Want Button Item to call popup window

I'm trying to put in a popup calculator next to a region item. I want to use an item button NOT a region button so I can put the button right next to the item. But in item buttons, I don't see an option on how to call a popup using a JavaScript call like:
javascript:callBMIPopup('P1432_ID');Can someone give me an idea? Even a small icon would work (if I could figure out how to get it in there as an item in a form region).

Not sure if I'm going in the right direction or not. I've noticed some awfully screwy things with the template I'm using : Blue and Tan. I made a copy of the existing button template and called it New_Button. Here's the template:
<table class="t2Button" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary="">
<tr>
<td class="t2L"><a href="#LINK#"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_2/button_left.gif" alt="" /></a></td>
<td class="t2C" #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#><a href="#LINK#">#LABEL#</a></td>
<td class="t2R"><a href="#LINK#"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_2/button_right.gif" alt="" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>I added the piece #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#. Thanks for your assistance. This is aggravating.

Datepicker PopUp opens in the calling PopUp window

Hey Guys, I need some help on this...
I have a button that opens a PopUp window, and in this PopUp I have a "Date Picker" item,
And when I want to select a date, the calendar shows up in the same PopUp window, and I m loosing the calling PopUp(the first one).
How can I do so, that to have my PopUp window, and the calendart to show up in another PopUp?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
that's because of the Window Name you specified. Specify another one or use the popUp2 method which will create a unique name.
Hope that helps

Not able to display the desired view if button is pressed in POPup window

Hi Experts,
I have developed a web dynpro application.In this i have created a pop up window which consists of three buttons YES , NO and CANCEL.
I have developed three event handlers in the view VIEW_POPUP which is acting as view of the pop_up window. When i click on any of these buttons no event handler is getting triggered.
Please give your suggestion as where the problem is.

Missing Shortcut under Conditionnal Item Display in popup window

Just under each Condition Type in APEX, we have nice Shortcut Like [PL/SQL] [item=value] [item not null]...
Do you know why you dont put these shortcuts in the popup windows in Conditional Item Display region when you active the Edit Links on the yellow bar ?
I'm think is missing.

Sylvain,
Thanks for pointing this out. We'll fix it. Note that if you edit a "button item" you see these quick links.
Scott

I want to eliminate or control popup windows that have no relevance and start with "open link in new window" . How do I control or eliminate. It is a nuisance.

When I am searching the web and click on an item, I get a pop up window that contains 6 choices beginning with "open link in new window". Most of the time this a nuisance and I want to get rid of it, but it follows me all over the page and keeps popping up when I click on the same item again. If I don't want to use it, how can I make sure it doesn't reappear?
Also, another question. Firefox keeps asking me to upgrade to Firefox 3.6.19, but when I try, it will download. What gives? I have a Mac Pro with OSX version 10.6.7.
Thanks,

It sounds that you are opening the right-click context menu, maybe by pressing the mouse button for too long.

Disable random Password generation button on Reset Password popup window.

Hi ALL,
We have a new requirement when user click on reset password tab on "Modify User" page, a pop up window will open with two options :
1) Manually change the Password
2) Auto-generate the Password (Randomly generated)
I want to remove or disable this 2nd option. Can you please guide me what necessary changes required?
Thanks,
Amit

It's easy enough to generate a random password. Use a
constant string containing your alphabet (different
systems have different rules about what characters
are allowed). Then us Random first to generate a
suitable length, then to pick a character from your
alphabet for each slot. If there are further rules
(e.g. "must contain at least one digit") then check
the password you've just generated and if it fails
the test, simply try again.
But this isn't a particularly good system. It allows
anyone to harrass a user by changing their password
if they can guess their user name.
The approach I favour is to send the user a one-time
click-thru URL in an e-mail which allows them to set
their password to anything they chose. That needs a
special table in some data base. You generate a
random token which acts as a one-shot password on a
special "change password" page. As soon as the click
through has been used then the database entry is
deleted so that the token is invalidated. You should
also invalidate the token if they log on in the
normal way.I agree that the 'forgot your password' feature is nasty. I mean, we are normally enjoined from saying "invalid user id" or "invalid password", we have to say "invalid user id / password combination" or something to that effect. But by providing the 'forgot your password' feature, it would be trivial to write a bot to see which sites provide this, determine a good page from a bad (e.g., valid user id) and then have an easier time brute-forcing the password. Sad.
On the other hand, I know personally that many companies are concerned with phishing attacks on their customers. As such, they have a blanket policy prohibiting any URL that hits a secured page in any way.
So, what to do? :^(

Button Item to open a popup window but not do a submit

Hi,
I want to open a popup using a button that is next to an item. I do not want a submit to occur.
I've followed the directions in Want Button Item to call popup window and the popup displays correctly.
However it also does a submit.
How to do I prevent the submit when this button item is pressed?

I copied the Button templates, called it "Javascript Button", and changed its code from:
<table class="t15Button" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary=""><tr>
<td class="t15L"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_15/button-l.gif" alt="" /></td>
<td class="t15C"><a href="#LINK#">#LABEL#</a></td>
<td class="t15R"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_15/button-r.gif" alt="" /></td>
</tr></table>to:
<table class="t15Button" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary=""><tr>
<td class="t15L"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_15/button-l.gif" alt="" /></td>
<td class="t15C"><a href="AAAAA">#LABEL#</a></td>
<td class="t15R"><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#themes/theme_15/button-r.gif" alt="" /></td>
</tr></table>where "AAAAA" is "javascript:#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#" (the markup wasn't working so I had to describe it this way).
I then put the script I want to execute in the Button Attributes and made the Request whatever. It's not very elegant but it does work.

Refresh only page item while submitting data from the popup window

Hi All,
I'm pretty new to Apex .....
I have a form with text items as first few entries and then a radio button list and few text items again. On selecting certain radio button I have a popup window which acts as an interface for the next text item in the calling page. The purpose of having the popup window is that the text item following the radio button takes the input with certain character delimiters along with the data. Instead of using delimiters while entering the data I want a meaningful data to be keyed in the popup window and all the string operation to be done as a background process. I have been successful this far. I'm using the below javascript on click of the submit button.
javascript:doSubmit();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
window.close();
On doing this I'm losing the values submitted for the items prior to the radio button(including radio button). Please note, I have a dynamic action set on page load to reset the values. Is it possible to refresh just the page item from the popup window.
Also, I tried excluding the window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH'); from the above javascript. It sets the item with the expected value (viewed it in the session items, however I would like to view the concatenated string on my calling page) but following this there is an insert operation which uses all the necessary items in the form. All values except the value returned from the popup window is populated into the table. Am I missing something.
Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Thank you!!!
Regards,
Ganesh

Value set using Javascript is only in your browser page but is not yet available in the session. This is why the report doesn't return the expected output.
Before refreshing the report you would need to set the session state of this item.
You can set it after you assign the item a new value or before the report is refreshed
For Interactive Reports, this is available built in
you can go to Report Attributes >Advanced Attributes -> Page Items to Submit and specify P2_X1 for the field(and any other page item that the report is dependent on)
For standard reports, you can create a Dynamic Action that is triggered "before refresh" of the report's region, and choose PLSQL as the action types, give a dummy BEGIN NULL END; for the code and specify this item name in the page item to submit field so that it sets the items's value in session.

Error when clicking other button after displaying Popup window

Hi,
I'm developing a custom page which calls a popup window in r12, below is the error encountered.
Error: Cannot Display Page
You cannot complete this task because you accessed this page using the browser's navigation buttons (the browser Back button, for example).
To proceed, please select the Home link at the top of the application page to return to the main menu. Then, access this page again using the application's navigation controls (menu, links, and so on) instead of using the browser's navigation controls like Back and Forward.
On my base page, I have other buttons like Save, Back, and the button to invoke the popup window. I can display the popup window without error, but when i clicked on the base page's other buttons after invoking the popup window, the error above is shown. I'm not clicking any browser's navigation buttons. Please let me know how to solve this error.
Thanks!

Hi,
Just want to update...
The error occurred because I have isBackNavigationFired checking, this becomes true when clicking the other buttons in the base page after displaying the popup. Is there a workaround where I can make this work without removing my back browser navigation checking?
Thanks!

Popup Windows Buttons

Hi,
we create the buttons when opening the popup windows , like as
lr_popup = lr_window_manager->create_window(
MODAL               = ABAP_TRUE
window_name         = 'CHGOFFER'
       "Name of the window created in step 2
TITLE               = 'Talep Deu011Fiu015Ftir'
CLOSE_BUTTON        = ABAP_TRUE
BUTTON_KIND         = if_wd_window=>CO_BUTTONS_YESNOCANCEL
* MESSAGE_TYPE        = if_wd_window=>co_msg_type_error
* CLOSE_IN_ANY_CASE   = ABAP_TRUE
* MESSAGE_DISPLAY_MODE = MESSAGE_DISPLAY_MODE
** Adds an action to the popup screen buttons
lr_view_controller = wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
lr_popup->subscribe_to_button_event(
              button = if_wd_window=>co_button_yes
              button_text = 'Onayla'
              action_name = 'APPROVE'
              action_view = lr_view_controller
              is_default_button = abap_false ).
lr_popup->subscribe_to_button_event(
              button = if_wd_window=>co_button_no
              button_text = 'Sil'
              action_name = 'DELETE'
              action_view = lr_view_controller
              is_default_button = abap_false ).
lr_popup->subscribe_to_button_event(
              button = if_wd_window=>co_button_cancel
              button_text = 'Reddet'
              action_name = 'REFUSE'
              action_view = lr_view_controller
              is_default_button = abap_false ).
lr_popup->open( ).
we can create only 3 buttons as 'YES NO CANCEL' with this method becase of IF_WD_WINDOW interface has type of WDR_POPUP_BUTTON_KIND.
But i want to create 5 buttons for my popup window. is it possible?
Can somebody help me pls?
Thanks.

As someone has already stated you can design as many buttons as you want into the view that you embed into the popup. However for the bottom bar of the popup, you can only work with the buttons that SAP provides. You can not add custom buttons into this bottom bar.
Personally when I have custom buttons, I go ahead and hide all of the standard buttons in the bottom bar. I recreate them on the same button line as my custom buttons so that the interface looks more consistent.

How to get the values from popup window to mainwindow

HI all,
   I want to get the details from popup window.
      i have three input fields and one search button in my main window. when i click search button it should display popup window.whenever i click on selected row of the popup window table ,values should be visible in my main window input fields.(normal tables)
   now i am able to display popup window with values.How to get the values from popup window now.
   I can anybody explain me clearly.
Thanks&Regards
kranthi

Hi Kranthi,
Every webdynpro component has a global controller called the component controller which is visible to all other controllers within the component.So whenever you want to share some data in between 2 different views you can just make it a point to use the component controller's context for the same. For your requirement (within your popups view context) you will have have to copy the component controllers context to your view. You then will have to (programmatically) fill this context with your desired data in this popup view. You can then be able to read this context from whichever view you want. I hope that this would have made it clear for you. Am also giving you an [example|http://****************/Tutorials/WebDynproABAP/Modalbox/page1.htm] which you can go through which would give you a perfect understanding of all this. In this example the user has an input field in the main view. The user enters a customer number & presses on a pushbutton. The corresponding sales orders are then displayed in a popup window for the user. The user can then select any sales order & press on a button in the popup. These values would then get copied to the table in the main view.

Conditional display of modal popup window?

Hi,
I'm currently implementing a file-upload in Apex 4.1. The workflow I envision is this:
*User selects the file and initiates upload
*The file is checked by some pl/sql code.
*Under certain conditions the user is asked if she wants to continue.
*The data is processed.
For the conditional user-dialog I wanted to use a modal popup window as described in http://shijesh.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/jquery-modal-form-in-apex-4/ and other places.
But how can I conditionally display this dialog dependent on the result of the file-check? I would need to call a java-script function from pl/sql - but how can this be achieved?
Any hints or examples?
Many thanks & kind regards,
stephan

stephanI don't think you would call the java-script function from PL/SQL as much as (maybe) use PL/SQL to write it - embed the Javascript code in the generated HTML of the page. Another option would be to put the JavaScript code as page or item attributes to be executed at run-time

While closing popup window screen freezes

Hello,
I have a main window that contains a button to show a popup window (POPUP_1). This POPUP_1 has some editable data by the user, if the user modifies this data and then wants to press the CANCEL button, I show another popup (POPUP_2) with a confirmation message ("do you want to exit without saving?"), and 2 buttons "YES" and "NO", if the user clicks "NO", I close POPUP_2 and POPUP_1 remains visible, however if the user clicks "YES" I also have to close POPUP_1 to get back to the main page.
Currently when I call POPUP_2 I use suscribe_to_button_event to an action "CANCEL_YES" in POPUP_1 and it's assigned as the action to the button "YES", in this event "CANCEL_YES" I use the code for closing the Window, in this case POPUP_1.
So, my problem is that after clicking "YES" in POPUP_2 both popups close, but the screen remains frozen (grayed out) like if there's still a popup open... and I can't do anything in the main window having to restart the application.
Has anyone had some problem like this, or do you know another way of closing both popups succesfully?
Thanks,
Luis.

Hallo Luis,
are you closing both windows in the "CANCEL_YES" event handler or you close only POPUP_1 ?
I would have done the following.
1. Created 2 Component controller ,public attributes go_popup1,go-popup2 of type if_wd_window.
2.Create a method close_popups and implement code to close first go_popup2 and then go_popup1.
3.On cancel_yes handler method call the close_popups method.

In MVC, do i need a View or Page with flow logic for POPUP window

Hi All,
I have the below scenario using the MVC pattern.
I have a main view with 3 trays, each tray has two buttons, for example first tray has Create Order button. When I click on this button, I need a popup window to come with a tableview and a button(Create), where I select some rows and click on the button Create to create order.
But as per the MVC pattern I canu2019t call the view (popup) from another view(main view). So should I create a VIEW or PAGE WITH FLOW LOGIC for the popup? .
I need 6 popup to be called from the main view and once the function is done close the popup.
Please suggest me the flow for this scenario.
Cheers,
Srini.

Srini,
1. You can call the view in pop-up because you will be calling the controller using open.window.
Here is the sample code:
method DO_REQUEST .
data:
        li_vw           type ref to   if_bsp_page,
        lv_form_field   type          string,
        li_md           type ref to   zcl_model01.
dispatch_input( ).
li_md ?= get_model( 'm01' ).
lv_form_field = request->get_form_field( 'invoice_create' ).
if lv_form_field is initial.
*------ Request to display main page
    li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'main.htm' ).
    li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
    call_view( li_vw ).
elseif lv_form_field eq 'true'.
*------ Request to display Invoice page in pop-up
    li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'invoice.htm' ).
    li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
    call_view( li_vw ).
endif.
endmethod.
Layout:
      function do_Invoice()
      { var s=0; r=1; w=300; h=300; x=screen.width/2;
        x=x-w/2;
        var y=screen.height/4;
        y=y-h/2;
        popUp=window.open('main.do?invoice_create=true','win','width='+ w
        +',height='+ h +', left=' + x +',top='+ y +');
Option2:
Ofcourse you can't bind the model in page becos those are 2 different things. But all you need to do is access the model to get some value. To know how to access the model from Page w/flow logic look at [this link|Passing model reference to a page in a Popup].
