Custom container without border

Former Member — Thu, 01 Sep 2016 16:26:27 GMT

Hi All,

I am using the custom container for displaying the text on the screen, but i don't want to have the border and want it to be displayed like normal text. Please see the attached image. I don't want to use the input/output field because some times text will be 5 lines longer.

I am using cl_gui_custom_container and cl_gui_textedit classes.


IF go_cont1 IS INITIAL.
     CREATE OBJECT go_cont1
       EXPORTING
         container_name = 'CUS_CONTROL'.


     CREATE OBJECT go_text1
       EXPORTING
         parent = go_cont1.
   ENDIF.

   CALL METHOD go_textedit->set_text_as_stream
     EXPORTING
       text = text1.

   CALL METHOD go_text1->set_readonly_mode
     EXPORTING
       readonly_mode = '1'.

   CALL METHOD go_text1->set_statusbar_mode
     EXPORTING
       statusbar_mode         = 0
     EXCEPTIONS
       error_cntl_call_method = 1
       invalid_parameter      = 2
       OTHERS                 = 3.
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.
   ENDIF.

Please let me know if anyone knows how to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Venkat

Interesting question.

I don't have an answer but I found some comments that might help others to find a solution, hopefully.

There is an option called "style" when you create an instance of the class cl_gui_textedit. Unfortunately the different values that can be used is not documentated.

When you look at the code in the constructor method, you will find the below comments. I have no clue on where to find the info on WIN32 SDK.

* Set the window styles of the control when style parameter was not

* set with constructor call.

* For more information on the styles see WIN32 SDK

IF style is initial.

* otherwise the control would be invisible and the mistake would be

* hard to find

style = cl_gui_control=>ws_visible

+ cl_gui_control=>ws_child

+ cl_gui_control=>ws_clipsiblings.

ENDIF.

Also you can check the package "SAPTEXTEDIT" which has many examples, may be one of those has what you are looking for.

Thanks,

You can try using HTML control - CL_GUI_HTML_VIEWER - this doesn't have borders
