SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR alternative available?

[alejiandro_sensejl]

Hello everyone,

is there a way to tell the user what's happening when he must wait for something?

Currently sometimes (e.g. when selecting data from the backend) an animation is displayed in the middle of our web dynpro application. That looks quite nice, but we want to display a text there additionally to increase the usability.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Alej

The waiting icon and text are not extensible in Web Dynpro.

Consider using the TimedTrigger (in 7.0 and 7.01) to run a process in a separate thread and update the status to the user. In WDA 7.02 we have a new feature called Notification Service that allows a much lighter weight approach for sending updates to the client side and therefore making such a progress indicator much easier to build. You still have to run your processing in a separate work process (via CALL FUNCTION ... STARTING NEW TASK).

Hello Alej,

for that purpose you might use the UI element 'ProgressIndicator'. It is contained in WebDynpro application wdr_test_ui_elements.

Best regards,
