button to trigger action then call URL

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create a web dynpro button which when pressed triggers an action. Within the method of this action i want to execute some ABAP code then call a website URL.

Is this possible and does anyone know what the syntax for the URL call would be.

Thanks in advance

Hi Mart

Use this piece of code in the onaction method of the button

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.
lo_api_component  = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
CALL METHOD lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW
  EXPORTING
    URL            = 'http://www.google.com/'
  RECEIVING
    WINDOW         = lo_window.

lo_window->open( ).

Hope this helps u

Hi Tamil,

Is it possible to display in the webdynpro application itself instead of calling the new wondow?

Thanks

Hi Bryan,

You could call a web dynpro view which contains a UI element of type IFRAME, and within the attribute of the iframe element put the URL you want to display

Hi,

You can call a URL from the application itself by using EXIT PLUG.

you can use Exit Plug if you want to exit the application and move to new URL or if you want to come back to the same state of web dynpro application from the URL page in this case you have to edit the target application to resume the web dynpro applicaiton you have to use suspend and resume plugs
