Dropdown values in Property/Value column missing

[Former Member]

Hi Experts.

I am new to Web dynpro Development and have the following problem. When I define a UI element the value dropdown help is missing in the Value Column. I presume it should be loaded somewhere but do not know were and by whom. Please assist so I can get the editor to work properly.

Hi ,

As per your above snapshot, you want drop down values in design property fo the label as shown below

If so, the values in that dropdown are maintained in domain WDUI_LABEL_DESIGN (PFB the snapshot)

Other alternative way

1) Create an attribute of type : WDUI_LABEL_DESIGN and bind it to the design property of the label.

2) In WDDOINIT( ) of the corresponding view, set the value to that attribute as per your requirement ( i.e . 02 = EMPHASIZED,01-LIGHT,00=STANDARD).

Revert back for more query's...happy to help you

Hope this will help you.

Thanks

Hi Katrice.

Thanks for the reply but I am still confused. Surely the values should be available as a standard. I have noticed that you could enter values like 'header1' and 'header2" as values for the "design" property of a Label UI element. I would have expected these different values to be available when I click on the dropdown icon. When I do this in my editor I find no values.

If I understand you correctly you suggest that I do this manually by creating the attribute and setting it to a specific value using the WDDOINIT method for each UI element I use in the view. If I may ask why is it then that we have the dropdown value if there are no values behind it. It is as if the domain used have no value table attached to it.

Thanks for the help but I need more

Hi Coenraad,

Can you pls check domain WDUI_LABEL_DESIGN ( if it has any values ) in SE11?.

I think in your case it has no-values.

Thanks

Hi KH.

I checked and this domain does have a value range with 3 entries, standard, light and emphasized. Athough no values are available when I click on the dropdown and I pressume that this field is defined in terms of the domain DWUI_LABEL_DESIGN, I am able to enter the value "Header1" into the design value field.  If this field did uses this domain then it should not allow any other values than those in the value table and when you hit the dropdown value the values from the value table should be availble. In my editor these values are not available.
