Liquid UI - Documentation - 6.28 view()

6.28 view()

Purpose

With view(), you can view files in the native SAP screen.

The view() command in WS is used to enable users to view files within native SAP screens. Supported file formats that can be viewed in this manner are the following:

  • GIF
  • JPEG
  • HTML
  • RTF


Syntax

  • To display a file inside the SAP screen, specify the starting and ending points in the view command.
view([startrow,startcol][endrow,endcol],"filename",{"option":value…});

Note: There is no need of using the coordinates in the command when the file or window is displayed in a non-sap window.


Properties

  • startrow, startcol, endrow, endcol - row and column co-ordinates.
  • filename - Name of the file.

Note: Beginning with Server release 3.4.447.0, the view() command is supported on Liquid UI WS Server. However, there are some limitations. 

View command supports only the following file formats on Server.

  • filename.html
  • URL (e.g. www.liquid-ui.com)

Note: Currently, View() is not supporting options on the Liquid UI Server.


Available Options

The view() command takes the following options.

"closewindow":".."

"closewindow" - This option closes the window opened by the command.

"floating":".."

"floating" - This option opens and enables the window to move on the screen.

"maximize":".."

"maximize" - This option is usually used in conjunction with the floating option and opens the window to fullscreen.

"returnwindow":".."

"returnwindow": true - This option creates a variable that contains the internal window handle of the created view window.

"template":".."

Note: To use the view() command, you must install the file 'pinnacle.dll' in the same directory as the executable of the application in which view is to be used.
