How to hide a nested UIBB in an FPM OVP application ?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts ,

    I have an FPM OVP application which basically contains the following nested UIBB's .

   a ) Main Page

             This has two sections i ) Header  ii) Items .

             In the Header section i in turn have two UIBB's .
                                      a) Form UIBB
                                      b) Composite UIBB.

                      The Composite in turn contains a  a) Master List UIBB

                                                                        b) Tabbed UIBB .

                                         The Tabbed UIBB then contains a) Tree UIBB
                                                                                        b) Chart UIBB with a drop down option . 

      I need to hide/remove the Chart UIBB based on the drop down option . I tried to do so in the   OVERRIDE_EVENT_OVP method of the controller exit class . However on selection of the event for Hiding the chart from the drop down menu on the chart toolbar . I am able to only get the UIBB's from the highest level ie i am able to get only the FORM UIBB , Composite UIBB from the header section . I am not able to drill down inside the composite UIBB > Tabbed UIBB > and lastly the CHART UIBB to hide it .

    Is there any way to get and hide the UIBB from such a nested level ? If yes , then how do i go about it ?

Thanks and Regards ,

Hello Sheldon Rodrigues,

You can add component controller (with IF_FPM_TABBED_CONF_EXIT component interface) in Tabbed UIBB and use method OVERRIDE_CONFIG_TABBED for your purposes.

Code example:

Kind regards, Aliaksandr.

It's correct what Aliaksandr said. By using the floorplan API IF_FPM_OVP you can only influence (change, remove) the UIBBs that are configured directly in the OVP floorplan, or you can add other UIBBS dynamically, and change/ remove them. However, you can not affect UIBBs that are inside layout UIBBs, such as the Tabbed UIBB or the so-called Composite UIBB. Those layout UIBBs have their own API in order to influence their UIBBs.

Hello Aliaksandr,

I have a kind of same requirement. In my case, i want to play around(Show/Hide) with child UIBBS of Composite UIBB based on dropdown values. From the above post am not able to understand how to add or use the interface IF_FPM_COMPOSITE_CONF_EXIT in FPM_COMPOSITE_UIBB.

Is there anyother way to get the UIBBS? or at least how to get the access to the method OVERRIDE_CONFIG_COMPOSITE of the interface in the feeder class.

Could you please elaborate and help me in getting the child UIBBS.

Thank you in advance!

Regards,

Chetan

Hi Chetan,

you have to assign an Application Configuration Controller (AppCC) to your Composite UIBB configuration in the configuration editor. This AppCC may be a WD component which has to implement the WD interface IF_FPM_CMPST_CONF_EXIT or an ABAP OO class the ABAP OO interface IF_FPM_COMPOSITE_CONF_EXIT. Both interfaces provide a method OVERRIDE_CONFIG_COMPOSITE in which you get access to an API that allows you to hide or add UIBBs.

Best regards,
Jens
