MenuActionItem Properties

Properties in View Designer

• disabledImageSource

  Path where the icon is stored and which is displayed if enabled=false.

• enabled

  Specifies whether or not an event can be triggered by a user interaction. If the value is TRUE, the view elements positioned above it are used at runtime to determine the value. This means that if the surrounding container is not enabled, all the containers within this are also not enabled.

  In Web Dynpro ABAP "enabled" is always passed down from parent to child. If a UI element lies nested in another UI element that has enabled=FALSE, then this UI element has also enabled=false.
