Non-Model External window issues

[Former Member]

I was trying to open non-model external window but application isn't opening the window, can any body tell me whats wrong with my code:

TestReport report = new TestReport();
byte[] pdfData= report.getReportData();
						
IWDResource pdfResource = WDResourceFactory.createResource(pdfData, "TestReport.pdf", WDWebResourceType.PDF); 
String urlToFile = pdfResource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.AUTO.ordinal());

IWDWindow pdfWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(urlToFile, "View Report");
		
pdfWindow.show();

Actually I was trying to open pdf document in external window but nothing is opening, so I just made it simple and nothing happened.

	
IWDWindow pdfWindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow("http://www.yahoo.com", "View Report");
pdfWindow.show();

thanks

jawed,

IWDWindow pdfwindow = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow("http://www.google.com","google");
    pdfwindow.show();

is correct.

Not sure that why it is not showing. check the action is being called.

try casting too

IWDWindow pdfwindow = (IWDWindow)wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow("http://www.google.com","google");
    pdfwindow.show();

but this one not needed. just give a try.

in firefox, you can set enable popups to show popup windows

I don't think there is any thing to do with popup blocking:

1) when Firefox blocks a popup it intimates

2) I have my URL added in exception list of popup blocks, so its out of question i guess

There are control that don't run perfectly on Firefox but they run IE; I guess SAP doesn't vouch using firefox either.

Hi

Inplace of CreatenonmodalExternalWindow() method use creatExternalwindow() i think it will work

Hi,

I use the following code to display PDF file in external window

IWDCachedWebResource resource;

String fileName = "pdf_file_name"

//Get PFC web resource URL, you need the PDF stream return from ABAP RFC

resource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(wdContext.currentY_PDFElement().getPdfStream(), WDWebResourceType.PDF);

resource.setResourceName(fileName);

String PDF_URL = resource.getURL());

//Open the PDF in new window

IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createNonModalExternalWindow(resource.getURL(), "PDF File");

window.setWindowPosition(5, 5);

window.setWindowSize(600, 600);

window.open();

Hope this will helps

It didn't work V. Kong, as I mentioned I even can't open simple web URL in external non-model window,

open() is deprecated and show() is the recommended method.

Hi,

The way you are doing is correct but it is not clear what is the exact reason behind this. Just try using createExternalWindow method and see if that works or no.

I found the problem, actually it works only on IE, I was trying it on Firefox 3 before.

My suggestion to every body use IE when using webdynpros.

Hi,

Try this

pdfWindow.open(); 

instead of

pdfWindow.show();

pdfWindow.open() is deprecated method, instead of show() method will be used.

Anyways I will try this but I doubt it will solve my problem.
