Call Pop-Up for WebDynpro from a Business AddIn?

Question

We got a Web Dynpro Application which was created with the Floorplan Manager. By clicking a specific button I start a Business AddIn which check some conditions and then it should show a popup on the screen with a message for the user. Is there a way I can accomplish that?

One way to get a PopUp (eg confirmation) window in Floorplan applications is to overwrite the NEEDS_CONFIRMATION method of the Interface IF_FPM_GUIBB_*_EXT inside your feeder-class.

Create a reference to cl_fpm_confirmation_request and put this one in the export-parameter EO_CONFIRMATION_REQUEST of the Method.

By Example:

METHOD if_fpm_guibb_list_ext~needs_confirmation.

DATA li_req TYPE REF TO cl_fpm_confirmation_request.

CASE io_event->mv_event_id.
WHEN 'YOUR_EVENT_ID'.

CREATE OBJECT li_req
  EXPORTING
    it_confirmation_text   = 'Plaintext in Content of Popup'
    iv_window_title        = 'Title of the Popup'
    iv_button_text_approve = 'Text Approve-Button'
    iv_button_text_reject  = 'Text Reject-Button'
    .

eo_confirmation_request = li_confrequ.

ENDCASE.
ENDMETHOD.

The method will be called before the PROCESS_EVENT-Method an will override it when you cancel the popup.

Please be aware that every GUIBB-Implementation has it´s own extension interface, e.g. List, Tree, ...
