Trigger PAI on specific toolbar button

alejiandro_sensejl — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:18:17 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a toolbar (in a docking container) attached to a dynpro which contains two buttons (save and refresh). I want to have the save button to invoke PAI, but the refresh button should not!

I only found method SET_REGISTERED_EVENTS with eventid CL_GUI_TOOLBAR=>M_ID_FUNCTION_SELECTED that applies the event handling to the complete toolbar. Is it possible to do this function code specific?

Regards,

Alej

Hi Alej,

You should be able to achieve that using this method, however you have to set the flag APPL_EVENT for certain event id. This way this event will entail PAI after triggering.

As for the event id to register please refer toolbar specific events [here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/es/1b/8c2eb4c57511d2bd8e080009b4534c/frameset.htm]

Hello Marcin,

unfortunately I'm not sure what you are suggesting... Method SET_REGISTERED_EVENTS applies the state trigger or don't trigger PAI on click to the complete toolbar, doesn't it?

My requirement is that function code SAVE runs the dynpro field checks, but the refresh function should not (like an exit command).

Regards,

Alej

Indeed this most likely applies to whole toolbar, but is set for specific event type (the one which you pass for eventid ).

But for your requirement I think may help the following: in handling method once SAVE button is pressed force the screen processing once again with LEAVE TO SCREEN main_screen_number. This should then entail dialog step once again. Try it out, it worked once for me.

Hello Alej

If I am right the executing toolbar functions do not trigger PAI but just raise event USER_COMMAND (in case of custom-defined buttons). If you want to trigger PAI explicitly you simply have to use statement:


CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>set_new_ok_code(...)

The ALV framework will finish the event handling method and then jump to PAI with the newly set OK-code.

Instead of doing any "SAVE" functionality within the event handler method I recommend to do this at a module / routine at PAI.
