Embedding a View in a View Set 

You can either embed an existing view in a view set, or create the view when you embed it.

Prerequisites

Before you embed a view, you must define a view set. The following steps are carried out using the Navigation Modeler.

Procedure: Embedding a New View

If you want to create the view when you embed it, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      In the tool selection list, select Embed View.

       2.      In the layout area of the Navigation Modeler, click on the cell of the view set in which the view is to be embedded.

       3.      In the wizard, choose Embed New View and, in the next window, enter a name for the view.

       4.      Use the package that you entered for the component definition or select another package by choosing Browse.

       5.      Choose Finish.

Procedure: Embedding an Existing View

To embed an existing view in a view set, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      In the tool selection list, select Embed View.

       2.      In the Navigation Modeler, click on the cell of the view set.

       3.      Choose Embed Existing View in the wizard.

       4.      In the next wizard window, select the desired view and close with Finish.

Result

The view is displayed graphically in the Navigation Modeler. In the Web Dynpro Explorer view, the embedded view is an element of the view set cell. At file system level, the system creates a view usage for the embedded view in the XML file <myWindow>.wdwindow as an element of the view set definition. You can display the file in the Navigator view. Under no circumstances should you make any changes to this file.

You can embed more than one view in a view set area. With the navigation definition, you specify which view is to be displayed at runtime. Furthermore, the default flag specifies which views or view sets are displayed as initial.
