Open view in an external window?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

This is the scenario:

In my WD i have a initial view with a selection criteria for search documents (like POWL) when you select one and push the button 'Display' I start a navigation to another view to display the details...

Now the client wants to change that. When the user push the button 'Display' a new external window must be opened.

With the method CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW of the class IF_WD_WINDOW_MANAGER i need an URL that i haven't for call this view.

Then, is necessary to create a new Webdynpro Application in my component in order to do it? Or is there any other way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Should it be absolutely a external window ?

You can use a create_window method of the IF_WD_WINDOW_MANAGER to show it on a popup window.

Hi Baskaran,

I know that. but, yes, should be an external window.

That means that it is going to run on its own session(display application). It better to create a separate reusable component and create a application.

Use CONSTRUCT_WD_URL method of the CL_WD_UTILITIES to build the application url to use for external_window
