[former_member184578]

Introduction

This document helps how to close web dynpro application browser window automatically after specified event/time.

Here I will explain a simple Scenario: After displaying success message the browser has to close automatically in 5 seconds.

Step by Step Process

Step 1: Create a Web Dynpro Component.

   Go to the SE80 transaction and create a Web Dynpro Component.

Enter Description and click on ok.

Save and Activate the component.

Step 2: Create EXIT plug

Go to the Outbound Plugs tab of the window and create an EXIT plug with the parameter CLOSE_WINDOW of type WDY_BOOLEAN.

Step 3: Data Binding

Go to the Context tab of Main View and create and create attributes : EMPID of type STRING and ENABLE of type WDY_BOOLEAN.

Right click on the Context and click on create attribute.

Create attribute EMPID of type STRING.

Similarly create an attribute ENABLE of type WDY_BOOLEAN.

Step 4: Layout Design.

   Now Go to Layout tab:

1. Create label UI with text 'Enter employee ID’.

     Right click on ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER and click on Insert Element

   Enter ID and select UI 'Label'.

Similarly create Input filed EMPID and bind the value to EMPID attribute.

Now create a button UI element.

Enter button Text and click on create button to create an Action for button.

Enter Action name, description and click on OK.

Now create a message area UI element to display messages.

Create a Timed Trigger UI element.

Bind the enable property of the timed trigger UI to the attribute ENABLE.

Set the delay time of timed trigger UI element.

Create an Action for timed trigger UI.

Step 5: Create Component Usage

Now go to Properties tab and click on create button to create controller usage.

Select the controller by double clicking on it. We have to add the controller to make EXIT plug method of window in View Controller.

Now go to Methods tab of MAIN view and write the below code ONACTIONREGISTER method.

ONACTIONREGISTER

METHOD onactionregister .    DATA lo_el_context             TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.    DATA ls_context                 TYPE wd_this->element_context.    DATA lv_empid                    TYPE wd_this->element_context-empid.    DATA lo_api_controller         TYPE REF TO if_wd_controller.    DATA lo_message_manager TYPE REF TO if_wd_message_manager. *  get element via lead selection    lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ). *  get single attribute    lo_el_context->get_attribute(      EXPORTING        name =  `EMPID`      IMPORTING        value = lv_empid ). * Register the employee for event *  CALL FUNCTION 'ZEMP_REGISTER' *    EXPORTING *      emp_id = lv_empid.    IF sy-subrc = 0. *  get message manager       lo_api_controller ?= wd_this->wd_get_api( ).       CALL METHOD lo_api_controller->get_message_manager         RECEIVING           message_manager = lo_message_manager. *  report message       CALL METHOD lo_message_manager->report_success         EXPORTING           message_text = 'Employee Registered Successfully!'. *   Enable Self destruction        lo_el_context->set_attribute(          name =  `ENABLE`          value =  abap_true ).    ENDIF. ENDMETHOD.

And Enter the below code in ONACTIONCLOSE_BROWSER method

ONACTIONCLOSE_BROWSER
METHOD onactionclose_browser .    DATA lo_zwd_auto_close_demo TYPE REF TO ig_zwd_auto_close_demo .     lo_zwd_auto_close_demo =   wd_this->get_zwd_auto_close_demo_ctr( ). *  Exit Application and Close Browser      lo_zwd_auto_close_demo->fire_exit_plg(       close_window = abap_true       ). ENDMETHOD.

Step 6: Create Application.

Save and Activate the Web Dynpro Component.  Create the Web Dynpro Application and Save it.

Enter description and save it.

Test Application

Now Right click on Web Dynpro Application and click on Test.

The application will open in the browser. Enter the employee ID and click on Register button.

Now we will get success message upon successful registration of the employee.

After displaying the message the browser will close automatically after 5 seconds (delay time of timed trigger).

In chrome and IE7 the browser window will close automatically. In higher versions of IE the browser will prompt to confirm closing of the browser.

Conclusion

Here I demonstrated a simple Web Dynpro Application. We can use this according to our Requirements.
