implement a Formatted TEXT

[Former Member]

hello guys

Is it possible that we can implement a Formatted TEXT edit to be used in our view other than the one we already have available in WD.I need one that allow more formatting and Text color and other more features. If so please explain to me how.

Your help and support is highly appreciated.

If you are on NetWeaver 7.01 you could use FlashIslands to integrate the Flex Rich Text Editor. I have a tutorial that does just that:

The other approach that I have used in the past is to combine BSP and WDA. If you use NetWeaver Portal you can create two iViews - one for BSP and one for WDA and place them in the same portal page. The BSP can contain the BTF text editor or some open source text editor (I've used the CKEditor project in BSP in the past - http://ckeditor.com ). The WDA and BSP can then communicate with each other via Portal Eventing. I use this very example in the SAP Press Book - Next Generation ABAP Development.

In NetWeaver 7.02, the iFrame UI element is no longer deprecated. You could then potentially embed the BSP application we describe above directly inside the WDA page.
