Hi,

1)Create 1 context variable say TabVisible of type WDVisibility

(com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Visibility) in the dataTypr property of context attribute click on search icon->Dictionary Simple type->Local dicntionary->com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions->Visiblity

2)Bind the Visible property of Table UI Element to this attribute.

3)Craete 2 actions , bind one to CreateTast button's OnAction and other to EditTask button's OnAction.

4)so in the action of CraeteTask, write code:

wdContext.currentContextElement.setTabVisibile(WDVisibility.NONE);

5)in action of EditTask:

wdContext.currentContextElement.setTabVisibile(WDVisibility.NONE);

hope it helps

Hi,

have you created the value attribute with data type Visibility ?

if yes then, goto the table you have created , go to its properties, find the property Visible, search here the value attribute tabVisible, select that .

Hi Abhijeet,

I created the value attribute in local dictionary of type visibility.But the problem what i am facing is i can not able to bind the value attribute to the table property visibile. becasue it is a dropdown na , not allowing in the layout property.

how can i bind ,,,can i bind in the coding or at Layout place..

Ratnakar,

select Layout tab, goto to Outline View, select you Table , then come to property View(Just beside Outline VIew), here Locate Visible property(you will see 2 buttons against this property so click the 2nd one, one with '...')

it will open new window , in this window you will see your context attribute, choose that ,

and follow rest of the process

let me know if you still face any problem

Hi Abhijeet,

I followed all the steps which you suggested.but the problem is at the time of binding the visibile property of table with the context attribute .

first i created the simple attribute of type visibility in the local dictionary and then created a context attribute in the view and bind the property of context attribute with local dictionary's visibility attribute which i have created in first step .

But i am not able to select the context attribute because it is asking like selecte the attribute type Vibsibility.

here only i am basically getting strucked

thanks and regards

create value attribute in the view context, set its type by click on button "..." and open the <b>local dictionary</b> in the node om.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefenition

and choose visibility from there.

dont choose the type from java native type!

in the layout , open your element properties and click on button "..." near the visible property. the context screen should appear and you can choose your value attribute.

In the code try

<i>wdContext.currentContextElement().setUiVis(WDVisibility.NONE);</i>

or

<i>wdContext.currentContextElement().setUiVis(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);</i>
