WebDynpro - Determine version of excel installed at user's desktop

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have Webdynpro application which downloads file to user's desktop using wdr_task=>client_window->client->attach_file_to_response. Requirement is to check the version of excel installed at the user's desktop and download file XLS or XLSX depending on the version of excel installed at the user's desktop. We can not use CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value in webdynpro. Please suggest solution to check version of excel installed at user's desktop.

Thanks,

Ashwin.

Hi Ashwin,

I am not sure if we do have any API to get the version of excel installed in users machine through Webdynpro.

It is better to download the table data in the lower version of excel(xls), as always the higher versions(xlsx) of excel does even support the lower versions(xls) too.

Hi,

I think it is not possible to determine the excel version version installed on user's machine.

Thanks
