Open Collaboration Rooms in External Window

Hi Community,
I´m trying to find a way which allows me to open Collaboration Rooms from the MyRooms tab in an external window.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do so?
Thx in advance!
Best Regards,
Andreas

The _blank command only works when your navigating to a new
URL. What you're doing is loading your image into your .swf file.
If you want it to open in a different browser window you will
either need to use some sort of javascript or create an html page
with the image in it and navigate to that page on a button press or
something, then setting your target to _blank will work.

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

Tree Structure - Is it possible to Open a Pop up/external window on select

Is it possible to Open a Pop up/external window on select of any Leafe node or a parent node?
My requirement is to create a webdynpro screen which depicts the transaction :

Is it possible to do that in tree structure?
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ayyaparaj,
Thanks for ur reply.
but i cant use a table here. I just need a tree structure..
I guess Its posible by writing a code for a external window open in the onselect method itself.

 If the PDF document is in the server then we can show that in the external window onClick of the button.
Write this code in the onAction button event.

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

How to Close external window?

Hi Experts,
1) For one of the development requirements, I am required to open my application in
external window. For the same, I have changed the property of the iView and page to
launch the iView in an external window and not to display in content area. Now, I am
able to display the application in a new window as per the requirement.
Now, I want to close this window from a button event on the screen, but can't find a way to close it.
If anyone's having an idea over it, that will be greatly appreciated???
2) Also, in another application, I am downloading data into excel sheet and the download
opens in a new window. Once the user clicks on the option (SAVE, OPEN, CLOSE),
the blank window should close which works well in IE 7 but in IE 6 the user says the blank
window is visible and they have to close it manually.
I am using the following code for this:
excelCSVFile = new FileInputStream(f);
IWDCachedWebResource cachedWebResource = null;
if (excelCSVFile!= null)
cachedWebResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource
excelCSVFile, WDWebResourceType.getWebResourceType(
"xls","application/ms-excel"));
cachedWebResource.setResourceName(fileName);
wdContext.currentVn_XL_SheetElement().setVa_Resource(cachedWebResource.getURL());
workbook.close();
* BEGIN: Open new window: download button
IWDWindow win = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getWindowManager().createExternalWindow
(cachedWebResource.getAbsoluteURL(),"Print Content",false);
win.setWindowSize(0,0);
win.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.ADDRESS_BAR);
win.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.MENU_BAR);
win.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.TOOL_BAR);
win.removeWindowFeature(WDWindowFeature.STATUS_BAR);
win.setWindowPosition(200,200);
win.show();
* END: Open new window: download button
For this if I try win.destroy() or win.close() or win.hide(), after win.show
this doesn't shows the download options at all (quite obviously ).
I want to close this blank window automaticaaly once the user selects
any option for download. Is there any solution to this or am I doing something wrong?
Helpful answers will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gaurav Bhardwaj

Hi Gaurav,
If the external window contains the view of the wd component then only you can close the window.
Try like this:
Create a context attribute of IWDWindow in the calling view - component - called view and map them in all controllers.
//set the context attribute in calling view
win.show();
wdContext.currentContextelement().setWinref(win);
* END: Open new window: download button
In onActionxxx event of the downlload button
// close the window
wdContext.currentContextelement().getWinref().destroyInstance();

Siva

How do I make my page links open up within the same window?

I am completely stumped. By default for some reason, every single link I have on all my pages opens up in an external window rather than within the same window. I can't find anywhere to turn this off. I have my hyperlinks open to my other pages not an external page. Please help!

Are these text based hyperlinks that you created? If so then go to the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane and make sure the checkbox to Open link in new window is unchecked.

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?

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

Error while opening the external window

Hi
I am trying to open an external window on click of a button.
This is the piece of code I have written
url = "http://www.google.com";
url = java.net.URLEncoder.encode( url ) ;
String title="External Window";
//IWDWindow win=wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(url,title ,false);
IWDWindow win=wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(url,title );
win.show();
//win.open();
I have tried both show() and open() method. and also createExtrenalWindow and CreateNonModalExtrenalWidnow. But I am getting the follwing error.
Application error occurred during request processing.
Details: com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.sal.core.DispatcherException: The requested deployable object 'dc.gs.com/osrch' and application 'http:' are not deployed on the server. Please check the used URL for typos.
Exception id: [0017087D8739002C0000025600001B9C00045A7873FC3E52]
This is the URL it got in the external new window..
http://<host>:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/dc.gs.com/osrch/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com
I know the www.google.com is concatenating with portal URL , hence it is throwing the error.
How to get rid of the portal path
thanks
PK

hi,
You can try the following code:
IWDWindowInfo info = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("PopUpWindow");
 IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(info , true);
 window.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);
 wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_win(window);
 window.open();
This works fine.
Thanx.

Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies. How do I reverse this?

Help, I installed parallel and windows, and opened videos (on an external hard disk) with windows, and now cannot open them with Mac, and use i movies. How do I reverse this?

Paragraphs help the reader, just saying.
What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need "DVD size" folders if you're creatng an Archive on an external hard drive?
Also, I understand burning folders instead of individual photos or albums gives you more space on a DVD.
It makes no difference at all.
How can I keep the captions on my photos (not events) when I print or transfer to a new folder?
You can export while writing the metadata to the file in most cases.
Tne only way I know is to copy photos from the Windows to folders on my HD, then copy and paste photos or albums or events to HD, then create a new folder and fill it to the appropriate DVD size.
HD? Another HD? You use HD there in a way that makes no sense. What's the point of 'DVD size'?
I also thought I should download future photos to my Canon programming that comes with EOS cameras and edit and then decide which photos to save to iPhoto library and which to save only to my archival HD?
Does this have any relation to the previous questions? You know you can delete from iPhoto, right?
You're somewhat confused and you need to
1. Decide what exactly you want to do
2. Then go about it.
If I understand you correctly - and there's no guarantee that I do - the easiest thing is to bring all your Photos into iPhoto and do everything from there.
You can have an archive on an external disk, you can sort and select and edit with or via iPhoto

Why external editor Cs5 doesn't open in Adobe Camera Raw window?

I am workning in Apertute 3 and I want to edit some photos in Photoshop Cs5. I am working with RAW files, but when I want to open the file in external editor, it doesn't open in Adobe Camera Raw so I am loosing the Adobe Camera Raw adjustment abilities. Is there perhaps a way how to set up Aperture to comunicate with Photoshop Cs5 so it opens photos in Camera Raw window? I think in previous version of Aperture this was possible. Thanks.

Editing in the external editor (from within aperture) is only possible for Versions, not for masters, afaik. Since it would be pointless to export a Version again in some raw format, Aperture offers high quality lossless formats to export versions - tiff and Photoshop psd.
If you want to do the raw processing externally, you will have to edit the master image file:
export the master, or reveal a managed master and copy it to Photoshop, then reimport it.
To edit the master in Photoshop and to reimport it, you could use an automator service: I put a sample workflow and some instructions on how to use and modify it on this page: feel free to modify it according to your needs.

Open PDF in external window within browser?

My company's line of business app (we're an insurance agency) depends on the browser plugin to display PDF's that are attached to customer accounts. Unfortunately, the app displays the PDF in a small window that cannot be resized and requests to the software vendor to find another way to handle PDF's have been virtually ignored. To get around this, we've been disabling "Display PDF in browser" to force PDF's to open in the full Reader program. As luck would have it, at least one agency we do business with requires the browser plugin, otherwise it assumes we have no PDF program and asks the user to download Adobe Reader. So we have people constantly going back & forth, disabling and enabling the browser plugin. I looked at the SDK and there's a sample plugin to open a PDF in an external window. I loaded it up in Visual Studio and built the project, but it appears to not be working (maybe it's strictly for Acrobat). It would be awesome if there could be a button on the toolbar to open the PDF externally when you open it in a browser. Any ideas we can try? This image gives you an idea of what my end users are looking at.

This offer Adobe doc http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf States that you can use '&' instead of the '#'.

Application lock on open external window

Hi everybody,
I have problems with opening a new browser window pointing to a folder on the network.
If the user has access to the folder everything is working fine.
If the user has no rights to access the folder, the user gets an error message and the window stays empty. After clicking okay on the error message and closing the window the user can continue working in the application.
If the folder which should be display does not exist the user gets an error message.
After clicking oay on the message he can return to the application. But there the 'progress circle' is still running and it cannot abort or do anything! The user has to close the application and login again.
Is there a way to handle the external window in any way after having it opened and the calling method was left?
Any hint or advice is highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Roland

Hi,
Do this way... So that there will not be a minimise option, close option. and control will be there inside the Window and till the time user closes the window he cannot perform any actions on any other screens.
     //Added below code to open a new window
          IWDWindowInfo info =
               wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("WD_vendorTable");
//Where WD_vendorTable is a window with the desired view embedded inside it.
          IWDWindow win =
               wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createModalWindow(info);
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setVa_VendorWinName(win);
//Save this window information in a context variable(declared at component level and mapped to the parent view and to the window(child) view)
          win.setWindowSize(300, 300); //Desired window size
          win.setWindowPosition(600, 100); //Desired window position (from top left cornor)
          win.setTitle("Vendor Details"); //Desired window title
          win.show();
To close this window
create a button inside it and inside the button's action
IWDWindow win=wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_AssetNoWinName();
win.destroyInstance();

Srinivas.

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.

Opening External Window in Web Dynpro ABAP with URL disabled or Hidden

Hi Experts, I have a requirement where-in we want to open the Web Dynpro ABAP application using tcode WDYID (by passing the application name and startmode), but the URL of the newly opened explorer should be disabled or hidden. To achieve the same, I have created a component (lets name it PARENT) and inside that in DOMODIFY/DOINIT method have written code to invoke the required WDA (lets name it CHILD) in external window (by using lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW) and is successfully able to open the application with URL disable using different parameter of method CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW. But in this case there are 2 window which opens, one is for PARENT view and other is for CHILD. Now I only want to keep the second view (CHILD) to be opened and want to close the PARENT view. When I used EXIT_PLUG to close the PARENT window, it closes both the window. Need your inputs on my approach or if you have any. Regards, Harish

Hi,
If you open the popup, it opens as Modal Window, originating from Parent window. Without external window( where you can pass has_location = abap_false ), you cannot hide the URL/Address bar.
If you want to partially hide the URL( if you dont want to show the full URL with application path), you can create an Alias for the service in SICF.
Go to SICF, and create an alias for your WDA application; say original URL: domain:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/<ZAPPLICATION_NAME>
This URL you can convert( partially hide) as, domain:port/sap/<ANY_NAME>
Refer creating Alias in this help: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem320bw/helpdata/en/55/361a3c9c004866e10000000a11402f/content.htm
Hope this helps u,
