Assign Function Keys in WebDynpro

[MichiFr]

Hi,

is it possible to assign/alter the functions keys in a WebDynpro? I need to trigger an action if the users presses e.g. F2, F3, F4 or any other function key.

So is this possible at all or are those key strokes handled by the web-browser and not by the WD-application?

Hi and thanks for this answer.

I've seen this attribute before. The problem is, however, that the application should probably run on barcode scanners terminals which do not have and CTRL or SHIFT keys on their keyboard.

This mean that I need to handle plain F1-Fn keystrokes in the WebDynpro.

You probably have larger problems then the lack of F-Keys. Web Dynpro ABAP doesn't support mobile rendering. Therefore unless your barcode scanners run full Internet Explorer or Firefox (not mobile device versions), the rendering won't work anyway. For ABAP based development for mobile devices, consider SAPConsole, ITSMobile or BSP based development.
