Bring SAPGUI mode to the front

[Enno-Wulff]

Although the SAPGUI is called to be dead, there are sometimes new things to learn. this week I learned how to bring a SAPGUI mode to the front. The code has been found in the transport organizer where it is needed to bring the popup for request selection when editing a dynpro in the screen painter.

The following demonstration report can be started in two overlapping SAPGUI modes with about one second time shift.

REPORT zz_activate_gui_mode.



DO 10 TIMES.

  CALL FUNCTION 'SAPGUI_PROGRESS_INDICATOR'

    EXPORTING

      text = |Mode: { sy-modno }  Index: { sy-index }|.



  CALL FUNCTION 'SAPGUI_SET_PROPERTY'

    DESTINATION 'SAPGUI'

    EXPORTING

      property = 'ACTIVATE'

      value    = 'X'

    EXCEPTIONS

      OTHERS   = 0.



  WAIT UP TO 3 SECONDS.

ENDDO.

You will see that rotationally the next mode will come to front.

Maybe you will find a use for this functionality...
