hi, Vishesh.

CL_WD_UTILITIES has many useful method. From my experience, i share you with one of them:

CL_WD_UTILITIES=>CONSTRUCT_WD_URL

This is very helpful when you want to redirect to another WD application from one WD application, using "Create_external_window" passing the URL .

* get the URL of the called application
  CALL METHOD CL_WD_UTILITIES=>CONSTRUCT_WD_URL
    EXPORTING
      APPLICATION_NAME              = 'ZTEST_CALLED'
    IMPORTING
      OUT_ABSOLUTE_URL              = lw_url.
lo_window = lo_window_mg->create_external_window( url = lw_url ).
  lo_window->open( ).

Also in SE24, you can also read the other 3 methods the class provides, and for detail, you can search them in Google or other place like SDN.

Best wishes.

Hi Vishesh,

the class is mainly used to do at runtime actions/creation of ui elements.

The method you describe is to fetch the text at runtime and reuse this to

e.g. add the found text as a label text. It comes down to do the otr selection

for the attribute in the develoment area at runtime, where the framework would

do this if you declared it at design time.
