F2 on Popups? (Or how to get the Component if F2 is not working)

Former Member

Hello Experts,

I wonder if somebody has a tip how to get the component of popups?

The F2 Help is not working there.

The Popup I'm actually looking at is called by a button. Is it possible to find out the called component by looking at the button Event? (I have tried - but the source does not tell me any component)

Thanks for answers...

Regards

Chris

Hi Cris,

If you are using Crome browser, then u might have some problem, as this is not supported.

Go through this note:

As per SAP note 1430376, Chrome is not on the support browser list

Hi,

If you are inside the button event, you may be able to see the popup created using create_window method. Also there is something called component usage. This is what links different components at runtime. Go to the runtime repository of your component and look for this component usage. You should be able to see the component that is being used for the popup.

Chris,

F2 should definitely work if it is a UI component.

You see pop ups on button clicks and F4 value helps. F2 should work in these cases.

For some attributes with F4 help, a DDIC search help is attached. Here F2 does not work.

Anyhow to find out which component it is calling, you use this method

check in the event handler(for button pop ups) or in the outbound plugs specifies in GET_V method(for F4 pop ups) if there is a code like

CALL METHOD comp_controller->window_manager->create_popup etc.,

A Component Usage will be passed to the method. You can check for the component usage in the Run Time Repository.

You will get the component details.
