Call a "LinkToURL" element

[Former Member]

Hi community,

I create a "LinkToUrl" element in View, this is to link an external application with reference property.

I would like fire "action" of "LinkToURL" obj, from Event Handler.

It's possible??

Hi Antonello,

Create a link to action UI element in the view .In the associated action write

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow("<url>", "<title>", false);

// for opening the window.

window.open();

The third parameter is for determining whether the window is modal or not. so make it false

You can also use a link to url for this

specify the url in reference and make the target as _blank

See the link for more details

Hi,

In the Link to url UI element,thete is a property Event onAction, create an action event handler and write the following code to call the external window.

IWDWindowInfo window=wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow("http://www.google.de",

"Google-Search for an email address",false);

window.open();

Use IWDWindowManager API to open an "external" window that points to the URL given in the link.

Btw, one thing that WD team has to consider: modern popup blockers prevent opening external windows this way. Check WebDynpro advent calendar for example.
