WebDynpro App Input Focus

[former_member205400]

On my WebDynpro App i have an input field that I want to have focus when it is displayed.

On the Implementation section I have this init code

public StartView(IPrivateStartView wdThis)

{

this.wdThis = wdThis;

this.wdContext = wdThis.wdGetContext();

this.wdControllerAPI = wdThis.wdGetAPI();

this.wdComponentAPI = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent();

}

I'm thinking I should add something like:

wdComponentAPI(name).getfocus();

Anyone get what I'm talking about?

Hi,

You can try it:

IWDInputField field=(IWDInputField)view.getElement("InputId");

field.requestFocus();

Put this code on wdDoModifyView of your View class. This method pass parameter firstTime, you can use its to set focus only at the first load.

Best regards

Awesome .. it works .. only drawback is when I press the button on the screen after filling the input box is it stays in the field, i.e. as if it will never release focus.

Hi,

Are you using the firstTime parameter to execute this code only at first time?

public static void wdDoModifyView(IPrivate<view name> wdThis, Iprivate<view name>.IContextNode wdContext, com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDView view, boolean firstTime)

{

//@@begin wdDoModifyView

if (firstTime){

// Execute the code

}

//@@end

}

I have this implememted, but when i push the button it takes me back still.

public static void wdDoModifyView(IPrivate<view name> wdThis, Iprivate<view name>.IContextNode wdContext, com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDView view, boolean firstTime)

{

//@@begin wdDoModifyView

if (firstTime){

// Execute the code

}

//@@end

}

Hi,

I think that the last focus will be maintained after click, you can do a workaround, on the action, you can set a property that indicate the modifyView do set the focus to button.

Best regards
