Turning UI Elements on and off programmatically?

[Former Member]

Hi Everyone: I haven't been able to find any tutorial that talks about how to add or hide a UI element from within the application. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Ian.

Are you talking about WDJ or WDA? If WDA, here are some weblogs.

That's easy:

Every UI element has a property "visible".

Bind this property to a context attribute of DDIC type "com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Visibility".

Then you can show / hide all UI elements bound to this attribute by setting the attribute value to WDVisibility.VISIBLE / WDVisibility.NONE.
