Dynamic Generation of Screen Objects

[Former Member]

Hello,

Currently I’m evaluating to add buttons to a standard screen.

To add a button, normally, I would modify the existing standard screen. Now, I’m looking for a solution without modification the screen.

Is it possible to <b>generate domically elements (such as buttons or fields)</b> on a screen without modification the screen? Can I create such a object and put it on a screen while runtime?

Thank you for your information.

Best regards,

Kurt.

Hi Kurt,

YOu should never nake changes to anything that is standard.

For this purpose there is a concept called BADI / user exit.

YOu have to search for the appropriate badi/user exit for the transaction and then implement it as per the instructions given in the badi/user exit documentation.

Hello Ravi,

Thank you. I already checked the BAdI in this area; but, to add a button, a modification will be necessary. There is no mechanism to handle additonal butten.

My idea would be to generate the button dynamically if possible.

Kurt this is very much possible. You can do this using GuiXT. This allows you to embedd buttons into stanard SAP screens without modifing the actual screen. We have used this to put buttons on VA01/VA02 which allows the user to branch to other custom transactions.
