Open a new outlook email with Abap Web Dynpro

[rafamano17]

Hi Experts,

I'm developing an abap web dynpro application, and at the end of a text I need to have a link that opens the outlook for sending and email, do you know how can this be done with ABap Web dynpro.

Regards and thanks.

Hi,

You can use linkToURL ui element with property "reference" having the value like "mailto:<mail-id>@domain.com".

Thanks,

It should be noted that just relying on the browser handling for the [url mailto: reference|http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/htmlweb.html] does not guarantee handling by any specific email application. It is completely up to the browser implementation - The HTML 4.0 spec does not specify any handling other than:

MAILTO URLs have the following syntax:
mailto:email-address
User agents may support MAILTO URL extensions that are not yet Internet standards (e.g., appending subject information to a URL with the syntax "?Subject=my%20subject" where any space characters are replaced by "%20").

Then again - given that WDA supports so few browsers (user agents!), you could probably get around the different support in each them in a reasonably common way.

To ensure that it is MS Outlook you are launching and potentially pass more data into that email you'll need to make use of the [ACFExecute functionality|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/47/b91539878a2d67e10000000a42189c/frameset.htm] and then also the [command-line interface of Outlook.|http://www.brighthub.com/office/collaboration/articles/21840.aspx]

Hi,

CReate a link to URL ui element. For the refernce property give it as ; mailto:email id

You can hard code some value , it will open default outlook new email template with the mail ID mentioned,

You can also supply this using context attribute. Prefix the mail id with "mailto:" key word.
