Dynamic drop-down box in table control

Former Member — Tue, 06 Jan 2015 11:36:26 GMT

Hello,

My requirement is to have drop-down box in table control.

Each row of a drop-down box should hold different values i.e. drop-down box of row1 has value 'ABC', 'XYZ' and row2 would have value 'DEF'.

Is it possible to achieve this in table control?

I have already tried using "VRM_SET_VALUES/ F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST" with ID/Fieldname as table control field name of drop-down box. But it has single set of values in all the rows.

Appreciate any help on this.

Please note that I have already search SCN for this requirement. I do not get any concrete answer on this. Hence, I have started this new thread.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

You can use the F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.

steps

1. Create a method with parameter id

importing

RETFIELD type DFIES-FIEDLNAME

DYNPROFIELD type HELP_INFO-DYNPROFLD

table type table.

call function F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST

Exporting

RETFIELD = RETFIELD

DYNPROFIELD = DYNPROFIELD

Table

VALUE_TAB = TABLE

2. In EVENT FOR VALUE REQUEST

TB_FIELD = your desire Field from table Control

FIELD TB_FIELD MODULE mod_f4_help.

3. Mod_f4_help (Point 2)

data : l_line type I . [Table Control selected Line ).

GET CURSOR LINE l_line.

Write the Logic based on the l_line. and create a internal table.

Pass the Internal table in method (Point 1).

You will get the different -2 F4 Help based on your selected row of the table.

Regards.

Praveer.

Hello Praveer,

I don't think that this would get me different values in listbox of different rows.

Since TB_FIELD and RETFIELD would always be the same, how would it identify the rowname-fieldname when it is actually filling up listbox? Listbox on all rows of the table control would have the latest value which is updated in it.

In order to achieve this, system should recognise each listbox as a speperate/unique field in each row.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks.

Before use of FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST, call FM DYNP_GET_STEPL, with this FM you will be able to correctly use FM as DYNP_VALUES_READ to get values of other fields of the same line in the table and adapt the list of values to display.

Raymond

Thanks for your reply.

Am not able to understand how to use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST to populate values in listbox in PBO. Am able to fill listbox using 'VRM_SET_VALUES'. But, as I said the problem is it holds same set of values in listbox of all rows of table control.

Could you please tell me whether you tried populating different values in different rows(in listbox) of table control? Because I could not understand how to get it.

In one of the forum, I have read that

Dropdown listboxes cannot be used in table controls

you need to use F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST fm in POV(proces on value req) not in PBO.

On which base you will decide that 1st row having these values(say 1 2 3) and 2nd row having these values(say 4 5 6) and so on.... in list box.?

Hi,

As I explained earlier, it can be very much simple through F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.

Please find the attached code below.

I have tried the same scenario with MAKT table.

and it's working fine.

Thank you for your reply.

I had already tried this.

Problem is POV is not getting triggered for Listbox in table control. Not sure what is the reason.

I have written below code in POV

FIELD workareaname-fieldname

MODULE fl_help_for_listbox.

This is not getting triggered when F4 is pressed or drop-down box is clicked in table control.

Have I written anything wrong or missed something?

Hi,

Remove the List Box properties and give a simple Test Box for the particular field . F4 Will not work with List Box.

then try , it should work.

Hi Praveer,

Thank you so much for your reply.

But this is the main problem...I don't need F4. I need drop-down box in table control.

If I remove drop-down property, POV would be triggered. But I won't get values in listbox.

And if drop-down property is there, POV is not getting triggered.

Is there any way to resolve this?

Thanks..
