Fill a dropdown based on value selected in another

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Well first of all am sorry to post this question in spite of many threads existing over the same. I did go through all of them & couldnt quite make my mind as to how I could proceed.

My scenario is an online interactive form so I dont need to go for the Web Services functionality. I need to be able to trigger an action when I select a value from the 1st dropdown & then capture this action within Web Dynpro ABAP. I tried selecting a Exit* event with the first dropdown & then selected the language as Java Script. I then created an action by name Exit within Web Dynpro ABAP & assumed that the system would automatically trigger the ONACTIONEXIT eventhandler method. But this isn't happening.

Is my assumption wrong? The reason why i came up with this approach was coz I was capturing the CLICK event of a button in the Adobe form by creating an eventhandler method by name ONACTIONCLICK.

Hi,

I tried as per Chintans advice in [here|;. I have placed a TextField & submit button within my form and within the Dropdowns exit event am capturing the selected value through JavaScript & trying to trigger the Submit button. I have put the below mentioned coding within my dropdowns exit event.

xfa.host.messageBox("value is :"+this.rawValue);
TextField1.rawValue = this.rawValue;
submitToSAP1.execEvent("click");

I do get a MessageBox with the selected text, the TextField does get populated with the text but the submit button isnt getting triggered!

I have also put the below coding within my Web Dynpro components WDDOMODIFYVIEW method to just be completely sure...

METHOD wddomodifyview .
  DATA: lr_interactive_form TYPE REF TO cl_wd_interactive_form,
        lr_method_handler TYPE REF TO if_wd_iactive_form_method_hndl.

  CHECK first_time = abap_true.
  lr_interactive_form ?= view->get_element('IF1').
  lr_method_handler ?= lr_interactive_form->_method_handler.
  lr_method_handler->set_legacy_editing_enabled( abap_true ).
ENDMETHOD.

But things aren't still working out... Anyone please advise as to why this button might not be working. (The button is of type Regular)

Hi Experts,

I finally managed to resolve the issue. I followed the approach suggested by Chintan in the thread which I was talking about. I had to change my layout type from xACF Layout to ZCI Layout.

The problem was that I was somehow not being able to trigger the click event of the submit button through JavaScript coz of this layout type. I thought that this might be coz of the xACF required software not being installed on my system but surprisingly I can interact with another adobe form which is having the same xACF layout. Anyways just thought to update the other members that shifting to ZCI layout helped resolve my problem.
