Dialog boxes: Road Map navigation buttons into the standard button area

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a Road Map form which is opened in a dialog box being displayed in a portal. Is there a way to get the "next/previous" buttons to display in the wave line area of the dialog box?

I know that i can put standard Yes, No and Cancel buttons in there, but how about custom user defined buttons?

Cheers,

Vic

Hi,

When you use these popups you can have only the standard buttons not the custom ones.

To have the custom ones, then you need to create a view and have the layout with your own buttons then

embed this view in other window inaddition to the existing window.

I mean have to views one in each window.

Call the 2nd window in 1st window as a popup. So that you can have you own buttons in that view that is embeded in 2nd window.

This way you can do.

Regards,

Lekha.

Yes, I have already managed to put custom buttons on the dialog box.

I just want to move my buttons into the same "wave" container as the standard "OK" and "Cancel" buttons (as displayed on page 3 from this document: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a04870c5-749b-2b10-06ba-d25515ef....

Hi,

How did you put custom buttons using Confirmation pop up window.Any how if you want to disable the exisiting buttons in the pop up use this method to disable them.

SET_BUTTON_ENABLED method of class if_wd_window. pass button name and IS_ENABLED is ABAP_FALSE.

Web Dynpro ABAP and Java are different in this regard. WDA currently has no API method of the Window to create custom buttons in below the wave bar. You can only enable and disable the standard buttons.

The workaround is generally to disable all the standard buttons and create your own button bar inside the view of the window. This does mean that it will be above the wave bar.

Thanks for your replies. I guess in short, you can't put custom buttons into the wave bar...until the next release

Actually that functionality isn't there in the next release either. I checked a 7.02/7.20 system. It would be a good item to add to our feature request stick message on the front page of the forum. We are currently in the process of planning for 7.03 and will be collecting and reviewing those requests very soon (like next week).
