is that if I set input fields property visible=blank, I get my invisible field BUT the function call doesnt work (setInput.requestFocus()).
I suppose that I cant set a focus if an input field is invisible.
Does somebody know how can I solve my problem? Is there a possibility to do this input field invisible with java script? If yes, how does it work in Web Dynpro?
Thanks
Marita

Hi
Setting a focus on invisible input field will not work even if you follow the method what sowjanya has suggested. The method wdThis.wdGetAPI().requestFocus() will not work for read-only and disabled fields.
By the way why do you want to set the focus on a invisible input field. If you can tell us the requirement maybe we could think of an alternate solution. But i guess for the current scenario setting focus on invisible input field does not work.

How to set focus on field having data type other than character(eg. NUMC)

Hello all,
I have developed one screen having table control inside. In table control suppose if numeric type field is blank(eg. Employee number of data type NUMC), system should throw error message and should put cursor focus on that perticular filed. In the same table control for fields of data type 'CHAR', I have done this using 'SET CURSOR FIELD' .
Please, suggest me how to set cursor focus on the fileds of data type other that character(eg. NUMC)

Have you tried it? SET CURSOR FIELD ... works fine for type 'N' fields in a table control. The restriction is 'character-type' and 'flat'. Type 'N' (or NUMC-like) fields are both.

How to set focus on an input field by coding?

Dear friends,
Do you have such experience if we can set focus on an input field by code?
Thanks and best regards,
Anders

Hi,
There are two ways to set the focus of an inputfield.
1) In the BSP page add the attribute focus to an inputfield and set it to true.
Ex: <thtmlb:inputField id = "test"
focus = "TRUE"/>
2) Using the P-getter in the case where the inputfield is created using the config tool.
Ex: CASE iv_property.
WHEN if_bsp_wd_model_setter_getter=>fp_focus.
rv_value = abap_true.
ENDCASE.

How to set the 'default to' field of a dashboard prompt to yesterday?

Hi everyone,
I have a dashboard prompt on a date (fully qualified name Date.Date and type Date).
I also have a simple report with two columns: Date.Date and a mesure (whatever the name).
I managed to filter on the day before the current date in the report by adding an advanced SQL filter:
Date.Date = Cast(TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY,-1,@{system.currentTime}) as Date)
Now, I would like the prompt to select the day before the current date by default.
The filter on Date.Date would be 'is prompted' or so.
How do I set the "Default to" field of the prompt?
Thanks in advance

Hi
go to your prompt..
select SQL Results from Default to: dropdown..
here.. you need to write your Logical SQL..
which defaults to the previous date
some thing like this..
*select case when 1=0 then anydate column else timestampadd(sql_tsi_day, -1, CURRENT_DATE) end FROM SubjectArea name*
write like this.. and report back...
Thanks & Regards

How to set focus on the title of JTabbedPane

I have created a JTabbedPane and added three JPanels to it. They are titled, say "Panel 1", "Panel 2" and "Panel 3". And each of them contains buttons and text areas. Since this app is for physically disabled users, it must provide navigation through these three tabs with keyboard operations only (i.e. without mouse clicks).
When the title "Panel 1" gets focused, users can go to "Panel 2" by the right arrow key. When Panel 2 is brought up, however, the title "Panel 2" does not get focused. Instead the first button inside panel 2 is focused. In order for users to navigate to 'Panel 3" by the arrow key, the title "Panel 2" has to be focused. How do I set focus on the tab title?
I have tried 'requestFocus()' on Panel 2, but it does not work. Please help me with this issue. Thanks in advance.

I'd be quite interested to know if this can be doen as well so I thought I'd post this message to move it to the top of the board.
Thanks.
