Question on GUI Status behaviour

Former Member — Tue, 05 May 2009 06:25:13 GMT

Dear All,

I would like to query on the behaviour of the GUI status. I've copied out the SALV_TABLE_STANDARD into my program. In the Application Toolbar, I can see the &EB9 (Call up report) and &REFRESH (Refresh) icon. However, the program seems able to hide out these icons during execution. Can someone explain to me and point out where I can find the documentation for such behaviour? Thanks!

Regards,

Alex

Hi,

Have u copied the source code of SALV_TABLE_STANDARD into your program. At this time the application toolbar will not be copied into your program.If u have the toolbar check whether it is activated.

Thanks,

Hi Nithya,

I don't understand your meaning of copy the main program. As far as I know, this SALV_TABLE_STANDARD is saved under SALV_METADATA_STATUS function group. I start up se80 and find this function group. Afterward, I right click the copy and put it into my program. Is there anything that I've missed?

Regards,

Alex

Hi,

The Application toolbar will not be copied. U create manually the toolbar as like the standard program.Activate the toolbar. No need to change the program. Then u will get the icons in the output.

Double click on the line SET PF-STATUS in the program.Or

goto SE41 -> Give Program Name and create the status.

Thanks,

Nithya

Hi Nithya,

I can actually display and use the application toolbar. I think I have to make it clear first. My original problem is there're some icons appear in the application toolbar section when I'm editing the GUI status. However, they're not shown in the application toolbar when I execute the program.

Hi Alex,

In your program you have written set pf-status right...

just find out if you have added an addition excluding with the set pf-status.

if so....

remove that excluding part of it... and then check your issue will be resolved....

its not a behaviour of pf-status...

its just the flexibility which has been provided with set pf-status in ABAP with which you can exclude certain icons....

Hope I have made it clear to you...

when u copy the std program SALV_TABLE_STANDARD into ur own program

u might have got the copy from screen to another in that u select all the check boxes like

documentation,variants,user interface,screens & includes after copying activate both ur SE41

menu painter as well as ur main program.Now u will get the PF Status of std program to ur own prgm.

Hi Siddarth,

I have not set any exclusion rule in my main program. Actually, I can test the GUI status and able to see all the icons during testing. However, I believe there're some logics that control the icon display during execution and hide some useless icons for me. Isn't it?
