Bindhelp DDIC/OVS on dynamic control

[former_member202253]

Hello Experts,

We are having a requirement to add input help to new custom field in standard application.

Where the component is reading configuration and creating control using class: CL_WD_INPUT_FIELD=>NEW_INPUT_FIELD.

In standard component there is no context where I can go and add DDIC/OVS help. Standard application pass data to dynamic control in parameter:

bind_value.

in this class method I can see some parameter like "BIND_INPUT_HELP" ,"BIND_INPUT_PROMPT" but I am not sure. How do I use OVS help or DDIC help.

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards,

NJ

Hi,

Assign the search help to the attribute not to the input field. In the parameter PATH of method bind_value you should have the name of the attribute you need to use.

Try with this:

DATA lo_nd_your_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.

   lo_nd_your_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_your_node ).

   DATA lo_nd_info TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.

   lo_nd_info = lo_nd_your_node->get_node_info( ).

   CALL METHOD lo_nd_info->set_attribute_value_help
     EXPORTING
       name            = 'YOUR_ATTRIBUTE'
       value_help_mode = '121' "help mode
       value_help      = 'YOUR_DDIC_OR_OVS_NAME'.

Where value_help_mode:

deactivated         = 101

automatic           = 111

ddic                = 121

ovs                 = 131

application_defined = 141

Hi Nikhil,

Don't use the L_NAME in method SET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_HELP.

As I can see in your code L_NAME stores the ID of the new input field.

You need to pass to this method the name of the context attribute bound to the input field.

You can see this name as part of the path, in your code in var L_VALUE. I guess you need to take the last part of this string and use it. Put a break-point and check what do you have in this var.

Regards,

Ricardo.

Thanks Ricardo,

I got the issue node was not retuning attributes as the attributes are at child level so I used below code and it is working fine.

lo_nd_info = lo_nd_your_node->get_node_info( ).
lo_nd_info1 =  lo_nd_info->get_child_node( name = 'HRI9991' ).
          CALL METHOD lo_nd_info1->set_attribute_value_help
           EXPORTING
              name            = l_name
              value_help_mode = '121' "help mode
              value_help      = 'ZCA9_INT_CO_SH'.

Thanks,
