Use my own Icons for display in Tree UI

[Former Member]

I've seen a few samples of the use of the Tree UI element but images being used for this element are typically referenced like so:

rootFolderContentElement.setIconSource("~sapicons/s_clofol.gif");

I have no clue where the ~sapicons/ location is? I'm assuming it is located somewhere locally on my box as I'm running the web as local. I have not found this location. So I have 2 questions.

1) Where is this location so that I can view the SAP Icons and possibly use what is already there.

2) Can I create my own icons and place them in this location or perhaps place them somewhere else? If so how can i link them for my Tree UI?

Hope this is clear. I'm very new to SAP/Web Dynpro and Java. (.net developer mostly)

Thx,

Hi Julian

you can also save whichever icons you want to use in your DC/project's 'src -> mimes -> Components ' folder

and while setting the icon source attribute or UI's property , you need to say just "<name>.gif"

Try this. I think by this way, you can make any gif as your icon

I tried using the gif file in my components folder as suggested below. It did not work unfortunately.

I do see the gif located beneath the components folder when i switch to Navigator view in the NWDS.

I dropped the file here:

C:\Library\SAP Resources\UI Treeviews\12TutWD_Tree(Solution)\TutWD_Tree\src\mimes\Components\plus.gif

I did locate the sapicons directory and drop the file there and that worked out ok.

Thx for both responses

Open the "Navigator" view in Eclipse and drag the images from the Windows Explorer into the Eclipse folder src/mimes/components/<name-of-component>.

Don't put application specific resources into the sapicons folder.

But in "Navigator" view in Eclipse , I do not see my component-name in this directory...src/mimes/components though. My DC is not local DC.

Hi Julian,

1) In my case it is <i>C:\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\temp\webdynpro\web\sap.com\tc_wddispwda\global\sapIcons</i>

2) You know the location now, so answer is - try!
