METHOD CALL_METHOD

[Former Member]

In the CL_GUI_TIMER class there is a RUN method , and in this call there is a method CALL_METHOD 'SetTimer'.

well, what is this ''SetTimer'' ?

Or in CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES

class is 'BrowseForFolder', are this GUI METHODS in C or OCXs ?

There are many ?

Thanks.

Don't think you going to be able to do that, you have no control over the frontend methods and you should not try calling them directly. In your case, with the gui timer, you may be able to use fracions of seconds, like .5 seconds, if not, then only whole seconds.

Yes, these methods are not in the ABAP tier, but are embedded into the frontend or SAPgui. There are a lot, but I don't think we really have anyway of know what all of them are, or how to use them.

I would find another method as 'SetTimer', but with an interval in milliseconds..

Thanks.

Ok thanks, otherwise what is the problem directly call?

[RichHeilman]

Well, because there is a whole framework built around this methods in the control framwork, and calling these methods directly is not supported. Basically if you call it and it works, it may not work after an upgrade, If you use the supplied framework, then calls to the functionality will be supported and will most likely survive an upgrade.
