Hi adrian,

if you looking for this .. [http://flic.kr/p/8vvxKF|http://flic.kr/p/8vvxKF]

then you must use method report_attribute_error_message .

trigger validation event on any action , if validation fails report as attribute erro message for getting the red frame on the inputfield

sample code :

DATA: l_current_controller TYPE REF TO if_wd_controller,
          l_message_manager    TYPE REF TO if_wd_message_manager.
    l_current_controller ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).
    l_message_manager = l_current_controller->get_message_manager( ).
*     report message

    l_message_manager->report_attribute_error_message(
        message_text  = ' Not an interger value 
        element = l_element
        attribute_name = 'ATT_NUM'
*        PARAMS        =
*        MSG_USER_DATA =
           ).

HI adrian,

For displaying the message in your desire area in the view .. just add a message area UI element in your view ..

in the below pic the message will display below the button

since there is no parameter for the area is there only one area allowed? or does it take the area in group i.e.

Hi Guys,

from the SAP help

>With components that you want to use in several applications you should never use the MessageArea UI element, since each window is allowed to contain only one visible MessageArea at the most.

Think this addresses why you are seeing multiple and can't update them separately.SAP didn't design it to do that...

Sorry it doesn't help allow you to do this, but at least it explains the behaviour seen.

As an aside, I'd always go with the default of having messages on the top of the screen - users get used to having it there.
