Highlight the Screen InputField for wrong entry by User

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am developing a web dynpro abap application for password forgot functionality. in this regard we have a requirement that when user asks for password reset, he will be given a set security questions to be answered(we will compare the answers which are already there at ztable, which are given by user while registering).

so if the answer is not correct, i have to highlight that particular input field and give the message to re-enter the value,

this option is provided for 3 times only.

i can enable and disable ..but highlight that particular field is required in this scenario.

So please anyone who can throw some light in this is gr8 help.

Thanks in Advance

Error message need to be displayed next to the inputfield.

HI Sateesh,

Use the Message area UI element.

Place message area ui element below input field in your view.

Then automatically message will display below input field.

Sorry, but that isn't how messages work in WDA. All messages are consolidated into the MessageArea and you can only have one message are per view. This is designed for user experience consistency.

If you want what you describe, you can't use standard messages and the message manager. Instead you will have to put a non-visible textView after each inputField and bind to a context attribute for each. You can then place messages in there and show the textViews where necessary. However this sounds tedious as you must maintain all of this yourself.

Hi,

If you want to display error message side by the input field. As described in my previous reply you have to create 5 text views side by the input fields ., initially hide the text views if error occurs show them..

Hi Jabi,

use REPORT_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_MESSAGE to highlight field when error occurs.

if <condition>

*   get message manager
      data lo_api_controller     type ref to if_wd_controller.
      data lo_message_manager    type ref to if_wd_message_manager.

          lo_api_controller ?= wd_This->Wd_Get_Api( ).

          CALL METHOD lo_api_controller->GET_MESSAGE_MANAGER
            RECEIVING
              MESSAGE_MANAGER = lo_message_manager.

* report message
          CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->REPORT_ATTRIBUTE_ERROR_MESSAGE
            EXPORTING
              MESSAGE_TEXT   = 'Pick Quantity Should not be 0... '
              ELEMENT               = wa_temp          // your  element
              ATTRIBUTE_NAME = 'PICK_QTY'.   // your attribute
endif.

Cheers,
