Central configuration of UI elements visibility

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I'm working with SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.3 (CE), Web Dynpro for Java and NWDS on Windows 7. As thin client, we're using IE v8.

One Question: Is it possible to configure the UI elements visibility from one central point for all Web Dynpro (Application) elements? Otherwise, I have to check all UI elements (from label to tab) and switch the visibility property value.

A sample: I have one Web Dynpro application with two windows and two views. Within the view the UI elements are placed.

Many thanks, regards,

Cengiz

Hi,

Why not simply put your UI elements inside a container, and switch the container's visibility?

Hi,

thanks for reply.

Ok, so I have less work, but still I'm looking for the way how to configure it from a central point. Because if you have more than 20 views, you have to touch every view (container) separately.

Hi Cengiz,

Why not simply have a context attribute of type Visibility, which is shared by all containers that need to be hidden at the same time (i.e. bind the visibility property of those containers to this context attrib), and set that context attribute centrally?

That way you only have to set it just once

Hi,

Yeah, that's true, and it's the solution I was ready to implement. But I have to "sell" it before I can

Many thanks,
