AcfExecute starts an external application such as Notepad or Paint in A Web Dynpro application.
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 .
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.
