Why do you need oView? You are not using it further in the code..? If you want to access fields from the UI you can use Core.byId() from sap/ui/core/Core

Hi Willem,

It is a sample code I have taken from the internet to use in my requirement, and found it in other sample coes as well, but could not make it work either way. It therefore is for my knowledge that i want to understand why it won't work for me.

Thanks.

I see that you're working with controller extension , you can get the view with : this.base.getExtensionAPI()._view

Additionally this link could help you working with Dialogs and Upload files : https://blogs.sap.com/2022/11/21/upload-data-from-excel-in-cap-node.js/

The methode getView() is part of sap.ui.core.mvc.Controller which you have commented.

From my view, the controller might not be described properly.

Yes, I added the commented part after looking some of the solutions on the internet, but that unfortunstely did not work. What would be the best way to make it work?

Thanks.

Follow the instructions here to see how to define a controller (notice Controller.extend). You are returning a regular object instead of an instance of the Controller class. Your controller must inherit sap.ui.core.mvc.Controller otherwise the method getView() is not available.
