Troubles creating a Popup

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm trying to extend existing Application with a Popup.

Since I'm new to BSP and PCUI development, I used PCUI Cookbook as reference.

My Popup is triggered by a Button, which is located on Searchresult toolbar.

I am using MAC of Searchresult Screenstructure as Model Access Class for my Popup.

For layout I'm using a different screenstructure with the same MAC.

I edited PROCESS_EVENT and GET_MESSAGES in order to pass a message to interaction layer and to protect it from being deleted. And of course I maintained all required BLUEPRINT tables, like it's stated in the Cookbook.

Now to my problems:

1. My popup doesn't stay up. It flashes for a short time and disappears again. I debugged the application and it doesn't seem to use GET_MESSAGES of my MAC at all. How do I get it to use my GET_MESSAGES?

2. I changed my popup to show as popin for now, in order get functionality working. Now it shows up, but it does not show data, i put into my Screenstructure and the input field seems to be locked although i didn't lock it in the BLUEPRINT table. So do I need to pass an instance of the screenstructure to my popup/in and how do i pass it?

Thanks for your help in advance and if you require more information, don't hesitate to ask me.

Hi Azaz,

thanks for your fast reply.

I've read all of the weblogs you posted and they contain an interesting solution, but I think its a bit of overkill to write a bsp application just to create a popup.

I think I forgot to mention, that I'm trying to modify an Application (namely CRMD_SALQ) using PCUI and BAB possibilities rather than to write a own bsp Application or Extension. I would like to avoid adding any more applications to our currens system, if possible.

Anyway thanks for your reply.
