Full screen splitter control

Former Member — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 13:29:18 GMT

I'm using cl_gui_splitter_container to display two ALV grids on one screen. Currently I put the splitter inside a custom container with a fixed size, but what I want to do is use the whole available screen.

When creating a single ALV grid, I can use screen0 as parent to use the full screen:

CREATE OBJECT go_grid EXPORTING i_parent = cl_gui_container=>screen0.

However for a splitter I can't get this to work, not with default_screen instead of screen0 either.

Does anyone have working code where a splitter uses the full screen?

Try to use a [SAP Docking Container|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/en/f5/4f6e0a9f2511d295cc00a0c930660b/frameset.htm] ([cl_gui_docking_container|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=sapdockingcontainer#Code%20Gallery])

Make the screen as big as you can and place the container on the screen with it`s width and height.

Set the container to auto resize with a minimum of 1.

So the user can use it as fullscreen. The Screen will be compressed until the max. screen size is reached

Hi Filip.,

Create a custom container., and give what ever width and height u want., refer the below snippet.,

DATA:  ob_custom                   TYPE REF TO cl_gui_custom_container,
             ob_split1                   TYPE REF TO cl_gui_easy_splitter_container,   
             ob_grid1                    TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid,
             ob_grid2                    TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid,

* This will create a container
  CREATE OBJECT ob_custom
    EXPORTING
      container_name = 'CONTAINER'.     " this is the custom container name in screen

* This spit the container OB_CUSTOM into two
  CREATE OBJECT ob_split1
    EXPORTING
      parent      = ob_custom
      orientation = cl_gui_easy_splitter_container=>orientation_horizontal.

*Left side ALV Container
  CREATE OBJECT ob_grid1
    EXPORTING
      i_parent = ob_split1->top_left_container.

*Right Side ALV Container
  CREATE OBJECT ob_grid2
    EXPORTING
      i_parent = ob_split1->bottom_right_container.

then call ob_grid1->set_table_for_first_display and ob_grid2->set_table_for_first_display

hope this will help u.,

revert if u need some more clarifications..

Thanks & Regards

Kiran

Kiran, thanks but that's what I had already; the question was how to make it full screen.

The other two replies got me there; the dock container gave a thick border, the oversize custom container is perfect - thx guys!
