SectionHeader (SAP Library - Web Dynpro for ABAP)

SectionHeader

A SectionHeader is used to display a header for a section in a form.

You can link a SectionHeader to a TransparentContainer by setting the attribute labeledBy:
TransparentContainer.labeledBy=SectionHeader.Id if TransparentContainer.isLayout=false

Do’s for SectionHeader

Always use the SectionHeader element in a TransparentContainer element with isLayoutContainer=false as a title.

Don’ts for SectionHeader

Never use the SectionHeader element in a View element without first associating it with the TransparentContainer element as described above.

Note

If the SectionHeader and the TransparentContainer are in accessibility mode, keep in mind the following:

● The SectionHeader cannot be accessed using tabulators.

● The accessibility text fort he TransparentContainer is the text in the accessibilityDescription property. If this is not set, and if there is a SectionHeader in TransparentContainer, the SectionHeader.text property is used as the accessibility text.
