View: Components of a View ControllerLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The last four tab pages of the View Editor contain the parts of the view controller that can be changed:

  • Context

  • Attributes

  • Actions

  • Methods

Context

The context of a view differs from the contexts of other controllers by its restricted visibility: Nodes and attributes that you create within a view context can only be used there, whereas the context elements of other controllers can be used for the cross-view data transport through binding to several other contexts. Data can even be transported across components using the interface controller.

More information: Controller Context.

Where-Used List

In a view or component controller for context elements you can call up the Where-Used List using the symbol in the menu bar in the Web Dynpro explorer. Select the required context element, and choose CTRL+Shift+F3.

A list of usages in UI bindings, external mappings, and in method source codes is displayed.

Attributes

You can maintain attributes for the context of a view.

More information: Controller Attributes.

Actions

Actions are special types of events.

More information: Controller Events.

Methods

In addition to event handlers for actions and inbound plugs as well as events of other controllers, you can create simple methods for a view controller.
