External Window: How to notify parent window of update

[annette_jann]

I have a parent window containing a table with several entries of instances, clicking on one entry opens one of these instances in an external window (I do not want to use modal windows for usability reasons, as this one is quite big, and you can not move modal windows). I can change the instance in the new window. No I want to tell its parent window that something changed (trigger a update) and close the window above.

I already saw some entries here about closing windows, but my question is how to tell the parent that something changed?

Thanks in advance for suggestions, Annette

Annette,

Inevitably, this requires a dose of client-side JavaScript that should pass value to WD application. Unfortunately, this scenario is unsupported by either WD Java or ABAP.
