Component-wide search

[Former Member]

Hello all,

Is there a way to search for a string within a whole component? I have to change a code which is not from me, and there is a context node for that I can't find the supply function. So I wanted to search within the whole component (all functions in all views and windows) for the name of the context node.

Any ideas how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards, Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Search functionality on the component level is disabled. But we can search on the each controller(View, componentCOntroller, Window, Custome controller ) level.

In order to search for a text or node name in implementation of a controller. Navigate to application level menu Utilities -> Settings, select WebDynpro tab; uncheck method based editor. Click on Ok. Now click on any other view(just for refesh), we can see additional tab named Implementation in the controller which lists all the methods code (in a single editor) present in the controller.

We can search for the required node and the implementation by clicking CNTRL+F in the implementation editor.

Best regards,

Suresh
