Adding "sub function" to function in ALV toolbar ?

hi there,

see screenshot: the demo program BCALV_GRID_07 has a customer button in the toolbar. It has 2 functions there -> "Überblick" and "Flüge". This is done with the add_function method in class CL_CTMENU.

So far, so good: i have the requirement of an "Sub Menu" inside the dropdown. E.g. I have function "Überblick": i want to enter sub-entries for "Überblick". There are methods like "add_menu" and "add_submenu" in the class CL_CTMENU, but i don't know how i can use them in the toolbar in ALV.

any ideas ?

You first create another context menu instance, with all your sub functions, and you link this menu to your current context menu in a new line using method ADD_SUBMENU.

Please check the event menu_button.

Simply:

  CREATE OBJECT lo_ssctmenu.
  lo_ssctmenu->add_function( text = 'submenu1' fcode = 'F1' ).
  lo_ssctmenu->add_function( text = 'submenu2' fcode = 'F2' ).
  lo_ctmenu->add_submenu( menu  = lo_ssctmenu
                          text  = 'submenu' ).

You also have an example that shows it's possible - although I think it's creating the secondary menu based on an existing GUI status contextual menu (my example above is about creating it from scratch) -> program SAPTOOLBAR_DEMO1
