Calling dialog boxes of same component
In this recipe, we will see how we can display a dialog box based on a view of the same component. We will create a MAIN view in the MAIN window and another view by the name POP_UP in a new window, WIND_POP_UP. We will then create a button on the MAIN view, which when clicked will display the POP_UP view as a dialog box.
How to do it...
We will now carry out the following steps:
We will define a public attribute by the name
MY_WINDOWto theIF_WD_WINDOWinterface.
We will have a main view embedded within the
MAINwindow.In addition, we will create a
POP_UPview embedded within aWIND_POP_UPwindow.
On the
MAINview, we will create a button.
On action button event handler method, we will write the appropriate code for calling the
POP_UPview as a pop-up dialog box. We use theWD_GET_APImethod of the component controller to get access to the relevant APIs. TheGET_WINDOW_MANAGERfunction is then called in order to get reference to theIF_WD_WINDOW_MANAGER...
