Where is the PageLayout

[faebulicious]

I cannot choose PageLayout in my View's containers. I just checked the repository and there i can see the class CL_WD_PAGE_LAYOUT exists on our System. Other EhP1 Functionalities like D'n'D are working?

Do i have to activate something? Any suggestions?

Thx

PageLayout needs to be set in the root UI container:

 The PageLayout must always be used as a root element of a view. It should only be used once in an application in the top view of the view hierarchy.

[ PageLayout from SAP Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/46/231c2ca38614dbe10000000a155369/frameset.htm]

We should both probably be chastised here - you for not searching the SAP help, and me for just posting a link to it...

But certainly not a lot of use is made of this UI layout element - so perhaps the mods will forgive us both

Thx for your reply. I allready read the help (that's how i found out about this kind of layout). since this is not a ui element but a layout i should be able to choose this kind of layout on my root container? i just have flow layout, matrix layout, and others but no page layout.

Hi Fabian,

sorry my fault, good to see that some people on the forum are using the help

have you looked at how it is implemented in DEMO_UIEL_PATTERN?

Cheers,

Chris

hmmm. have a lot of demo applications, but cannot find this one. i have EhP1 and SP3, maybe this feature has been activated by a SP4 or later. I seems that SP3 is still very buggy...

Hello Fabian,

Page Layout is something different than other layouts.

Your rootuielement must be Transparent Container, you need to swap it to page layout,

Now I see it! The Root Container has to empty to provide the swapping! It work!

Many Thanks!
