Clear Custom Control Area

Former Member — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 08:43:47 GMT

Hi Experts,

I am using custom-control to embed an excel file in SAP. The problem is that when I m trying to open another excel file the one opened before still exists. I have debugged the program and found that the code is opening the new excel file but it is hidden behind the one opened before that file. I am using interface I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY and method 'OPEN_DOCUMENT' to embed the the excel file. I tried 'CLOSE_DOCUMENT', 'CLEAR_DOCUMENT' & 'CLEAR_SELECTION' methods but of no use.

Below is the code I am using to embed an excel file into SAP. Hope this will help to understand the problem.

******Begin of Code**********************************

l_document_url.

Hi Rajesh,

Try to Rrefresh that custom control, I had a similar problem with table control then i used the below method to solve that problem.

set row & column to be stable after refresh

CLEAR l_s_stable.

l_s_stable-row = 'X'.

l_s_stable-col = 'X'.

CALL METHOD alvgrid->refresh_table_display

EXPORTING

is_stable = l_s_stable

i_soft_refresh = 'X'..

if you search you may find out any other similar methods for your requirements..

Reward with points if usefull..

Regards,

Srinivas.

Hi Srinivas,

There is no 'refresh' method for the instance I am using. I have tried close, clear, release methods but none of them actually fulfilling my requirement.

Thanks anyway.

Rajesh

Hi Sri,

I have seen this Transaction before. Here in the examples the program is opening an excel document separately. But in my program I have embedded the excel file and want to close or clear the embedded excel file once I am done with my processing or when I am trying to open another excel file.

Thanks

Rajesh
