Display Pushbuttons in Table Control Dynamically

Former Member — Thu, 28 May 2015 14:40:10 GMT

Hi experts ,

I have a requirement where i display a table control with coloum heading and pushbuttons only.

For example.

monday tuesday wednesday

[pushbutton] [pushbutton] [pushbutton]

This is nothing but column number changes based on day.

But main doubt is how to display a pushbutton on a table container(not manually as my code has to be dynamic).

Thanks in advance

Do you really need a table control for this? If there are only weekday names and pushbuttons, can't you create just 7 separate pushbuttons on the screen?

Thanks,

They're just screen fields. You can hide them during the LOOP AT SCREEN.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the reply and your time.

We can hide them or make them inactive ... that's fine , but i would like to populate push-buttons on table control first.

Can you please explain me how can i do this.

HI Rob,

My be i did not explain it clearly.

When i display the table i need output something like this

I don't know if you're looking something like this, but I hope it can help you


DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
         BUTTON_A(60),
         BUTTON_B(60),
         BUTTON_C(60),
       END OF ITAB.

DATA: ICON_NAME(30) TYPE C,
           ICON_TEXT(30) TYPE C.
DATA: ICON_CHECK    TYPE FLAG.

 CONTROLS T_CTRL TYPE TABLEVIEW USING SCREEN 100.

The field of internal table ITAB are assigned to a field of a table control, every field of table control is a pushbutton, so I can decide which icon a text assigned to every button:


DO 5 TIMES.

     IF ICON_CHECK IS INITIAL.
       ICON_NAME = 'ICON_PRINT'.
     ELSE.
       ICON_NAME = 'ICON_CHECKED'.
     ENDIF.

     ICON_TEXT = 'Button A'.
     WRITE SY-INDEX TO ICON_TEXT+9 LEFT-JUSTIFIED.

     CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
       EXPORTING
         NAME   = ICON_NAME
         TEXT   = ICON_TEXT
       IMPORTING
         RESULT = ITAB-BUTTON_A.

     IF ICON_CHECK IS INITIAL.
       ICON_NAME = 'ICON_BOOKING_OK'.
     ELSE.
       ICON_NAME = 'ICON_LOCKED'.
     ENDIF.

     ICON_TEXT = 'Button B'.
     WRITE SY-INDEX TO ICON_TEXT+9 LEFT-JUSTIFIED.

     CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
       EXPORTING
         NAME   = ICON_NAME
         TEXT   = ICON_TEXT
       IMPORTING
         RESULT = ITAB-BUTTON_B.


     IF ICON_CHECK IS INITIAL.
       ICON_NAME = 'ICON_CAR'.
     ELSE.
       ICON_NAME = 'ICON_CALCULATION'.
     ENDIF.

     ICON_TEXT = 'Button C'.
     WRITE SY-INDEX TO ICON_TEXT+9 LEFT-JUSTIFIED.

     CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'
       EXPORTING
         NAME   = ICON_NAME
         TEXT   = ICON_TEXT
       IMPORTING
         RESULT = ITAB-BUTTON_C.


     APPEND ITAB.

     IF ICON_CHECK IS INITIAL.
       ICON_CHECK = 'X'.
     ELSE.
       CLEAR ICON_CHECK .
     ENDIF.
   ENDDO.


   CALL SCREEN 100.

The result will be this:

Hi Max,

Good morning. Hope you are doing good.

Thanks for the answer , i have done the same procedure as described and get the following result

May be i have missed something in the layout like field attributes or table control element.

I cannot even display images even though itab contains records.

Thanks and regards

You need to insert a pushbutton as colunm of your internal table as following images:

and then you need to change the attribute:

- The Name has to be the same of your internal table field (red circle)

- Field for Output has to be checked (blue circle)

- With Icon has to be checked (green circle)

In PBO you can move the data from internal table to table control


PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
* MODULE STATUS_0100.


  LOOP WITH CONTROL T_CTRL.
    MODULE READ_ITAB.
  ENDLOOP.


*
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
* MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100.


  LOOP WITH CONTROL T_CTRL.
  ENDLOOP.


MODULE READ_ITAB OUTPUT.
  READ TABLE ITAB INDEX T_CTRL-CURRENT_LINE.
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    CLEAR ITAB.
  ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.                 " READ_ITAB  OUTPUT

HI Max,

Thank you for the reply and your valuable time.

In layout , we can insert push-buttons and convert it into radio buttons or even check-boxes.

I am aware of this process. This can be done when we know the number of columns i need to display.

In my requirement i do not know how many columns i will display , so i cannot insert push-buttons or i cant even do anything manually.

Thanks once again Max for the descriptive answers and the help.

Why don't use an ALV grid?

It is just right in the middle of cockpit development so i think i cannot just introduce an alv , creating disturbances in existing code

I don't know if it's possible to do it with a table control, probably you can create a "big" table control having a large number of colunms for pushbuttom, radiobuttom, checkbox in order to satisfy all your situations and you active only what you need
