Once a Web Dynpro component has been created or called, the Component Editor appears in the object list to the left of the Workbench window.
Note
When you create a component, the system automatically creates a view (default name MAIN), and embeds it into the window that is also created automatically.
Double-click in the component name to display the component on the right hand side of the screen.
The component view lists the administrative details such as the name of the person who created it, the creation date or the transport packet that has been assigned.
At this point you can use the checkbox to decide whether or not your component should be checked for Accessibility.
Once it has been saved, the new component can be displayed in the object list and you can create elements for it.
In the following table, you can declare the usage of Web Dynpro components.
Web Dynpro components can be nested. This means that you can integrate any number of other, already existing components into a component. Declaring a component usage is the basic requirement for mapping to the interface controller context of the used component.
So that you can declare such a usage in the table on the Used Components tab page, the window must be in change mode.
Component usage
In the first table column you create a name for the new use. This name must be unique within the component.
Component
In the second column in the table, enter the name of the component that you want to use. The input help for this field gives you a list of the last objects that you selected. You can also use a downstream search screen to select and use every other component in the Repository Information System.
Description of the component
The Editor automatically copies the description that was entered for the component that you selected to use. You cannot change the description here.
For more information about further processing components that are entered for usage, see Working with Component Usages.
On the Implemented Interfaces tab you can enter existing Web Dynpro component interfaces for use in your component that is currently being processed.
