How to navigate to URL embedded in FormattedTextView

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a a URL embedded in a FormattedTextView UI element:

I have implemented an action associated with this UI element and I know that the parameter HREF will contain the URL but I don't know how to redirect the user to the URL.

What is the necessary code?

Thanks,

Carolyn Fuller

Hi

You can create an external window using the URL which is present in the HREF parameter of WDEVENT

here is the sample code.

data link type string.
  wdevent->GET_DATA(
  exporting
    name = 'HREF'
    IMPORTING
      value = link

  ).
  data lo_window_manager type ref to if_wd_window_manager.
  data lo_api_component  type ref to if_wd_component.
  data lo_window         type ref to if_wd_window.

  lo_api_component  = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
  lo_window_manager = lo_api_component->get_window_manager( ).
  lo_window         = lo_window_manager->CREATE_EXTERNAL_WINDOW(
URL = link
  ).

  lo_window->open( ).
