Hi Mathew,

Thank you for the reply,

If For example I have opened VA01, VA02 and VA03 .

Now when I execute the program(with the desired TCODE like VA01 or VA02 or VA03 which are already opened) this should open that active session of transaction.

More or less I want to achive the functionality like Alt+Tab.

Regards,

Shadab.

Hi Kiran,

Actually I want to get the minimize button at the modal dailog screen and searched regarding this on the forum too.

We get the close button on modal dailog screen but not a minimize one.

So I thaught a work around of giving a button and calling a active open session.

Please suggest and correct me if I am wrong

Regards,

Shadab

Do you want to start a transaction/program in another session? (execute an aRFC with a screen)

Hi Sandra,

I want to just get the functionality like Alt+Tab.

Because I am not having minimize button in modal dailog screen and thaught of goinig with this alternate of navigating to active open session.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi,

you can add "create new session " button on tab.

Hi Arpit,

In that case if we had open maximum number of seesions(Max 6) than the system throws an error popup(Maximum sessions has been reached) and it will lead to a bad information for the end user.

You can neither switch between SAP GUI windows nor minimize/maximize SAP GUI windows programmatically from ABAP.

That there is no minimize button on pop-up windows and that those are always on display until closed is a flaw for which I don't know any workaround.

What I proposed in the comments (execute Call Screen within aRFC) is not a popup, but a full screen display, so Alt+Tab would work (as if you open a new session and start a transaction).

You may open an amodal popup, but it can't contain a dynpro, only a GUI control from the Control Framework (for instance: HTML Viewer, ALV Grid) Cf demo program RSDEMO_DIALOGBOX_CONTROL.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for the demo program it was helpful.

Please send me the above solution as an answer(instead of comment) so that I can mark it correct and close the thread.
