Caution

The integration of AcfExecute in Web Dynpro ABAP dialog boxes (popups) is not supported.

More information: Active Component Framework (ACF)

Prerequisites

The prerequisites are described in SAP Note 1178747 Information published on SAP site.

Methods

As with OfficeControl methods can be executed. For this the ACF method handler CL_WDR_ACFEXECUTE_HNDL is required.

Unlike other Web Dynpro ABAP UI elements, AcfExecute is implemented in a way that means the action can only be triggered by a method call. For AcfExecute, the execute action only takes place if an IF_WD_ACFEXECUTE~EXECUTE method call occurs.
