set_window_position

[former_member182374]

Hello Experts,

I'm trying to set popup window position by using the set_window_position method with no success (the window is always centered).

lo_window->SET_WINDOW_POSITION( exporting top = '100' left = '100' ).

I read some threads from 2009 that this functionality is not available and will be in the future.

We're in the year 2013...

Is it possible to set window position for WDA popup window? if yes, how can I do that?

We're on NW 7.31 SP3.

Regards,

Omri

Hi Omri,

SET_WINDOW_POSITION is will work only in ehp2, it wont work in higher version of ehp2 .

In later versions sap framework was change the position of window automatically. This is mentioned clearly in sap guidelines and it not allowed right now.

Hi,

Where exactly it is written?

Basically you're saying that in 7.00 EHP2,  a programmer can set position and in 7.30 EHP1 (which is newer) SAP decides the position.

Does it make any sense? SAP 'opened' an option just for 7.00 EHP2 and close it in newer releases?

Can you please give me a link to the relevant SAP guidelines?

p.s

Then again, everything is possible with SAP. In Web Dynpro Java we've waited 7 years for an option to move a popup window )-:

Hi Omri,

It is mentioned here in the NW 73 documentation on Working with Dialog Boxes. According to documentation, it is also not possible in NW 70 EhP2.

Hi Amy,

I read the documentation in help.sap.com but according to note 1003826:

It is not possible to change the size or position of a dialog box in the source code.
The following methods have no effect:
IF_WD_WINDOW~SET_WINDOW_POSITION
IF_WD_WINDOW~SET_WINDOW_POSITION_CONTROL
IF_WD_WINDOW~SET_WINDOW_SIZE
The following parameters of the IF_WD_WINDOW_MANAGER~CREATE_POPUP_TO_CONFIRM method are also ineffective:
WINDOW_LEFT_POSITION
WINDOW_TOP_POSITION
WINDOW_POSITION
WINDOW_WIDTH
WINDOW_HEIGHT
The function described here is available as of Enhancement Package 2 for SAP_BASIS 700.

I opened a message but I guess in this case help.sap.com is correct and SAP should fix the note.

The note title is "WDA: Changing the size of a dialog box" but the content refers to both size and position (only the size part is true).

Regards,

Omri
