F4 drop down button in Web Dynpro application

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I just started learning Web Dypro application, and I created one for displaying the invoice details when the user enters the document number and Fiscal Year using BAPI "BAPI_INCOMINGINVOICE_GETDETAIL" and it's running fine. But at the selection screen where user enters the invoice number i need to add F4 functionality, so while entering the invoice number user can just clicl on that button and it should behave like a F4 help.

Can you please help me in this.

Thanks,

Rajat

Data dictionary search helps are reusable in Web Dynpro ABAP. Just use a data element for the context attribute that has a connection to the Search Help you want and the framework will automatically use it. You can also force a particluar DDic search help in the context attribute properites.

Hi,

You can use the dictionary search help in WDA. Also you can develop a freely programmable input help or a Object Value selector (OVS). Refer my articles below -

What exactly would you like me to elaborate on? Are you familiar with Data Dictionary Search Helps? These aren't new or Web Dynpro ABAP specific techniques.

Have you reviewed the online help for the subject?:
