F1 Help

Former Member — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 18:04:05 GMT

Dear Experts,

I am writing a program that updates the variants of other programs. Some of the programs need to be called once a week and while others need to be called several weeks in my program.

I am desinging a radio button with a T-Code beside in the selection screen area. When I point the T-code and press F1, I need to see a pop up window explainning the information of this program.

Is that possible to do this?

Thanks for your help!

Anna

Try like this:


PARAMETERS: P_R1  RADIOBUTTON GROUP RD1,
            P_R2  RADIOBUTTON GROUP RD1.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON HELP-REQUEST FOR P_R1.
  CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_DISPLAY_TEXT'
    EXPORTING
      TITEL              = 'Help'
      TEXTLINE1          = 'This is test'
*   TEXTLINE2          = ' '
     START_COLUMN       = 25
     START_ROW          = 6
            .

Regards,

Why don't you maintain the program documentation. So that you will get standard 'i' button on the application tool bar.

Hi Naimesh,

Your solution is what I want. Thanks for your help!

I would like to extend my question as follow.

I have created a instance method which pops up a F1 Help window in a global class. I want to call this method in Selection-Screen area. For example:


AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON HELP-REQUEST FOR p_r1.
  call method Z_UPDATE_VAR=>F1HELP
          EXPORTING
            title_in   = 'Title'
            content_in = 'This is a test'.

The F1HELP is defined as a static and public method. However, it always complains that the method is unknown or protected or private.

I tried to declare an object of Z_UPDATE_VAR before calling this method, it still complains.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anna.
