Getting border around the layout in webdynpro abap

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am looking for option to get  border around transparent container or group layout in webdynpro abap.

Actually I have placed my UI elements in the group layout now i want border around the layout.

How to  get the border ? is it possible through group or do i need to take transparent container.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

I have used the property 'cellBackgroundDesign' of the Matrix layout to highlight or border. This helps in differentiating two different groups or highlight a group.

(The trick was to create one parent group with matrix layout and inside this parent group create other  sub-group(s). Set the 'cellBackgroundDesign' of sub-group)

So try using the matrix layout.

Hope this helps!!!

Best Regards,

Hi,

May be at theme level in Portal some changes have been done by Portal Consultants for Web Dynpro UI Element. In portal using Theme Editor Web Dynpro UI element look-n-feel can be changed to some extent.

So may be while developing it shows what you have designed but when you check the same in Portal, it might look different because of changes in Theme.

This will help you to get the border using contextpanel

Hi,

I agree with Tushar, and probably this can be taken care by Theme editor. Please see below link which explains setting the Group property in theme editor. Please consult your portal consultant.

You can achieve this using nested containers.

For example, make a gridlayout transparent container, and set the background to fill2. Then change the padding for left, right, top and bottom all to 3. Set the stretch horizontally property.

Next put a second transparent container inside of it, and set the background to plain.

Now you should get a border.

Hello all,

Thank you all for ur replies,

I could achive the requirement by hiding the group header and setting 'CellBackgroud design' of the group to 'Sapcolor' ,Our portal theme sets white background to sap color.

Hi Bala ,

I think there is no option for Border in the container. You can try Keeping your view in a View container UI element and embed in your window. Which gives a separate look from other UI elements .

Hi,

    Use Contextpanel to get the border.
