Hi,

the FileDownload has a property behaviour, that determines what will happen if the user clicks on the FileDownload Ui element. If you set the value of behaviour to allowSave, the user can decide where to save the file.

Hi,

Am not sure which window you are talking about it.. If i have understood your problem..

try this..with the property

● target

Specifies the browser window in which the page is to be opened. You can manually specify the name of the target window or use the following values:

○ ""

The page is opened in a new window without a name. For every file download a new window will be opened

○ _self is no longer supported. Use exit plugs instead and specify the URL there.

&#9675; “<window name>”. You can specify a window name as string. For every file download the same window will be opened.

Hi Bharathwaj,

I am talking about the new popup window opened when you click on the filedownload element. i want to close that window automatically.

clearly.

[ have popup with FileDownload control on it. Clicking the link(FileDownload) system opens IE window with small "Download" window (open,save,cancel).

The question is how to close programmatically this IE window after download (or open) is complete ?

I don't want the user to have to do that manually ?

Hallo Naga,

you cannot close the IE window after download programmatically from within your Web Dynpro application. The user must manually close it. What you can do is the following ...

You can dynamically set the behavior property of the FileDownload-UI-element. The enumeration type WDFileDownloadBehaviour determines how the downloaded file is represented on the client. This property can have three different values:

• <b>AUTO</b>: The behaviour is predefined and depends on the mime type of the downloaded file.

• <b>ALLOW_SAVE</b>: An open/save dialog asks the user.

• <b>OPEN_INPLACE</b>: The file will be opened in place in the web page with the browser-embedded application program.
