Dynamic selection of component configuration in CRM Web UI

Question

I did the following:

• Created two configurations C1 and C2.
• Enhanced the View and Classes of a standard Web UI component, added a ComboBox field.

What should I do to select dynamically the configuration? - Example:

• If the user chooses "A" in ComboBox then C1 should be shown.
• If the user chooses "B" in ComboBox then C2 should be shown.

Answer 1

Use DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION event of your view, and place something like this:

    IF <ComboBox.Value> EQ "A".
      CALL METHOD me->set_config_keys
        EXPORTING
          iv_object_type          = 'your_object_type'
          iv_object_sub_type      = 'your_sub_obj_type'
          iv_propagate_2_children = abap_false.
    ELSE.
      ...config B
    ENDIF.

Here object and subobject types are the ones you were prompted while creating custom configuration.

The sample implementation of this method one can find in BP_HEAD/AccountDetails standard WebUI component.
