Issue with cl_gui_xml_editor : Tree node click event handling

Former Member — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 08:13:08 GMT

Hello Experts,

I have a requirement to display and edit an XML document in ABAP and then some processing of changed XML.

After searching on many threads in SCN i found that i can use the Class cl_gui_xml_editor for this .

Now I am able to see the XML in the left hand tree of my screen but If i Click on the Node of tree, data is not populated on the right

hand side Table control.

Do I need to Handle the click event of the tree node with my custom class. If yes then what attribute should be set and how to

show the data on the right hand table ?

here is the code which i have implemented in my subroutine :

* Create docking container

CREATE OBJECT go_docking

    EXPORTING

      parent                      = cl_gui_container=>screen0

      ratio                       = 90

    EXCEPTIONS

      OTHERS                      = 6.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_xml_editor=>create

    EXPORTING

      im_container = go_docking

      im_xml       = gd_xml " this contains the XML

    IMPORTING
   ex_editor    = go_xml_editor.

go_xml_editor->get_editor( ).

* Link the docking container to the target dynpro

CALL METHOD go_docking->link

    EXPORTING

      repid                       = syst-repid

      dynnr                       = '0100'

*      CONTAINER                   =

    EXCEPTIONS

      OTHERS                      = 4.

gx_xml_editor_prop = go_xml_editor->get_properties( ).

CALL METHOD gx_xml_editor_prop->set_attributes

EXPORTING

    im_readonly = 0

    im_view = 'X'

    im_view_mode = 'X'.

* ok-code field = GD_OKCODE, no elements on screen

CALL SCREEN '0100'.

I checked it and when we click on the folder it displays the values. In your case try clicking on "Engineers","task","assignment". If it does not work please update here, I will try to provide a sample.

Hi Kesav,

I tried with the sample which you have provided but it does not work. One more point

If i dont set im_view_mode = 'X' then on clicking in the tree node gives Null object ref exception.

Do i need to handle click event or something like that ?

Regards

Vivek

Hi Vivek,

The code which I provided works for me correctly( I hope you double clicked on the folder MARC( correct ) and not on the "arrow button" for drop down( in correct ) ).. Could you please provide your compiled code for me to check it. I will try uploading a sample xml file and check it. There is no need of any click event to display the values on the right hand side.

ENDMODULE.

and here is the screen shot of output ...

As i said before

If i dont set im_view_mode = 'X' then on clicking in the tree node gives Null object ref exception.

now double clicking on the node does not display anything .

Thanks for the help

Hi Vivek,

For read only mode I coded as, it worked fine.

CREATE OBJECT go_editor_props.

CALL METHOD go_editor_props->set_attributes

EXPORTING

im_behavior = gs_behavior

im_readonly = 1.

for editing mode I code as below, I do not get any error as you said in this case.

CREATE OBJECT go_editor_props.

CALL METHOD go_editor_props->set_attributes

EXPORTING

im_behavior = gs_behavior.

Not sure why it happens the other way for you.

Hi Kesav ,

Is there any other framework exists in ABAP to edit an XML ??

Hi Vivek,

The below code will display xml but not as a tree. .

CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE itab = gt_marc RESULT XML gd_xml.

CALL FUNCTION 'SCOL_TRACE_SHOW_XML'

EXPORTING

xdoc = gd_xml.
