Easy way to hide/disable elements(Texts/Fields) in a View of a Web Dynpro Application

Introduction

This tutorial is for beginners. A requirement might come in where you have to hide fields in a Web Dynpro application. There are several blog posts regarding the same but they are very lengthy & quiet confusing sometimes for the beginners. For this reason, I am writing this short blog post. ๐Ÿ™‚

Solution

Please follow the below-mentioned steps to achieve the same.

  1. Enter the Tcode SE80: Object Navigator
  2. Mention the name ofย  Web Dynpro Comp./Intf.
  3. Go to the Methods tab of the Views node. You will be able to see all the methods related to the views.
  4. Create a new method here, say with a name: ZMETHOD_HIDE. Provide a description of the method.
    Provide a parameter: IM_CONTAINER with REFto CL_WD_UIELEMENT_CONTAINER.Parameter
  5. Enter the below-mentioned codes in that method. Please refer to the comments for further details.Method%20for%20hiding%20fields
