Non-Model External window issues

I was trying to open non-model external window but application isn't opening the window, can any body tell me whats wrong with my code:
TestReport report = new TestReport();
byte[] pdfData= report.getReportData();
IWDResource pdfResource = WDResourceFactory.createResource(pdfData, "TestReport.pdf", WDWebResourceType.PDF);
String urlToFile = pdfResource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.AUTO.ordinal());
IWDWindow pdfWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(urlToFile, "View Report");
pdfWindow.show();
Actually I was trying to open pdf document in external window but nothing is opening, so I just made it simple and nothing happened.
IWDWindow pdfWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow("http://www.yahoo.com", "View Report");
pdfWindow.show();
thanks

jawed,
IWDWindow pdfwindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow("http://www.google.com","google");
pdfwindow.show();
is correct.
Not sure that why it is not showing. check the action is being called.
try casting too
IWDWindow pdfwindow = (IWDWindow)wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow("http://www.google.com","google");
pdfwindow.show();
but this one not needed. just give a try.
in firefox, you can set enable popups to show popup windows

Printing Non Modal External Window - print out additional blank page

Hi All,
I am printing out a content of a web dynpro view as a non modal external window with the browser print functionality.
Even if the content of the web dynpro view is not more than the half of a page the browser print functionality prints 2 pages. The second page is a blank page.
I tried to change the external window size in web dynpro, but it is still printing 2 pages.
How can I set / configure the browser print functionality, so it prints only the page that contains the web dynpro view content?
Thanks,
Yasar

Hi,
I'm guessing the concurrent program is outputting text (character mode) as opposed to PDF?
This could be a number of reasons:
1. Printer driver issue, e.g. the number of lines printed on the page is more than is defined for the printer driver: Try reducing the "Rows" on the current program definition
2. Printer PRT issue, extra page break could be being inserted.
3. The "box" in the report definition containing the address could be being expanding due to the extra address line, but not enough space so it forces a new page to be printed.

Position of an non modal external window

How is it possible to set the position of an non modal external window?
I've tried it over
window.setWindowPosition(new WDCssSize(500,WDWindowUnitOfLength.PX),new WDCssSize(200, WDWindowUnitOfLength.PX));
and also over
window.setWindowPosition(500,200);
The result is always the same, the window is shown on the top left.
Best regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I tried the same. The code I tried is:
IWDWindow pop1=wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow("http://www.google.com","google");
     pop1.setWindowSize(512,600);
     pop1.setWindowPosition(50,100);
     pop1.show();
Its working fine for me. Even I tried changing the parameters for size and position. It worked fine.
Just 1 thing I noted in you post. You gave the code as:
window.setWindowSize(512;400);
although I think it should be
window.setWindowSize(512,400);
I do not know whether it was a typo or its in the application(it would have been syntax error in your application).
I am using IE 6.0. May be its something to do with the versioning.
Regards.

[PC / Mac] Modal vs. Non-modal ScriptUI windows issue

Hi,
in Photoshop ScriptUI 'dialog' Windows are supported (they're modal windows), while 'palette' Window's behavior is peculiar (they're non-modal, and as long as there's something going on in the script, they keep displaying - otherwise they automatically close). Apparently, this is different in InDesign (for instance), where palettes can stay idle - at least this is what I've been told.
I've found a couple of workarounds to work with palette Windows (my goal is to show them in order to let the user interact with either PS and the script's GUI - just like you'd do with regular panels and extensions - that is: to work with them as non-modal, idle palettes that mimic extension behavior), namely:
// usual Window stuff
win.show()
while (isDone === false) { // isDone is set true in win.onClose() etc.
app.refresh();
or
var s2t = function(stringID) {
return app.stringIDToTypeID(stringID);
var waitForRedraw = function() {
var d;
d = new ActionDescriptor();
d.putEnumerated(s2t('state'), s2t('state'), s2t('redrawComplete'));
return executeAction(s2t('wait'), d, DialogModes.NO);
// Window stuff
while (isDone === false) { // isDone is set true in win.onClose() etc.
waitForRedraw()
The problem is as follows:
1. They both work on Mac, either CS5 and CS6
2. app.refresh() seems to work on PC + CS5, but not PC + CS6
3. waitForRedraw() fails on both PC + CS5 and PC + CS6.
Mind you: When I wrote that the workarounds fails in CS5 and/or CS6 on PC, I mean that the 'palette', idle windows are modal and not non-modal as it is on Mac (which is my main coding platform).
[EDIT] Further testing has shown that PC palettes are... halfway between modal and non-modal. For instance, you can click on menus, but not select a Tool; you can collapse or drag a panel, but not access its content. You can't absolutely click on the image - for instance I'm desperately trying to enable panning on PC palettes: no way, you can't have the Hand tool to click&drag the image. For some reason, a "soft-scrolling" is enabled (on my MacBookPro, two fingers scrolling in all directions in the trackpad - but how to mimic this behavior in a desktop PC with no trackpad I don't know). Weirdly enough, the trackpad's "soft-scrolling" works in all directions on PC + CS5 64bits only, either CS5 @32bits, CS6 @32/64bits goes up and down only, no left/right allowed - frankly, to deal with platform-dependent issues is one thing, to take into account 32/64bits too is... ehm...
So, to sum up there are big differences in the ScriptUI behavior depending on how platform and PS version are combined:
PC, 'palette' Window:
CS5 + waitForRedraw() = modal
CS5 + app.refresh() = non-modal
CS6 + (app.refresh() OR waitForRedraw()) = modal
Mac, 'palette' Window:
(CS5 OR CS6) + (app.refresh() OR waitForRedraw()) = non-modal
Is there any... "working workaround" to make on PC CS6 a 'palette' ScriptUI Window to keep a non-modal, idling behavior? (the unasked question is: why is that palettes are behaving as non-modal in CS5 and not in CS6?! )
Thanks in advance!

Closing the NonModel External Window in Webdynpro

Hi,
I have a Webdynpro Application, in which i used to call the webdynpro application in a Separate external window by using the below code.
String depObjectName =wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart().getDeployableObjectName();
WDDeployableObjectPart depObjectpart=WDDeployableObject.getDeployableObjectPart(depObjectName,"TestApp",WDDeployableObjectPartType.APPLICATION);
String url = URLGenerator.getApplicationURL(depObjectpart) ;
*// Code to Popup the View in External window by calling the Application *
window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(url,"Update View");
wdContext.currentContextElement().setCtx_WindowInstance(window);
window.setWindowSize(625, 225);
window.setWindowPosition(50, 75);
*window.setTitle("Update View"); *
window.show();
This opens the Separate external window and after editing some fields, I need to Update the DB and close the window.
When i try to use the code,
window.destroyInstance();
The window is not getting closed. I have used the window instance as the static IWDWindow window, still i am not able to close the window.
Anyone Please let me know how to close the External Non Model Window.
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hi Sekar,
my suggestion is to open another window that contains html code which invokes opener . close() on the parent window - your window to be closed. This worked for me and made my day.
I open an HTML file created as IWDCachedWebResource as nonModalExternalWindow over a LinkToAction which invokes onActionClose. There is a second window opening for a short moment which will be closed by its onLoad event.
The HTML code is basically sporting a < script >-section which contains a call to opener . close().
regards,
Christian
Ps: sorry, I can't post the code - it simply does not work... Had the same problem days ago with another thread .

Opening an External Window which shares the same context.

Hi,
I have a requirement where I need to open an external window which shares the same context. (i.e, A window which belongs to the same application in a seperate browser)
If I use the following coding it only opens a model window in the same browser.
IWDWindowInfo winInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("NewWindow");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(winInfo,false);
But if I use wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().CreateExternalWindow() it could only accept the URL that opens a seperate application with different context.
Please help me in this regard.

Hi Anbu,
Dont feel bad that i am asking you more questions than giving you answers.
if you just want to show content or let the user enter data or something you can use always popup modal/non modal window.
External window is used to refer to other website or other applications in otherwords referring other url.
So your workaround would be relaxing your requirement and redesign your application.
This is my view point.Probably some other expert sdn'ers might have better one you know.
Success !!
BTW- if you decided to follow nagarajan suggession then you have to use URL generator to generate the URL.Using static URL is depreciated and also wont work in your Customer places.

Hi Armin, Josue
Thanks for the reply
Please note I am able to open an external window( browser ) thru my code with "File" protocol.
I have no issue opening an external window or using File protocol.
I am able to open an image/doc with a normal URL as follows
File://mww/documents/image.jpg
or
File://mww/document/temp.csv
But My URL has some system( thru Other applications ) generated charaters in it , I need get the path from DB( which I have done ) and pass this URL to the ExternalNonModalWindow as paramter.
MY code is opening successfully the external window for any URL .
but for URL which has these character { } is throwing the invalid URL error
for the below URL, I am getting the error

Can I display 2nd view on external window ?

Hi all
I would like to implement the function that Output views come out on external window.
For example, OnAction method searches data from DataBase and the result appears on external window not original window.
Comparing this function to HTML, I imagine anchor with "target = BLANK".
I try to use 2 methods ,create_window and create_external_window, in if_wd_window_manager.
But I couldn't get my want.
Howcan I do ?
Please help.
Best regards
Tom

HI
there are two scenrios here.
1. creating a MODAL POPup window using create_window and this will create a window having the the second view with the desired data.
here in this case you have to create a comman context node in the comp contrl and use it both views. then
create second window and embed the second view in it.
now fill the data in the first view in the context node and then use the method create_window to create the modal popup
window and show your data here in the second view may be table or form (whatever you want).
2. second scenario is to create sn external non modal window itself which will open in a seprate browser window.
there how ever you cannot pass the context node itself. masimum you can do is pass url string paramters.
which you can fetch in the second application and disply the result accordingly.
thanks

How lock or hide URL LOCATION in a external windows WDA

Hello guys...
I am traying to hide or block the URL which i am using in a external window. I have coded this:
   call method lo_window_manager->create_external_window
exporting
   url            = lv_url
   modal          = abap_true
   has_menubar    = abap_false
   is_resizable   = abap_true
   has_scrollbars = abap_true
   has_statusbar = abap_false
   has_toolbar    = abap_false
   has_location   = abap_false
receiving
   window         = lo_window2.
*lo_window2->open( ).
But, firstly the MODAL parameter doesn't work with external windows (It's Obsolete) So I can't use it, because I have to forbid the navigation between windows. I tried to close the main windows before open URL but it doesn't work either.(Appear a waring that you window wants to be closed) so then I used that:
lo_windows->fire_exit_url_plg(
    url = lv_url                              " string
lo_windows =   wd_this->get_windows_ctr( ).
    lo_windows->fire_exit_close_plg(
      close_window = 'X'                     " wdy_boolean
That is Ok BUT I can't BLOCK the URL or even HIDE it. SOMEBODY give the light.!!!!! pleaseee..

You are complexing with 2 problem with 2 options.
1. Blocking url on the external window
2. Closing the previous window.
1. parameter model is indeed obsolete, so only has location parameter would help you to block the URL and it will not work for the requirement 2.
2. When you use exit plug and navigate to new URL, your window would close but new window would not open with address bar blocked.
No solution is fitting for your both requirements.
Probably you have seen this example application WDR_TEST_EXIT_WITH_CLOSE
See if it fits in your case.

Open View or Window in a external window (popup)

Hi experts!
I have the following issue:
- I know how to open a external window from a given URL, but my problem is that I want this new external window to open and show one of my own windows and I don't know how to get the window's URL. Any Idea???
Please help or redirect me to some doc or post. Thanks.
Osvaldo Silva

Hi,
If you want the url of the another window in your WD Component. As per my knowledge you need to have a seperate application to be created for this window also.
For Example you have Window1 (View1 is embeded in this window) and Window2(View2 is embeded in this window). Now you need the url of the Window2.
So for this purpose you need to create two applications for this WD Component.
For example App1 (Created for Window1InterfaceView) and App2 (Created for Window2InterfaceView).
Now use this below code to open the Window2 URL in a sepearate window.
// Get name of deployable object this component belongs to
String deployableObjectName =
wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart().getDeployableObjectName();
Map urlParameters = new HashMap();
// If there are any application parameters you need to pass to App2 you can set those in urlParameters
// as urlParameters.put("key","value");
try {
// Get deployable object part of target application.
// Precondition: assume, that other application belongs to the same
// Web Dynpro Project (Deployable Object)
WDDeployableObjectPart deployableObjectPart =WDDeployableObject.getDeployableObjectPart(
deployableObjectName,"App2",WDDeployableObjectPartType.APPLICATION);
// Get target URL based on deployable object part and URL parameters
String urlToTargetApp =WDURLGenerator.getApplicationURL(deployableObjectPart, urlParameters);
//Open this urlToTargetApp in external window.
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager(.createNonModalExternalWindow(urlToTargetApp,"Window2");
window.show();
} catch (WDURLException e) {
messageMgr.reportException(e.getLocalizedMessage(), false);
} catch (WDDeploymentException ex) {
messageMgr.reportException(ex.getLocalizedMessage(), false);
Note:/Warning: We are opening another window using another WebDynpro application.
Here it creates a seperate WDComponent instacne. You can't access Window1(View1)'s existing context data in Window2(View2). The only way is you can pass some data using app/url parameters.
Apart from this as per my knowledge there is no other way to get the url for a Window.

Charan

10.4.3 External Keyboard Issue

Greetings,
I seem to be having an external keyboard issue. To give some background, I am on a fresh install of OSX, completely patched up to 10.4.3 via software update. I just purchased an Apple USB Keyboard and after plugging in the keyboard I noticed something funny with the keyboard layout. The HOME key doesn't work and the END key is page down, plus delete doesn't work at all. I tried plugging in this keyboard to my PC and it works beautifully.
Now I believe this issue is being caused by the iBook using the cramped keyboard layout and not the full key layout of the external one I just installed. Every piece of help information I find on the subject either points me to menu options that don't exist (my Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard menu is quite clean with only 3 options to adjust typing speed) and some of the topics on these forums don't seem to cover it, any suggestions?

Apple iBook G$ 1.33GHZ Mac OS X (10.4.3) Apple USB Keyboard

I just installed the 10.4.3 combo update and still no effect on the keyboard. A few help topics I found on this issue point me to changing the keyboard layout in international, but that isn't working at all. Some of the keyboard & mouse options the other help documents point to are missing as well. I have only 4 options for the keyboard options pane and none of them are about configuring an external keyboard so something must be wrong here.
I checked all the keys and it appears the iBook is recognizing the keyboard, however instead of modifying the input layout of the keyboard to the full size of the keyboard, it is applying the same key shortcuts that are on the iBook 12". So this means forward delete doesn't work, home and end are the same as page up and down. When I use control and any of the arrow keys I get the iBook key layout shortcuts such as page up/down and home/end.
Somewhere, I hope there is some kind of driver I can install to force the iBook to change the keyboard layout on my apple keyboard to a regular one instead of a shortcut version on the iBook.

10.5.6 Update USELESS!!! External Display Issues Still remain!

The external display issues remain, even after installing the update.
I'm sick of this!
Is it a hardware issue or software related?
Are the 9600 graphics chips defective?
Come on Apple and be honest to your customers, we all paid a lot of money for these systems!
Does anyone out there know where can I complain to?
I need an email address or something that is not directed at iphones or ipods!
Cheers.
<Edited by Moderator>

I'm not sure what to make of this at this point. I ordered a CTO 2.8GHz with 4GB RAM and 320GB HD the day they were announced. First week or so, few if any problems. Then the "UHF" like bands of static began to appear randomly. I use my computer 90% of the time driving an external monitor. I use a separate set up at home and work with duplicates of all cables. The problem occurs on both. I spoke with Apple Care - they patched me over to support and moved me up to Tier one pretty quick, even had me send in my System Profiler information for every combination of screen and graphics card. Then they emailed me a program to capture my monitor info again with every combination of screen and graphics card. No solution. They finally asked to "capture" my computer for their labs and sent me a new one.
Once again, about 2 1/2 weeks of smooth sailing and bam, same issues now occurring. If it's a driver issue, why is everything fine for so long? Also, 10.5.6 and the new firmware have failed to address. Given my above exchanges with Apple, they certainly can't claim they don't know about it.
I've been using Apple Products for a long time. I've seen some real buggy stuff - like when File Vault first came out but this is the worst I've experienced. Seems like poor quality control. If it's a select few machines, I appear to have won the lottery as I've had two of them.
I'm sure this issue is much more wide spread as it is a non-issue if you only use the internal display. Only people consistently driving an external display will even know there is a problem.

Buying New - Which models are Windows 7, 64-bit ready out of the box?

Have always had HP printers and love them. In reading the posts many questions are for Windows 7 and existing printers. I am in the market for a new inkjet for text. Don't want an all-in-one. Can anyone tell me which HP printer models are Windows 7, 64-bit ready out of the box? Store personel readily point to the "Windows 7 ready" stickers on display models, however, look confused when I press the 64 vs 32 bit issue. Thanks

Win 7 64-bit will install software and drivers written for Win 7 32-bit without any problems. I've presonally installed hundreds of printers on Win 7 64-bit without any problems. Do you have a specific printer in mind?
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

Problem with Absolute Navigation (External Window) and Light Framework Page

Hi All,
We are using Light Framework page for the portal devolopment. We have an application including two webdynpro iviews where absolute navigation is used to traverse from first iview to second iview (When user clicks a button on first iview). We are showing the second iview in external window (SHOW_EXTERNAL). When ever i clicks the button to traverse to second iview, i am getting an exception.
When we are showing it in same window (SHOW_INPLACE), it is working fine. But the iview is appeared in half of the page with scrollbars. It is working fine with default framework page (with both options SHOW_INPLACE and SHOW_EXTERNAL) and dispalyed in original size as mentioned in iview properties.
Could you please suggest us whether there is any work around for this.
Thanks,
Sudheer

Hi Kathiresan
I couldn't see the address bar of the window (In which second iview is getting displayed). But i can observe no parameters that i passed from first iview is visible in the view source of the second iview (When SHOW_EXTERNAL is used in absolute navigation). I could see all the parameters in the view source (when SHOW_INPLACE is used for absolute navigation). But i am using the same url for both the options (for SHOW_INPLACE and SHOW_EXTERNAL).
I doubt about the url being passed when SHOW_EXTERNAL option is used. But when we checked in debug, The correct url is being triggered (Atleast from first iview). Is there any way that could display the second window with address bar. What is making difference between SHOW_INPLACE and SHOW_EXTERNAL with absolute navigation and light framework page.
Could someone please suggest.
Thanks,
Sudheer.

Close External Window in Web Dynpro Application

Hi Folks,
I am working on a development in Web Dynpro and I am pretty new to this topic, so I seek your help.
The scene is:
I have created a Web Dynpro application in which I open an URL using CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW method of the Window Controller. I am able to open the window but not able to close it.
I tried using methods,
CLOSE()
and
SET_CLOSE_IN_ANY_CASE()
but no success.
Please guide me if anything more needs to be done for closing the opened window.
Thank you.
Sud.

Thank you Thomas,
You correctly pointed out, I was trying to close the external window from my source window.
More precisely, I have a WD application which has a button (Search) on one of its views. On click of 'Search' button, I open a new window using 'CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW' passing the URL 'www.google.com'.
Till this point its fine, but now I want to close this newly opened window. As you said now these are 2 different sessions and cannot communicate anymore, so any guidance how to close this new window?.
OR
Is this the only way to call an URL i.e using CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW? Is there any other way to call an URL without closing my current running WD application?
Request your help......
Thanks.
Regards,
