Most recently used values.

In ABAP screens, the user can enter backspace in an input field and get a drop down of most recently used values. Has anyone implemented this or similar concept in Web Dynpro ? How to go about doing this ?

Thanks.

Even in classic dynpro ABAP screens, this isn't a function of ABAP. This is the SAPGui doing this. The Gui keeps a small database on the client to store these values.

I would think that it would be unlikely to build such a function into Web Dynpro via the server side - however there might be a nice feature to suggest for the future of the Windows or Java based Client.

Kris,

There is no such functionality in WD (at least, in WD Java). Also implementing same functionality is quite problematic: in WD it is impossible to assign key listeners and to do some on demand values loading (like Google Suggest).

The most closest equivalent is tracking most recent values entered and then displaying them via <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webdynpro/tutorial%20on%20advanced%20value%20help%20and%20object%20value%20selector%20-%209.htm">OVS</a>.
