Hi Manu,

Follow these steps:

1. Create CONTEXT with 2 attributes - UPLOAD & SHOW of type XSTRING.

2. Add a "UPLOAD" element on the layout of screen & map it with UPLOAD attribute of context.

3. Then Add a "OFFICE CONTROL" on the same screen & map it with the SHOW attribute of context..

4. Add a BUTTON for Show Document/Open Document.

5. Add 2 attrubutes in ATTRIBUTES tab of the dynpro application:

i) DOCUMENT type IF_IOS_DOCUMENT

ii) FACTORY type IF_IOS_FACTORY

6. On method of that button (SHOW)...enter the following code:

DATA : refexp TYPE REF TO cx_ios_exception.

IF wd_this->document IS INITIAL.

wd_this->factory->get_document_proxy( IMPORTING proxy = wd_this->document ).

ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->document IS BOUND.

ENDIF.

wd_this->document->opendocument( ).

• read context node

DATA:

node_file_upload TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,

elem_file_upload TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,

stru_file_upload TYPE if_second=>element_file_upload .

• navigate from <CONTEXT> to <FILE_UPLOAD> via lead selection

node_file_upload = wd_context->get_child_node( name = if_second=>wdctx_file_upload ).

• get element via lead selection

elem_file_upload = node_file_upload->get_element( ).

• get all declared attributes

elem_file_upload->get_static_attributes(

IMPORTING

static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).

stru_file_upload-show = stru_file_upload-upload.

• set all declared attributes

elem_file_upload->set_static_attributes(

EXPORTING

static_attributes = stru_file_upload ).

7. Now add the following code to the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method (default method)

DATA:

office TYPE REF TO cl_wd_view_element.

• get the office control

office ?= view->get_element( 'OFFICE' ).

ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION office IS BOUND.

• get the IOS interface

wd_this->factory ?= office->_method_handler.

ASSERT ID sios_demo CONDITION wd_this->factory IS BOUND.

8. Run the application & enter a text file of word format in the File Upload.

9. Press show button & it will display the code of that word file.

Hello Parteek,

I tried your example, but I am getting syntax error for this line:

stru_file_upload TYPE if_second=>element_file_upload .

It is saying that this type is unknown.
