I too had an itch to reply with something like this

This is a sign of work well done!

The WD has so strong UI abstraction, that hides client-server nature applications almost completely. If you search forum, you will even find posts where developers try to upgrade value of ProgressMeter in <b>for</b> loop )

Hi,

Plz do not undestand me in wrongly. I will try to expalin the requirement in more detail. I need to develope a webdynpro screen, where an a values entered into multiple InputField is summed upto into a readonly TextField. Since Webdynpro does not provide eventing related to lostFocus, I was just thinking of embedding a JTextFiled and achieve the same. If some one has a diffrenet approach to problem, plz do help me out.

This can only be achieved by explicitly triggering an action on the server, so you have to add some UI element like a button or link with an action to update the summary field.

Additionally, you could assign an action to the InputField.onEnter event which is triggered when the ENTER key is pressed inside the field.

Hi,

just to update. Now that i know a little more about WebDynpro and HTMLB, I would never tyr to put a swing UI element into an iview. In fact webdynpro contains all such controls.
