Hi Experts,

  I have a standard WD component and I would like to change(Enhance/Modify) the layout of transparent container for example Flow to Grid.

  I tried enhancing but not able to change the layout property but it generates Pre, Overwrite and Post exit for View method.

  How can i achieve this. Need advice.Thanks in Advance

Hi,

You cannot directly change the UI elements in standard component. Enhance the view and Right click on the Transparent container and then click on 'Remove Element' then create a new Container with required layout and add the UI elements. You can check this document for reference: Enhance WDA Component

Or, create a post Exit for WDDOMODIFYVIEW method and then change the layout dynamically. You can check this doc for reference:

hope this helps

Hi,

I think you need to have access key to change the layout of the UI element for that standard webdynpro component.

Thanks

Hi,

There are no modifications needed in WDA ever. Everything can be achieved using the enhancement framework and dynamic programming. To get a grip how things work in general, check this blog from   

. When you try to manipulate a certain UI-Element check the respective Class in SE24 to see which methods to use.
