you can find more in se80 tag browser under bsp extensions transportable thtmlb action menu.  see the below example.

• Creating the actionMenu with the items table:

<%
data: ll_action_item   type wcfs_thtmlb_action_menu_item,
     lt_action_items  type  wcft_thtmlb_action_menu_items.

  ll_action_item-id = 'action_item01'.
  ll_action_item-type = if_bsp_wd_action_descriptor=>gc_type_generic_action.
  ll_action_item-text = 'send e-mail'.
  ll_action_item-icon_src = '/sap/bc/bsp/sap/CRM_thtmlb_comp/email.gif'.
  ll_action_item-onselect = 'SELECT_AM'.
  insert ll_action_item into table lt_action_items.
  clear: ll_action_item.

  ll_action_item-id = 'action_item02'.
  ll_action_item-type = if_bsp_wd_action_descriptor=>gc_type_generic_action.
  ll_action_item-text = 'check address'.
  ll_action_item-icon_src = lv_icon.
  ll_action_item-onclientselect = 'open_win();'.

  insert ll_action_item into table lt_action_items.
%>

<thtmlb:label
         id = "label_bp"
         text = "Business Partner:"/>
<thtmlb:actionMenu
           id = "actionMenuBP"
           actionItems = "<%= lt_action_items %>"
           for = "textViewBP">
     <thtmlb:textView
                id = "textViewBP"
                text= "John Black" />

</thtmlb:actionMenu>

• Creating actionMenu with an action provider instance:

<%
  data: lr_action_provider             type ref to cl_bsp_wd_action_provider.
  create object lr_action_provider type cl_wcf_action_menu_descr2.

%>

<thtmlb:label
         id = "label_bp"
         text = "Business Partner:"/>
<thtmlb:actionMenu
           id = "actionMenuBP"
            actionDescriptor = "<%= lr_action_provider %>"
           for = "textViewBP">
     <thtmlb:textView
                id = "textViewBP"
                text= "John Black" />
</thtmlb:actionMenu>

• Setting a custom icon to the actionMenu:

<thtmlb:label
         id = "label_bp"
         text = "Business Partner:"/>
<thtmlb:actionMenu
           id = "actionMenuBP"
           actionItems = "<%= lt_action_items %>"
           iconSrc = "myIconURL.jpg"
           for = "textViewBP">
     <thtmlb:textView
                id = "textViewBP"
                text= "John Black" />

</thtmlb:actionMenu>

Hi Praveen ,

Thanks a lot for info. It helped a lot.

Btw can you tell me step by step or something like that as By chnaging in HTML i need to change every where manually , this can be done by design layer as well. how to achieve that.

And how can i add SKYPE Call to be very specific! again thanks for the info in mean time I am also doing R&D for the same

[praveen_kumar194]

hi

i am sorry even i am new to this topic. i was just trying to add one action menu in a table view for a particular field by redefing AC getter method. but something is stopping me.

when it comes to SKYPE , i really dont have any idea. i only know for any action item, if you assign any onselect event, that will be triggered. so we need to code in that event handler accordingly. i will let you know if i find anything.

Hi Praveen,

Yes its Ehp1s functionality but I was wondering even no standard Examples are given by SAP!

btw you said you were Redefining AC getter method ( can ypou plz tell in which component  you were trying)   but in my system there is no as such GETTER i guess i need to go in Class and need to create get_ac-** method by self!

I think we need to check it also... although this is a good functionality need to explore a bit more...

Thanks for info again...!!!

hi

i am not checking it in the sap standard one. i created one z table view and tryting to implement this concept. there is already one sap standard class which i could see this implementation.

do where used list on class CL_BSP_WD_ACTION_PROVIDER. it will show you one AC getter method. you can have look at it.

we need to code in this method if we want show action menu for any field.

Hi,

Please check the CL_WCF_AC_PROVIDER* classes.

There are examples for call using Skype, but i just calls the open_win_skype().

I tried it as a action menu assigned to a field of my custom component.
