If the component usage is not defined at design time, it is not possible to embed an interface view of this component usage into a ViewUIElementContainer of another view. It is also not possible to define a navigation link connecting any outbound plug of an existing view to an inbound plug of this interface view at design time. In this case methods of the Web Dynpro API have to be applied.
I will use the example in the following two blogs to demonstrate the trick.
(1) Step by Step to create UI elements and context node attribute in the runtime
(2) Step by step to use Component usage clone
after you specify the number of rows you want to generate and click the create button, all UI elements and context node attribute will be generated in the runtime. The UI elements marked in blue come from the interface view of another component, and this view embedding logic is also done dynamically in the runtime.
Step3
In method GET_VALUE_BY_INDEX, store the component usage of both static and dynamic one into the attribute GT_USAGE_NAME created in step 2.
DATA(lo_static_com_usage) = wd_this->wd_cpuse_zclone_example( ).
DATA: lo_generic_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,
lo_interface_control TYPE REF TO ZIWCI_DYNAMICUSAGE.
READ TABLE wd_this->gt_cmp_usages ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL() INDEX iv_index.
CASE iv_index.
WHEN 1.
IF lo_static_com_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
lo_static_com_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
APPEND 'ZCLONE_EXAMPLE' TO wd_this->gt_usage_name.
lo_generic_usage = lo_static_com_usage.
WHEN OTHERS.
READ TABLE wd_this->gt_cmp_usages ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL() INDEX iv_index.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
DATA(lv_usage_name) = 'DYNAMIC_USAGE' && sy-index.
data(lo_dyn_usage) = lo_static_com_usage->create_comp_usage_of_same_type( name = lv_usage_name ).
APPEND lo_dyn_usage TO wd_this->gt_cmp_usages.
APPEND lv_usage_name TO wd_this->gt_usage_name.
ENDIF.
IF lo_dyn_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
lo_dyn_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
lo_generic_usage = lo_dyn_usage.
ENDCASE.
lo_interface_control ?= lo_generic_usage->get_interface_controller( ).
rv_output = lo_interface_control->get_field_value( iv_index ).
endmethod.Step4
In method ONACTIONCREATE, now also create separate view container UIElement instance for each component usage. That view container will be used to embed
the interface view exposed by component ZDYNAMICUSAGE. Then we use API prepare_dynamic_navigation to create a navigation link dynamically, from host view in component ZDYNAMIC to the interface view of component ZDYNAMICUSAGE. The component usage name stored in attribute gt_usage_name in step 3 will be used during API call. Finally fire the outbound plug of MAIN view to make the embedded view displayed in UI.
