Is there a function module to display the selection options

Former Member — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 01:31:42 GMT

Hi all,

How can I display the selection options (F2) popup, like the one in the data browser (SE11) selection screen? I have a custom report. Instead of right clicking on the selecion-options field, user want a button to click so the selection options popup appear on the screen. Is there a FM that I can use?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

i have tried debugging the standard code.... and i could find the below code which is triggering the F2 functionality for a field.

CALL METHOD call_method

EXPORTING

method = 'SetButtonState'

p_count = 3

p1 = fcode

p2 = m_enabled

p3 = m_checked

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

RAISE cntl_error.

ENDIF.

class - CL_GUI_toolbar

method - Set_button_state.

You may try this.

Regards,

Venkatesh

I mean is there an existing FM that can do this? Normally, it's difficult to extract the code of the standard program. It' too much things to consider.

Thanks Faisal. Rather than creating a pushbutton, I need to create using Function Key. However, function key doesn't allow me to have the additional user-command statement. Do you have any idea?

Hi, Alvin

Sorry, didn't get you. In fact we already have Function Key ( F2 ) for this do you want to use some else?

Please explain it bit more

Thanks and Best Regards,

Faisal

Faisal,

In my custom report, there's no specific button for F2 (although we know we can press F2 for the select options). So, I just need to add a button just to denote that user can press on it to fire the F2 functionality. I need this button to be right next to the Execute button. Is this possible?

Hi, Alvin

As i understand you are designing screen in Screen Painter i think for getting this functionality you will have to go for SUB Screen.

Using Sub Screen you can get this option there.

I think the only way as we use for EXTENSION Button with Select Option

Thanks and Regards,

Faisal
