Set GMail as default mail program in Chrome
0I don’t know way but in the last 2 days I could not use GMail as default program for mailto addresses, looking around I found this post in the Google support.
The solution below was exactly what I needed.
I report the solution if any of you may need it
1. Enable javascript handling in Chrome. You may be able to do this through the options menu, but I did it manually.
"protocol_handler": {
"excluded_schemes": {
"afp": true,
"data": true,
"disk": true,
"disks": true,
"file": true,
"hcp": true,
"javascript": true,
"mailto": false,
"ms-help": true,
2. Launch Chrome
3. Open GMail and login
4. In the address bar type or copy and paste
javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler(“mailto”,”https://mail.google.com/mail/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s”,”GMail”) or if you have multi account
javascript:window.navigator.registerProtocolHandler(“mailto”,”https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?extsrc=mailto&url=%s”,”GMail”)
and press Enter or hit Go.
5. You’re done.
6. To cleanup, close Chrome, change the javascript setting back to true in Local State.
Dropdown by key or Dropdown by index, that is the question of a WDA developer
0Introduction
During my experience as a Web Dynpro for ABAP developer, I often had the doubt if it was better to use the UI element DropDownByKey or its brother DropDownByIndex.
In these last days, I realized that I always prefer and use the DropDownByKey, it doesn’t matter if the list is inside a table, an ALV table or a simple element in a view.
Clearly the index approach is also working well but I feel it as a more complex task that requires spending more time, and I’m wondering to know about your experience.
As a reference, I’m sharing below the step-by-step guide to build a DDL even without necessarily entering the fixed values associated to a domain of the field.
SAP Mentor Outreach is now available on JQuery Mobile
0Many of you already know the application SAP Mentor Outreach published by Thorsten Franz about 6 months ago. This application is designed basically to “help SAP Community to connect o SAP Mentors” as Thorsten wrote. Recently Bjoern Weigand and John Moy published the iOS version porting for iPhone and iPad.
What is still missing? An application that would be useful for all the other mobile devices; few weeks ago I decided to think about a porting of this application in JQuery Mobile and today I’m proud to present SAP Mentor Outreach cross mobile version. I’m just a bit in late for TechEd Bangalore but in time for TechEd Madrid.

SAP Inside track ended and it was a great event. When I look back and I think on that day I can have only good memories: great people, interesting sessions, passion and enthusiasm to share and exchange experiences all together.

As expected, such kind of events is a great opportunity for SAP professionals to meet together in an informal atmosphere; and also is a unique possibility for most of the participants to meet in person many of valuable SCN members and contributors, that usually are known virtually.

Less than 3 weeks and SAP Inside Track Milan 2011 will be live.
This will be the first SCN Community event organized in my country and it will be a great opportunity to meet in person many SCN members.

The response from Italian community goes over any expectation, we have already more than 70 members from 23 different companies, 4 SAP Mentors (yes I’m in

Sergio Ferrari; 17 sessions hosted by 14 speakers covering lot of different topics.
I want to underline that this will be an international event with people coming from 3 different countries (Italy, Germany and Spain).
