Action on popup window: open link on click of a URL

[Former Member]

Hi,

in Webdynpro ABAP, i have a popup, which has some links(URL) and i need to be able to click on those links to be able to open the URL. as I realized that, I can only do the action on YES, NO or CANCEL buttons, but nothing inside the popup window. Is there any way I can active this functionality.

Thanks,

Srini.

Hello Srini,

I think in order archive this you need to create a your Own view and use it as a popup .

Please refer to the document http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-2250

Hello,

From my understanding, you want to provide some links in the popup window. Then, the user should be able to click ont he links in the popup window.

In the view which is used as popup, create LinkToURL UI elements. provide the URL in the Ui element parameter. Now, the popup will have the button for actions along witht he URL links.

Just to add further, the premise to my soolution is that, you are using a view to appear as an external window i.e. popup. For confirmation window you will only have the yes,no,cancel buttons as the purpose of confirmation widnow as the anme suggests is to obtain the confirmation from the user.

Hi Sharath,

Here is my complete scenario,

In the WebDynpro application, I have an ALV list display, within that I have some columns which are click enabled. Once the user clicks on a column a popup comes up and open a PDF document(originally Smartform). Now within that PDF popup, I still have to provide further links(like drill down) to open a MS word or MS excel document.

Because I’m using the smartform to open as PDF, I can’t just put it a filed LinktoURL or LinktoAction to open MS word or Excel.

While creating the PDF document(while converting smartform to PDF) in the background, I need to somehow add these Webdynpro features, so that once the popup appears, it has these links enabled.

Any clues will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
