Hyperlink to a local file.

[Former Member]

Hi ABAP Masters,

I am developing a screen program that gets a file from a local PC (example desktop) and then there is an output field that displays the hyperlink of that file.

Is it possible to create a hyperlink to that local file such that when the hyperlink is clicked the file is downloaded for viewing?

If yes, can you please help me on how to do this?

Thank you so much!

Regards,

Onyx

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for your suggestion.

Sorry I am not familiar with text edit control.

Can you give me an overview about this?

Your response is highly appreciated.

On double click on the file path you need to capture that path of the file and pass it on to CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE method and it will open the file for you.

Hi J@Y,

How will I capture the path of the file so that I will pass it on to the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE module?

Thanks for your help..
