Hello Karthick,

1) Create custom controller.

2) Create attribute with type Visibility in custom controller.

3) Add custom controller in "required controllers" for embedded view and for container view.

4) Create attribute with type Visibility in embedded view and container view.

5) Map visibility attribute from custom controller to container view and from custom controller to embedded view.

6) in container view in wdDoInit put wdContext.currentContextElement().setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);

7) In action handler for button put something like:

final int ordinal = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVisible().ordinal();

wdContext.currentContextElement().setVisible(WDVisibility.valueOf(ordinal%2 + 1));

While clicking on button table would be shown or hidden.

Hi Vijith / Makshim,

I started implementing your Suggestions.But I could not not find out the Type as visibility.

I created one Value Attribute.If I try to Map it to type visibility its not there in the list.

Where Can I find out that?

Select attribute in context editor. Go to properties. Click on "...". In dialog select "dictionary simple type". In tree above select dictionaries-local dictionary-com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions-Visibility.

Hello Karthick,

If I undersand you correct, If you would open another view under current viewContainer on click of another button it is even more simplier - you don`t need custom controller in this case because you can manage visibility directly in view. Follow Vijith`s instructions: create attribute with type visibility in view context, map visibility property of embedded viewContainer to this attribute, set in wdInit method visibility context attribute to none, in action handler for button set visibility context attribute to visible.

Hi Karthick,

1.Create a value attribute by name say "visible".

2.Got to properties of this attribute and click on the button with three dot in the Type property.

3.A screen will come with Dictionary and under it Local dictionary.

4.In the local dictionary select com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.

5.Here select the value visibility.

6.Now you can change it programattically.

Hi Karthick,

Why dont you put your table in the view itself instead of viewcontainer ui element. And change the visibility of the table by creating a simple type of WDVisibility, map it with visibility property of the table and changing that to WDVisibility.visible on the click of the button.

Hi Jaydeep,

I have to show the table on click of one button and Onclick of another button,I have to show the Gantt chart in the same place where the table is shown.

So that I planned to keep View container.At the run time I can call the required View Container.

Hi,

1.Create a context attribute of type Visibility.

2.Map this attribute to the visible property of the View Container UI element.

3.You can change the visibility of the View Container UI element by writing the folllowing code in the action of the button

wdContext.currentContextElement().set"Attribute"(WDVisibility.Visible)

But i think it is better to add the table in the view itself and change the Visibility as Jaydeep has suggested.
