IWDConfirmationDialog layout in 04, 7 and CE

[ChrisPaine]

Hello,

I'm currently developing some apps in NW04. I have a requirement to get the user to confirm certain actions. As such I am using the IWDConfirmationDialog functionality.

I would like to display different icons depending on the type of message (info, warning, error, etc). So I have used some code like:

		String iconURL = "";
		try
		{
			iconURL =
				WDURLGenerator.getWebResourceURL(
					wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(),
					MyConstants.INFORMATION_ICON);
		}
		catch (WDURLException e)
		{
			// don't do anything
		}
		myDialog.setIcon(iconURL);

This does show the icon on the dialog box. However, it appears that the dialog box (as implemented in tc_wdcorecomp\Components\com.sap.tc.webdynpro.dialog.confirm.ConfirmationComponent) just uses a simple text with icon. This means the icon appears directly at the beginning of the text and that the text wraps around <b>underneath it!</b>

|-----------------------------|
|                             |
|   ICON error text           |
|   wraps to here             |
|                             |
|      button    button       |
|-----------------------------|

This is so ugly that we have decided not to use any icons in the dialogs.

I was wondering if later versions of this functionality laid out the screen slightly better? So that it resembles more the standard layout of two columns with:

|-----------------------------|
|                             |
|   ICON     error text       |
|            wraps to here    |
|                             |
|      button    button       |
|-----------------------------|

If this functionality has not been provided in later versions, can I please suggest it as a worthwhile improvement? I don't really want to have to code up my own confirmation dialog because the standard one looks ugly!

Cheers,

You are absolutely right about this and should open an OSS message (BC-WD-JAV-RUN).

I am slack - sorry.

Update,

the functionality has been changed - quite some time ago.

Message now look much nicer as standard.
