Web Dynpro DateNavigatorMarking API – IWDDateNavigatorMarking

Definition

This view element allows you to highlight entries of a specific category within the DateNavigator UI element. You can also define a tooltip for the highlighted entry. You should only use this view element in conjunction with the DateNavigatorLegend element, with which you can also explain each highlighting to the user. For more information, see the DateNavigator UI element description.

Description of the View Element Properties

· category
Specifies the path to the context attribute which stores the category of the highlighting. The property allows you to specify how the aforementioned date is highlighted and displayed in color. The highlighting in color is used to delimit individual categories. Multiple highlighted dates can share a category. You should bind the property to a context attribute of the multiple context node, because otherwise the system uses the same category for each highlighting.
The category property can take the following values and is represented by the list type WDDateMarkingCategory:

four	Color of category four. *)
one	Color of category one. *)
three	Color of category three. *)
two	Color of category two. *)

*) The color for each highlighting depends on the respective design theme used – the documentation refers to the SAP Standard Design 2002.

· dataSource
Specifies the path to the context node which stores the date, category, and tooltip of the highlighting.

· date
Specifies the path to the context attribute which stores the date of the highlighting.

· tooltip
Specifies the path to the context attribute which stores the tooltip of the highlighting. You should bind the property to a context attribute of the multiple context node, because otherwise each highlighting has the same tooltip.
