How to prevent deleting of a component with RAP code associated with it?

rbuser

Hello,
I would like to be able to prevent the user from deleting of a component,
which has some RAP code associated with it. How to determine such components
explains the article "How To...Find Components With RAP Code", but I'm
looking for a way to execute that check, when the user wants to delete a
component. If there is RAP code associated with it, he should be warned and
the component should remain or get deleted depending on users decission.

There seems to be no such event in the designer... Something like
"OnCanDeleteComponent" or so... How can I achieve this?

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark,

The designer does not offer any method to prevent the user from deleting a
component. This restriction is something we are considering for a later
release. Currently your users will need to be aware which components could
cause RAP issues. Otherwise, you could loop through all the RAP code before
generating the report and deleting any code associated with non-present
components.

Hi Nico,

glad to read, that you consider this for one of the future releases.

To your suggestion: I thought it's not possible to determine via RAP, which
components are present and which are not?

Hi Mark,

I was more thinking you would search the RAP source text for component
references that do not exist. This was more a suggestion to remove the
possibility of any code conflicts if an end-user deletes a component that
may be used elsewhere in RAP code.
