Hi,

There are different ways of doing this F4 in input field depending on your requirements.

this is nothig but creating input help. So it depend on the property input help mode of your attribute with whome input field is bound.

There are basically four types of input help mode

1-automatic

2-Dictionary search help

3-Object Value Selector

4-Free programming.

The simplest way will be automatic where,

If you already have a search help for that data and then you can assosiate that with a data element and create the attribute with type of this data element and use automatic value for input help mode property for that attribute. F4 option with those values will automatically come.

Similarly othres have there own significance and lots of posts you can find for them.

so tell me your requirement so that i can suggest you for which method you should go.

regards

panky

Hi Pankaj,

I would suggest to use an OVS as it forms the best form of input helps, amongst the choices that you have. Here not only you can decide what data you want to be listed but also you can have a search functionality for the same.

The use of the same is quite simple too. Just some additional coding, but thats fine when you consider the outcome.

Steps if you are interested.

1. Make a component reuse of wdr_ovs in your component.

2 Change the help mode of the attribute you want to OVS, give the name similar to the one used while naming for component reuse.

3. Define an event handler, with even as ovs and controller as interfacecontroller.

4. Write the code for getting the list of data and for binding it to the attribute.

I would have to disagree with Pankaj. I think you will find that the Data Dictionary Search Help is generally the most used of the choices. It requires no coding on your part and there are already thousands of search helps available.

You can do exactly the same with a data dictionary search help.
