Hi Padmalatha,

On the click of the Action button

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow("URL Required","Title",boolean modal);

window.open();

Thanks,

hi,

1.Declare the following in the implementaion of the component controller

 //@@begin others
  IWDWindow modalWindow; 
  //@@end

2.First create a method in the component controller :

public void createExternalWindow( )
  {
    //@@begin createExternalWindow()
    // create external window
  
    IWDWindow externalWin = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow
                                                        ("http://www.google.co.in/", "External");
    
    //Define window position and dimensions according to acreen parameters
    externalWin.setTitle("Google");
    externalWin.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);
    externalWin.setWindowSize(1280,850);
    externalWin.show();
    
    //@@end
  }

3.Create a button in the view, create an action. assign this action to the button . Now call the method in the view controller.

 public void onActionexternal(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
  {
    //@@begin onActionexternal(ServerEvent)
    wdThis.wdGetPopUpCompController().createExternalWindow();
    
    
    //@@end
  }

Now to create a modal window

1.Declare the following in the implementaion of the component controller

 //@@begin others
  IWDWindow modalWindow; 
  //@@end

2.Create a new window "NewPopWindow".Declare the following in the implementaion of the component controller.

public void createModalWindow( )
  {
    //@@begin createModalWindow()
    
    //creating the window
    IWDWindowInfo winInfo = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("NewPopWindow");
       modalWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createModalWindow(winInfo);
    
    //display window in centre
    modalWindow.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);
    modalWindow.setTitle("Modal Window");
    modalWindow.setWindowSize(400,100);
    
    //opening the window
    modalWindow.show();
    
    //@@end
  }

3. destroy the window

 public void destroyModalWindow( )
  {
    //@@begin destroyModalWindow()
	
    modalWindow.destroyInstance();
    //@@end
  }

4.Create a button in the view, create an action. assign this action to the button . Now call the method in the view controller.

public void onActionmodal(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
  {
    //@@begin onActionmodal(ServerEvent)
   wdThis.wdGetPopUpCompController().createModalWindow();
    //@@end
  }

hi,

For this first we make a Window and Embedd the desired View in this window.

Now Make a method by which we can open the desired window.

Here the method is openWindow

And closeWindow.

(These methods are inside component controller)

Make a value attribute(windowInstance) inside component controller of type IWDWindow.

public void OpenWindow( ) {

IWDWindowManager winMgr= wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getWindowManager();

IWDWindowInfo winInfo=wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getComponentInfo().

findInWindows("FontFormatWindow");

IWDWindow changeFontWindow=winMgr.createModalWindow(winInfo);

changeFontWindow.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);

changeFontWindow.setTitle("Change Font Format-Title");

changeFontWindow.show();

wdContext.currentContextElement.setwindowInstance(changeFontWindow);

//@@end

}

public void CloseWinDow( ) {

IWDWindow ins=wdContext.currentContextElement.getwindowInstance();

ins.destroyInstance();

}

hi,

create one context attribute in component controller of type java native type(IWDWindow) and mapped it with main view where your button and window(here below code have that window name is popwin) that you want to open.

IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo)wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("Popwin");

//	  get information of window in controller context
	  
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo,true);
window.setWindowPosition(WDWindowPos.CENTER);
  window.open();
 
//  store information of window in controller context
  wdThis.wdGetAbhiappController().wdGetContext().
currentContextElement().setWin(window);

Hello padmalatha,

Dynpro allows to use 3 types of windows, and what you need is External Window.

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow( "http://www.google.com", "Google", true);
window.open();

first argument is the URL path, second is title and the third determines the modal (Only the non-modal windows are currently supported - NWDS 7.0)
