As far as i unterstood, you want to call the OVS by coding not by clicking the "help symbol" within a INput Field?!

I had the demand, to open the value help depending on an other action...

cl_wdr_value_help_handler=>handle_value_help(

context_element = <CONTEXT_ELEMENT>

context_attribute = <ATTRIBUTE NAME>

Be sure, that there is a VALUE HELP defined for your attribute.

Hi Friends,

I have the similar kind of requirement. Upon click on a Button on screen i need to call a search help, and collect one or more selected material numbers.

The search help is working fine and i am getting the entries with the following code.

The problem is i am finding extra popup on screen.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST'
EXPORTING
tabname         =  space
fieldname       =  space
SEARCHHELP      =  'MAT1'
MULTIPLE_CHOICE =  'X'
STEPL           =  0
value           = 'MATNR'
*dynpprog        =  progname
*dynpnr          =  dynnum
*dynprofield     = 'CARRIER'
CALLBACK_PROGRAM          = 'ZTEST_1_PRA'
CALLBACK_FORM             = 'F4CALLBACK'
TABLES
RETURN_TAB                = RETURN_TAB
EXCEPTIONS
FIELD_NOT_FOUND           = 1
NO_HELP_FOR_FIELD         = 2
INCONSISTENT_HELP         = 3
NO_VALUES_FOUND           = 4
OTHERS                    = 5.

Hi Chandra,

If you want to display some entries on the Button itself then you can use a UI element called "MenuButton" you can attach or create the menu Dynamically and by reading the ID in OnAction click you can perform the desired operation.

Hope this helps. Do award points if you found the post helpful.

Hi,

if you want to call a searchhelp, the easiest is to have it on an inputfield,

when it has to be done by clicking on a button, you should use the option of

calling a custom F4, meaning create popupwindow with the F4 events in the framework.
