Autocomplete in Web Dynpro

How to enable Auto-complete in web dynpro abap?

just like in sap gui, client side every inputfield entered value gets stored, as and when we press back button in the inputfields it lists previously entered values list.

HI Abhimanyu,

Web Dynpro for ABAP doesn't have any kind of autocompletion unlike SAPGUI. It think we can get AJAX support in the upcoming version.

Hello,

I am also interested in the topic. Is the auto-completion feature already on any netweaver basis requirements list?

We have already the first complaints about this (mainly power users).

You talk about AJAX support in the upcoming release which sounds nice.

Is there any source where I can get more information about the benefits for WD ABAP?

Thanks,

Christian

Hi ,

Check out this presentation from Thomas Jung which talks abt EPh1 and also AJAX in the upcoming packages.

Although we have added AJAX support to the WD framework in EnhP1 and used it for drag and drop and other UI elements, it is not yet available as an Autocomplete mechanism. We are looking at the possibility to have some form of autocomplete value help object in EnhP2 but that is not a promise that it will definitely be in there next year. There are many items be designed and built for EnhP2 already.
