wdThis.wdGetAPI().requestFocus() Doesn't work when using Message Manager

[Former Member]

Greetings

In CE 7.1 Webdynpro Java for an application that runs in PieClient I used the below code.

wdThis.wdGetAPI().requestFocus(wdContext.currentHand_Add_MaterialsElement(),
wdcontext.nodeHand_Add_Materials().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateMixersView.IHand_Add_MaterialsElement.MATNR));

As soon as an action that throws an error message or information message or warning message using Message Manager is triggered the request focus method doesn't place the cursor in the desired input field.

Kindly help me out.

Tx.

Hi Durai,

The IWDAttributeInfo is deprecated in CE7.1. use can try following code:

//For Node Validations

IWDAttributePointer <Object>= wdContext.node<NodeName>().get<NodeName>ElementAt(i).getAttributePointer("<Attribute>");

//For Attributes

IWDAttributePointer <Object>= wdContext.currentContextElement().getAttributePointer("<Attribute>");

messageManager.reportContextAttributeMessage(<Object>,<message>,<args>);

Hope this helps u.

I tried what you have given, as soon as error messages display the cursor navigation is lost from the screen. I need to point the mouse manually to enter information. The application is used in handheld, to use pointer in touch screen seems to be very difficult for the end users.

Tx again for your valuable reply.

Hi Durai,

try using the reportContextAttributeMessage() API for acheiving what u want:

Eg:

IWDAttributeIfo object = wdContext.currentContextElement().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("<Attribute to set focus>");

if(<condition>)

{

---<messageManagerObject>.reportContextAttributeMessage(<attributeInfoObject>,<message>,<parameters>,<cancelNavigation>);

}

Hope this helps you.
