View Container UI element in a table popin dynamically

Question

Hello people,
I create a WD Table dynamically using the runtime class. I also create the table popin and then I set it in the table using the method SET_POPIN from the runtime class.
Now my requirement is that I should be able to add the 'View Container UI Element' into this popin so that I can embed any other views into this VC UI E. I cannot find a way in which I can achieve this. I am able to do it statically but not dynamically.
Even though it is suggested that such a design would lead to performance issues, but I have to achieve this.
Regards
Rohan

Hi Anita,
you cannot set metadata at element level of a node. When you set the metadata ( example mime type or file name ) for a particular element in the node , it changes for all the element. So you are always getting the file for the last row. ( most recent set metadata ).
Try using the inteface IWDCachedWebResource for file download.
For each row add a button, and associate an action "DownloadFile" for it. Use the following "onAction" for the said action. 
public void onActionDownloadFile(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
    //@@begin onActionDownloadFile(ServerEvent)
    int selectedIndex = wdContext.nodeFileTab().getLeadSelection();
    IPrivateView_pdfView.IFileTabElement file = wdContext.nodeFileTab().getFileTabElementAt(selectedIndex);
    try {
     IWDCachedWebResource webResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(
          this.
          getByteArrayFromResourcePath("/sapmnt/PCD/global/config/cm/etc/pdf/"+
          wdContext.nodeFileTab().getFileTabElementAt().getFilename(selectedIndex),
          WDWebResourceType.PDF);
     wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(webResource.getURL(),"Download File",true).open();
   catch(Exception e) {
     // take some action
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(e.toString(),true);
    //@@end
Hope you get a solution.
