Active-X Control (Web Dynpro for ABAP)

[Former Member]

Hi.

Can I use a active-x control released from my customer in WDA?

This active-x control help to select many files for uploading.

Is it possible to do this in WDA?

If it is possible, Could you let me know how to use active-x controls in WDA?

Hi Etnaya,

Create static html file with embedded ActiveX and use IFrame UI element to embedd it to WD View (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/15/c07941601b1d09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm).

Is your application going to run in the Netweaver Portal? If so you might consider two separate iViews. You could host the ActiveX control in one iView that is implemented as a BSP page. Once the upload is complete, the BSP application could trigger a portal event that is caught to by a separate WDA iView. There are also ways to pass the content of the files on the server side from BSP to WDA (server cookies, database import/export, memory export/import, etc).

Hi Etnaya,

Using any kind of ActiveX or Applet is not support by Web Dynpro. Using the suggestion above is possible, but you need to be aware that the control won't be able to hold its state. It will be reloaded with each roundtrip.

Best regards,

Thomas
