Definition

The graphics products organized by product management. All available graphics products that can be handled by the Graphical Framework are stored in product management along with some technical information and a priority.

The class for product management is CL_GFW_PRODUCTS.

Use

A graphics proxy can use product management to request a graphics product.

You can change the priority of the graphics products by maintaining the database table TGPM. It is based on the database table TGPN, maintained by SAP. You can maintain the settings in TGPN with transaction SM30, table/view V_TGPN.

You can find more information in the class documentation to CL_GFW_PRODUCTS in the class builder.

Structure

All products are entered in product management by graphics type and platform. The priority determines the search sequence. In the case of an ActiveX control the user should specify the ActiveX name from the registry as the technical name. The usage indicates the type of component (ActiveX, JavaBean or external program).

The wildcard * (asterisk) stands for any platform.
