Adding WindowsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

  • Web Dynpro DC has been created.

  • Definition of WD component has been finalized; with the component definition, the tools automatically create a window unit which has the same name as the component.

Context

For your WD application, you can create one or more windows. The window is the largest logical, purely administrative WD user interface element. Furthermore, the window serves as an interface between the root component and the other entities of the application. For this purpose, the window uses the interface view uniquely assigned to it. The window is an obligatory unit for the application, and the Window Editor is the assigned tool where you can graphically define the user interface units and navigation entities. For a WD application, you can define one or more of Window units.

Procedure

  1. Choose Create Window on the Windows component node, and make the required specifications in the wizard.
  2. If needed, add one or more interface views to the window definition.

Results

The WD Generator creates the following XML files:

  • < myWindow >. wdwindow

  • < myWindow >. wdcontroller

  • < myWindow >. wdnavigation

In the Navigator view, you can display these files by choosing Start of the navigation path Open With  Next navigation step  Text Editor End of the navigation path from the context menu. Under no circumstances should you make any changes to these files.
