Hi Vaibhav,

With NW 7 EhP2, there is a new property for InputField called inputPrompt which does this. Take a look at the InputField property documentation. Prior to EhP2, alternatives are either the tooltip property or an explanation.

Cheers,

Hi Vaibhav,

the below options are possible types for help in inputfield:

1.show explanation

2. tooltip

3. suggested values

4. input help

I suggested to use either show explanation or tooltip and tooltip is sap guideliness recommended.

we have been only help text for application or window but we dont have individual ui elements.

Hi Vaibhav,

The requirement you are asking can be achieved in a different way. See if it fits

You can use the explanation property of an input field to convey ur message to user. You can have a button with a help icon beside it. On click of it you can trigger a method with the following code:

  data cmp_api          type ref to if_wd_component.
  data application_api  type ref to if_wd_application.
  data show_explanation type abap_bool.

  cmp_api = wd_comp_controller->wd_get_api( ).
  application_api = cmp_api->get_application( ).
  show_explanation = application_api->get_show_explanation( ).

  if show_explanation = abap_true.
    show_explanation = abap_false.
  else.
    show_explanation = abap_true.
  endif.
  application_api->set_show_explanation( show_explanation ).

Let me know if it works.

Hi,

there is no provision in Web Dynpro ABAP to create like that. It is possible in html using java script.
