Open external window from custom controller

I have to write code to open an external window. It should be done from the custom controller and not from component. when i use the following code i get error " The method getWindowManager() is undefined for the type IWD Controller.

IWDController component = wdThis.wdGetAPI();
IWDWindow helpWindow =

               helpUrl,
               "help",
               false);

Opening secondary window from javahelp window activated from modal dialog

hello,
has anyone had this problem before? I open javahelp from a dialog with setActivationWindow(modalDlg), but then, opening secondary windows from that javahelp appear hidden, unreachable because of the modal windows (the dialog and the help window). is there a solution for this?

Christian,
This problem is occuring on 2 machines which has Java 1.5. But rest of the machines which has 1.5,1.6,1.4 are supporting modal windows. So not really sure whether its a browser issue or JRE issue or it is how the modal windows behave in an inconsistent way. Really need a solution for this problem as early as problem.

Safari 5.1.1 opens all windows from previous session

Since updating to Safari 5.1 (maybe 5.0 not sure) Whenever I begin a new session (open Safari from the closed state), it opens ALL the windows I had previously viewed in the previous session! Now, I can plainly see a "button" to do this trick in the History Menu (Open All Windows From Last Session), but I'm NOT clicking on that menu item. It happens exactly when I open Safari. I've looked everywhere for a preference or option to turn that "feature" off, but, Alas, I have not found anything to do so. Mind you, these are NOT windows I had open all at the same time in my previous session, just that I may have been searching for something and either had a bunch of windows open to compare items or used the little tiny red button in the upper left hand corner of the window to close that window and then sometime later, opened a new window with a different URL. Once, it opened so many windows that it ground the dual CPU's to a near halt. I had to shut it down with the power button because "Force Quit" wouldn't come up. This has really been agravating.
I'm desparate. Any ideas on how to fix this would be very appreciated.
My equipment is: 24" iMac 2.8Ghz Core 2 Duo / 4GB RAM / 750GB HD purchased in 2007 OS X Lion 10.7.2.
Thanks,

Thanks, that is much more descriptive then the discussions message above.
How To Disable Lion's 'Resume' Feature
Wednesday July 20, 2011 7:00 pm PDT by Jordan Golson
Resume is one of the main new features to OS X Lion, one taken directly from iOS:
Now apps you close will reopen right where you left off, so you never have to start from scratch again. And when you install software updates, you no longer need to save your work, close your apps, and spend valuable time setting everything up again. With Resume, you can restart your Mac and return to what you were doing — with all your apps in the places where you left them.
Now, this feature might be all well and good, but what if you want your Mac to behave like it did in Snow Leopard? Resume can be easily disabled, but the option is fairly hidden.
Head to System Preferences and select the General tab. At the bottom of that page is a checkbox labeled "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." If you uncheck that, your apps will continue to behave as they did in Snow Leopard.

How to get the reference of the View controller in from Custome controller

Hi friends,
From one of the Custome controllers in my Component,I am raising a popup based on conditions.
I want to subscribe to popup buttons.
Following is the code that I have written.
IF LT_RECEIPTS_T[] IS not INITIAL.
    data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
    data lo_api_component type ref to if_wd_component.
    data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.
*BREAK-POINT.
    lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
    lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
    lo_window         = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                       window_name            = 'W_PERSONALCARDPOPUP'
                       message_display_mode   = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
                       button_kind            = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_okcancel
                       message_type           = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none ).
    lo_window->open( ).
    DATA: view_controller TYPE REF TO if_wd_view_controller.
    view_controller = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
    CALL METHOD lo_window->subscribe_to_button_event
      EXPORTING
        button      = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
        action_name = 'OK'
        action_view = view_controller.
as I am In Custome controller,wd_get_api is returing of type if_wd_controller,but the subscribe_to_button_event
requires action_view of data type if_wd_view_controller.
but,my problem is that I can keep the view only Custome controller.
when I pass the 'VIEW_CONTROLLER' variable to method subscribe_to_button_event,I am getting the error as type missmatch.
Please suggest how I can rectify this error.
Regards,
Xavier.P

Hi Xavier,
You try this
1. Define an attribute in your custom controller to hold your popup window reference for e.g lr_popup of type if_wd_window
2. Store the popup window reference in lr_popup when calling your popup
lo_api_component = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
          lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
          wd_this->lr_popup = lo_window_manager->create_window(
                          window_name = 'W_PERSONALCARDPOPUP'
                          message_display_mode = if_wd_window=>co_msg_display_mode_selected
                          button_kind = if_wd_window=>co_buttons_okcancel
                          message_type = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_none ).
         wd_this->lr_popup->open( ).
3. Define the custom controller usage in the properties of your popup view
4. In WDDOINIT of your popup view write the following
DATA lr_custom_controller TYPE REF TO ig_<Custom Controller>.
        lr_custom_controller = wd_this->get_<Custom Controller>_ctr( );
        lr_custom_controller->lr_popup->subscribe_to_button_event(
     button = if_wd_window=>co_button_ok
     action_name = 'OK'
     action_view = wd_this->wd_get_api( ) ).
5. Define the event handler for OK in your popup view

Works for me if I middle-click a bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar and browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground is set to true.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

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 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,

Custom RH9 WebHelp skin: Problem opening PDF file from custom button

Hi, I've been troubleshooting and checking forums trying to figure out how to get a PDF file to open from a custom button on my WebHelp skin. It worked for me once upon a time, but I changed something in the document and tried to upload the new version and it has errored out ever since.
I want to have the ability to open the PDF in a new window from the custom button (called 'Printable PDF' on my skin), so I am using the following custom JavaScript in the 'Click On' field of the the custom button's components: window.open('print_test.pdf','printWindow','menubar=0,resizable=0,width=900,height=500,scr ollbars=1'); I know the script is good because I have the same script for the Support custom button and it works great. The only difference between those scripts is the Support script calls an .html file instead of a PDF and the window names says 'supportWindow' instead of 'printWindow'.
I've tried deleting and recreating the custom button, changing the JavaScript with a developer's help, generating the help on another machine thinking it was a glitch with my browser (using IE8) or RoboHelp license, and combing the help files numerous times. I've also ensured that the PDF file is stored in the skin and project folders along with the other project files/folders. I've used previous versions of RoboHelp and had no problems attaching a Word document and PDF, so I'm wondering if this is a bug in RH9?? Especially since it worked for me initially. Any assistance and/or fresh ideas are welcomed! Thank you!

Hello again
Happy I was able to help.
MOTW is only present and affects things when you are running content off your local C drive. It's value is in preventing that Yellow Information Bar and all that from appearing when you are using IE. Once you publish content to a server and access it that way you are in a different security zone and MOTW has no influence either way. So there would be no adantage to enabling it before publishing to a server. The only reason you might want to consider enabling it would be if you were copying the WebHelp to everyone's hard drive and having them run it from their hard drives.
Make sense?
Hope so... Rick

Safari 6.0, what happened with option to open with windows from last session?

Made the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and realized that I don't longer have the option to open Safari with windows from last session (Preferences->General). The option has been removed:

They don't. I can access them by history ->reopen all windows from last session, but that's not what I want.
Does anybody else have this problem or is it just me that lost that option on Preferences -> General?

I don't want Safari to re-open all windows from last session; can't make it stop. Set Safari preferences to new window and new tab open with blank page, but it won't.

P.S. Also cleared cache and History. Running OS 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.

I hate this "feature", and it is another example of Apple taking functionality (and choice) away from the user. In this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4550
there is a description of it.
Resume in OS X Lion
When you open Safari in Lion or restart the Mac, Safari automatically restores the open windows and tabs from your last browsing session, so you can continue right where you left off.
Tip: To open Safari without resume, hold down the shift key (⇧) as you open Safari. Safari will then open with the options you selected in the "General" tab of Safari preferences, options like your homepage.
In Mac OS X v10.6 and Microsoft Windows, you can choose to have Safari automatically restore your windows in the "General" tab of Safari preferences.
99 times out of 100, I DON'T want to restore all the windows from my last browser session. It makes zero sense for them to take the checkbox out of the General tab of the Safari Prefs.

How can I open new window from a link in another window?

Hello everyone!
Can anyone help me with my problem. I need to open a child window from a link in the mother/master window. Actually, the link that would open the child window is directed to a servlet that retrieves data from the database. The data will then be displayed in the child window. I don't how to open a new window with the data retrieve (thru the servlet) displayed in it. I'm using model 2 architecture (Servlet-JSP).
Thank you in advance and more power!

Or you can use something like this,
Click and in your test()
<script language="javascript">function test()
      document.form_name.target="_blank";
      document.form_name.action="/test/servlet/LoginServlet";
      document.form_name.method="post"
      document.form_name.submit();
}</script>
Here "/test" is your application context path.
If you want to open the link in the named window then use,
document.form_name.target="your_own_name";

Open popup window from non graphic window

Hi All,
i'm trying to open a popupwindow of one of my classes, but i
have no parent reference in the current class that i'm working
with, how can i refer to the main application window?

If you have a model for your application state, use this:
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
applicationComplete="this.onApplicationComplete()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function onApplicationComplete():void
// Component map
this.model.map["app"] = this;
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
You will be able to refer to this.model.map["app"] as the
parent of your popup window from anywhere in the application.

Open external URL from Homepage Framework

Hi,
We are building our new ESS functionality with Homepage Framework and I need to create some links to external URL. I would like them to open in a different window with no portal header at all. They should appear as services listed in the menu area. While this seems easy, I had tried several things with no success.
First, I created an URL iview in portal content. I marked the option "launch in external window" to Open in a separate window.
I create a resource that pointed to this Iview, and linked resource with a "java webdynpro" service, service with subarea and subarea with area. The service link is displayed correctly but it is always opened in the portal page, not in a different one. Have i forgotten any parameter that would make this work?
A second approach was to create a resource that includes the URL and an associated service, marked as "Direct URL launched in separate window".
This succeds in calling the URL in a differeny window but it adds some strange parameters at the end. So instead of calling http://www.google.com it calls something like http://www.google.com?sap-ext-sid=2J*HeTVW7295w3QWBZhQow--

While some pages can ignore those extra parameters, in other cases, this causes a "page not found" error.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance to all.

Hi Daniel,
Define Resource: you have to mention all the below details
1. object name :http:// (url ).
2.window name: "".
3.window Property : target="_blank".
and also check define service:
service type: Direct url launched in a seperate window.
And assign resouce to service -
>
service to sub area--->
sub area to area---->
area to areagroup.
hope it helps............,
Thanks,
