Creating action menu on a field – CRM WebUI.

Hi All,

This document explains how to implement an action menu on a field in WebUI, this feature has been provided since EHP1 but no clear documentation is available on the Web for this .We shall take a scenario where we will add a menu on the field EMAIL on Business partner screen in web-UI.

1. Create a class ZL_ACTION_MENU in SE24 with super class “CL_BSP_WD_ACTION_PROVIDER” .

2. Redefine the method IF_BSP_WD_ACTION_DESCR_EXT~BUILD_ACTIONS of class ZL_ACTION_MENU with the code below :

METHOD if_bsp_wd_action_descr_ext~build_actions.

* Hasan : Testing for action menu – Testing

   DATA : ls_acts TYPE wcfs_thtmlb_action_menu_item.

   CASE iv_attribute_path.

     WHEN ‘SMARTFORM.’.

       ls_acts–id = ‘QC1’.

       ls_acts–text = ‘New Email Form’.

       ls_acts–onselect = ‘quick_create’.

       ls_acts–icon_src = ‘/sap/bc/bsp/sap/thtmlb_styles/sap_skins/default/images/email.gif’.

       APPEND ls_acts TO et_actions.

       CLEAR ls_acts.

     WHEN OTHERS.

       ls_acts–id = ‘ACT1’.

       ls_acts–text = ‘Send mail’.

       ls_acts–onselect = ’email’.

       ls_acts–icon_src = ‘/sap/bc/bsp/sap/thtmlb_styles/sap_skins/default/images/email.gif’.

       APPEND ls_acts TO et_actions.

       CLEAR ls_acts.

       ls_acts–id = ‘ACT2’.

       ls_acts–text = ‘Check existence’.

       ls_acts–onselect = ‘VERIFY’.

       APPEND ls_acts TO et_actions.

   ENDCASE.

ENDMETHOD.

3. Then enhance the component BP_ADDR , view : StandardAddress ; node : STANDARDADDRESS .

4. Here create the method GET_AC for the field STRUCT.E_MAILSMT, with the code :

method GET_AC_E_MAILSMT.

* Hasan : Testing for action menu.

data : lr_action type REF TO zl_action_menu.

create OBJECT lr_Action.

rv_action_descriptor ?= lr_action.

endmethod.

This will enable the action menu on the attribute.
