Handling Web Icons (SAP Library - Web Dynpro for ABAP)

Handling Web Icons

When user interfaces are created for Web applications graphical elements of a fixed size for multiple use are needed, for example for using on buttons or as status icons on screens or in lists. These icons are used as the graphical image of an object or a function. SAP provides predefined Web icons for the standard objects and functions that are used most frequently.

The standard symbols are addressed in Web Dynpro normally using symbolic names. The symbolic name always begins with WEBICON_*. You can use this name as the name for the source in the Image UI element.

Supported URL Formats

Format	Description	Ttranslation in
WEBICON_<NAME>	Format of the new predefined Web icons	Uppercase letters
ICON_<NAME>	Format of older SAP icons See also NAME column of table ICON.	Uppercase letters
$NAME$ or $NAME$/path	$NAME$ refers to an entry in transaction SM59 for an HTTP connection (type G). If a path is specified, it is attached to the path prefix already defined. This is the only way absolute URLs can be used.	$NAME$ sequence in upper case letters, /path in lower case letters
/path	Relative path details from a server to a MIME Repository entry. This entry begins with the root of the MIME repository. The URL is always loaded by the active server. If the path is a Web Dynpro path, its name is converted to an icon. Otherwise no checks to ensure the validity of the URL can be made.	Lowercase letters
image.ext or folder/image.ext	Loads an image from the MIME folder of the active component. This is the short form of the following format.
{/NAMESPACE/COMPONENT}/image.ext or {/NAMESPACE/COMPONENT}/folder/image.ext	The image is specified relative to another component. This means that the image is stored in the MIME folder of the component in question. For components within the SAP namespace the /NAMESPACE/-sequence is not specified.	Namespace and component in upper case, path in lower case.
[WWWDATA]/objectName	Loads an image from the SAP Web repository of ITS.
