Surround a UIBB with a Panel

Good day everyone,

I am building a GAF Application with two steps:

1. Selection and

2. Main.

In the Main step, I would like to show the selection values from the selection made in step 1. For this I am using a Form-UIBB.

Now, my customer would like to have the selection-form surrounded by a Panel UI-Element, so it can be minimized to have more space on the screen.

I have attempted to solve this requirement as follows:

I have created a WDC, swapped the ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER to a Panel and added the Form-UIBB as a embedded view / component usage. However, this works only when calling it directly as a Web Dynpro Application - not if I embed the WDC as a freestyle UIBB in my GAF.

Does anybody have an idea to surround the Form-UIBB with a Panel in my GAF?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Cheers and Thanks

Johannes
