Hi,

use the below code to call the URL onAction of the Button,

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
"<place URL here example http:www.sdn.sap.com>",
"<description about the URL >",
false);
window.open();

Thanks Ramesh for the Reply,

But, the code you provided opens the URL in a new Window,

I want it to be In the same Window.

Please Give your helpful Suggestions.

Could you check using an iFrame UI element?

Take an iFrame UI element in your View,

Set the url "source" property of this iFrame on the click of button i.e, in the onActionButtonClick() ?

i.e bind this source property to a context attribute, set this attribute in the onAction method.

Hope this helps.

You will be able to solve it using IFrame UI Element.

If you are using CE, IFrame UI Element is not available. You have to use IWDIFrame to create the iFrame. Though this method is deprecated, but if I understood your problem correctly, this will solve your problem.

Thanks
