SAP CRM Navigate from custom search page to email component

Question

Hello Experts,
I implemented my own search page and added a link on every row of the returned query that should direct me to the email component eg. CRMCMP_CCS_EMLV.
I did something similar with Business partners and Task and it works. For BPs and tasks I managed to identify the object type and name associated to each of them and then I dynamically navigate to the components required.
The way I did it for tasks for instance is:
DATA:  lr_entity TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_entity,
lr_col TYPE REF TO cl_crm_bol_bo_col.
DATA:  lr_nav_descr      TYPE REF TO if_bol_bo_property_access,
             lr_nav_serv       TYPE REF TO if_crm_ui_navigation_service.
lr_entity = lr_core->get_root_entity( iv_object_name = 'BTOrder' iv_object_guid = lv_guid ).
CREATE OBJECT lr_col.
lr_col->if_bol_bo_col~add( iv_entity = lr_entity iv_set_focus = abap_true ).
CALL METHOD cl_crm_ui_descriptor_obj_srv=>create_ui_object_based
  EXPORTING
    iv_ui_object_type   = 'BT126_CALL'
    iv_ui_object_action = 'B'
  RECEIVING
    rr_result           = lr_nav_descr.
lr_nav_serv = cl_crm_ui_navigation_service=>get_instance( ).
lr_col->if_bol_bo_col~insert( iv_bo    = lr_nav_descr iv_index = 1 ).
*   start the navigatiostart the navigation
lr_nav_serv->navigate_dynamically( iv_data_collection = lr_col ).
My question is whether doing the same for emails is possible and if yes can someone please share his/hers knowledge?
I guess that there should be a root object associate with emails like there is BTOrder for tasks.
Once the correct root object is identified I will need the object type (like BT126_CALL for tasks) to create the ui_object_based
Thank you for you help,
K

Hi mimimaker,
According to your description, I think the function that you want to achieve is navigation rather then Seach in SharePoint 2010.
For achieving navigation in the current site, you can do as the followings:
Activate SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature at site collection level (Site settigs->Site collection features).
Go to a subsite, activate SharePoint Server Publishing feature at site level(Site settings->Manage site features).
Then go to Site setttings->Navigation under Look and Feel.
On the Global Navigation section, select “Display the navigation items below the current site”, and un-select “Show pages”.
On Navigation Editing and Sorting section, click Global Navigation
Then click “Add link…”
Type a title, and browse and select the page that you want to use in the navigation
Click Ok
Then the title will display on current site global navigation, you click it, it will automatically go to the page.
Repeat the step 2-9 for each subsite.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy
