Change default view at runtime

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is there any way I can change the default view in a window at runtime?

Hi,

1. Embed the new view in the existing window and mark it as non default.

2. Make sure that this newly embedded view has an ID (in this case I've used the ID extrnlView).

3. Create a method openExternalWindow in the Component Controller.

4. Implementation of openExternalWindow:

IWDWindowInfo win = wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("<window name>");

win.setDefaultRootViewUsage(win.getViewUsageByID("extrnlview"));

}

Hi,

I was almost there (except from step 2).

But when I try this no view is visible - I get a blank screen (no view is set to default). When I set one of the views as default I get this view regardless of what I entered.

Hi,

Have you given the view an ID? This is different from the view name. You will need to expand the window from the WebDynpro explorer view, select the view and from the properties view give an ID for this view.

Hi,

I have given both views an Id.

Furthermore, I have debuged the application and seen that everything seems ok (I get the window, get the viewusage, the window sets the default) but the screen does not refresh.
