How to distinguish the field on which event is triggered? (ABAP Web Dynpro)

[Former Member]

I have an application where there are multiple input fields in the layout. After the user clicks search help for the input field and selects a value, some action has to be performed for each input field. Currently, I am coding the required action in "WDDOMODIFYVIEW" method. This method will be called whenever there is any action on any input field (as its name says), but how can I distinguish on which input field the method is triggered? or How can I know on which field the search help has been triggered?

or I would be happy to implement any other solution if available.

HI Deepak Dakshinadi ,

You can implement OVS in your input field.

In the event ON_OVS you will get the value of the attribute OVS_CONTEXT_ATTRIBUTE which can give you the id of the input field in which OVS is implemented.

I think by using this you can distinguished among your input field and based on which you can do your particular coding.

Check the link for implementing OVS.

and check the forum to get the id of the field of that particular search help triggered.

I am not implementing OVS in the context, we are going with Dictionary Search Help. I would like to know which input field is selected or focussed when it requests for search help.
