Webdynpro - selectable images

[Former Member]

I watched and read about images that were selectable. Only it was done in Adobe Flex Islands. I'm currently on Netweaver 7.0 - no enhancement packs. So I can't use Adobe Flex.

Is there a way using just Webdynrpo to create this? I'd like to have many different images that you can scroll. Then when the image is clicked - something happens.

Hopefully I'm making sense.

Thank you!

(Here's the link to the demo.) I want to be able to do something similiar to the product images.

Sorry, but there is no such image presenation UI element in Web Dynpro - therefore making it a nice example for the usage of Islands. Besides the scrolling/layouting, there is also no action triggered when clicking on a button. Could perhaps simulate something kind of similar by building a table with one column - holding the image as a cell editor. You would get scrolling of the images via the table. You could trigger selection via the LeadSelection of the table. Not as facy as the Flex version, but functionally similar.

I'll try putting the image in a table. I hadn't thought about that.

Thank you for the quick reply!

Hi Michelle,

If you use the link to action UI element you can also supply an image and event on the click of the image (you don't need to supply text) - this might be helpful if you had other information in the table that you didn't want to trigger the event (if you were just using the lead selection event). I often use this to replace a "button" in my applications where the standard WD button design is not what the application requires.

Hope this helps,

Chris
