Autocomplete input field for Webdynpro ABAP

[Former Member]

Dear Sir/Madam,

We implemented a custom user interface  for material search based on Search Engine Service (SES – TREX) with WebDynpro Abap. On this tool, our users can type a free text to find materials. Our master data has too much characteristics and not always the user knows the exactly word to type. We would like to improve our tool by making available text suggestion features. Also known as autocomplete input field search. For webdynpro Java, we find some material talking about Suggest Values features for Input field, but we did not find anything similar for Web Dynpro ABAP. Could you suggest an alternative to implement this requirement (such as google like suggestion for material)? Is there any standard component available for WebDynpro ABAP?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Wei Huei,

With NetWeaver 7.0 EhP2, the InputField element has a new property, suggestValues. I believe this is what you're looking for. What Enhancement pack level are you on?

Hi Lai,

  1. First Create the search help (ZXXXXX) for the input field .

  2. Use that search help in attributes which you will create in the controller of the view.

       In Attribute Property :

          a. Input Help Mode : Dictionary Search Help

           b. Dictionary Search Help : <ZXXXXX>

  3. Create InputField Element in view.

  4. In Value property of the InputField Element, map the attribute created in controller.

  5. Check the Suggest Value Property of the InputField Element.

I hope you get the solution for your problem.

Thanks,

Dhivya
