Grey-out button dynamically in the application toolbar

Peter_Inotai — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 09:58:32 GMT

Hi,

How can I grey-out button dynamically in the application toolbar?

It's not an ALV grid, where it's easy.

SET PF-STATUS '100' EXCLUDING 'SOMETHING'. hides completely the button.

Thanks,

Peter

Hi ,

May be u can have another PF status wid the button disabled .. then u can dynamically set the PF status to this new PF status.

Hi,

since you are telling dynamically,

so you need to loop at screen.

conditionally do this..

loop at screen.
if screen-name = 'BUTTON'.
screen-active = 0.
endif.
modify screen.
endloop.

Hi ,

thats right the thread contains the exact answer to your problem...

Actually it depend on the Push Button assignment option where u can set what u want to do with disable functions on application tool bar. Whether u want to display them as grey buttons or Hide them completely.

Hi,

Sorry forgot to add something to my previous reply...

The complete steps will be as follows :

1. Create Two PF status , One with active Button and Function code and Second with Inactive Function code and Greyed button (This can be acheive by using Push Button assignment as specified in the thread)

2. Dynamically change the PF status to Second one when you want to deactivate the specified Function from the application tool bar.

Hi Raja,

that is manually done while creating the PF-status.

if you do that settings it will always invisible/disable or visible. But in runtime i want to do means how?

it won't take care of that...

by default it show disable/enable buttons what ever settings you gave while creating or editing the status.

that doesn't take care of Dynamic part.

yes its manually set when you define the GUI status. once that step is done. when you do set pf-status excluding <itab> all those buttons in the exclude tab will be grayed out.

the dynamic portion comes from set pf-status execulding <itab>

Hope this is clear.

<i>suppose if i want to make the grayed out button to enable in the runtime or enable to garyed out</i>

remove the function code of that button or add the function code of that button to the exclude tab and

do a

set pf-status excluding <exclusion itab> .
