Thanks Armin, for all your help.

I could solve it,

wdDoModifyView()
{
   IWDViewElement e = view.getElement("TabID");
   if (e instanceof IWDTab)
   {
     /* There exists a tab named "TabID" */
   }  
}

Hi Armin,

I am using below code

IPrivateview1.IparentElement ele= wdContext.parentElement();

wdContext.nodeparent().addElement(ele);

IWDAttributeInfo attrinfo=wdContext.getChildNode("parent",0).getNodeInfo().addAttribute(resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_FIELDNAME"),"ddic:com.sap.dictionary."resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i+"_DATATYPE"));

I am getting an error :

com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdException: Dictionary Type com.sap.dictionary.String does notExist

Here in addAttribute(string,string)

I used "string" & "ddic:com.sap.dictionary.string" too still getting the same error

Can you tell me what might be the error, how to resolve this.

"ddic:com.sap.dictionary.string" should work.

Hi Armin,

yes it is working, It was "String" in the properties file and hence the error.

Finally regarding the Tab,

I could create New tab, add labels and textboxs to it, but may be due to that it was in flowlayout, I could not see any of them but just a text box.

I am using gridlayout like the below, but getting an classcastexception

IWDTransparentContainer tcont = (IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement(resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_TAB"));

IWDGridLayout layout =(IWDGridLayout)tcont.createLayout(IWDGridLayout.class);

layout.setColCount(3);

Thanks,

Is the ID of the tab content container really

resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"+i+"_TAB")

?

Or is that the ID of the tab itself? That would explain a ClassCastException.

Hi Armin,

Have a look at this code

<pre>

for(int i=1;i<=fieldscount;i++)

{

IWDAttributeInfo child = parent.addAttribute(resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_FIELDNAME"),"com.sap.dictionary."resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i+"_DATATYPE"));

IWDInputField field = (IWDInputField) view.createElement(IWDInputField.class,"Field_"+i);

field.bindValue(child);

IWDLabel label = (IWDLabel)view.createElement(IWDLabel.class,"Label_"+i);

label.setText(resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_LABEL"));

label.setLabelFor("Field_"+i);

IWDViewElement Ele = view.getElement(resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_TAB"));

if(Ele instanceof IWDTab)

{

IWDTab existtab = (IWDTab)view.getElement(resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_TAB"));

existtab.setContent(label);

existtab.setContent(field);

}

else

{

<b>IWDTab tab1 = (IWDTab)view.createElement(IWDTab.class,resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_TAB"));</b>

IWDCaption header1 = (IWDCaption) view.createElement(IWDCaption.class,resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_FIELDNAME"));

header1.setText(resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_TAB"));

tab1.setHeader(header1);

IWDTransparentContainer tcont = (IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement(resourceHandler.getString("FIELD"i"_TAB"));

IWDGridLayout layout =(IWDGridLayout)tcont.createLayout(IWDGridLayout.class);

layout.setColCount(3);

tab1.setContent(label);

tab1.setContent(field);

ts.addTab(tab1);

// count++;

}

}

theActionContainer.addChild(ts);

</pre>

There is still a bug in your code:

You cannot add elements inside a tab by calling tab.setContent() several times. You have to add the elements to a container C and then set this container as the content for the tab using

tab.setContent(C);

Yes,

but I changed that ....

I need to set maxlength to the textboxs, can you tell me how to create simple types dynamically and assign them to the same..
