Table control in custom infotypes

Former Member — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 08:21:33 GMT

Hi,

I have a requirement to add table control in a custom defined infotype. The fields include two date fields, one icon field, number and name fields. I also need to populate my icon field with three different icons according to the modification in the records of the table control fields.

Please suggest regarding adding icons as a field of the table control and any suggestions about this are welcome.

Thanks in advance,

Saipriya

Hi,

Use FM 'ICON_CREATE' to add the icon to your table control field. (Give your table control field in Result parameter). Check the demo program DEMO_DYNPRO_STATUS_ICONS to display icon in the screen field.

Hope this helps,

add this include <icon>.

we have a standard table called icon

go to that table and check which icon u want to display and directly give that icon_name in the table control so that i will display the icon.

Hi,

I tried out as u said.. using the function module icon_create. The function module works if the field is a input/output field. But I want to create icons in a input/output field in the table control. I tried the same way but a runtime error is coming. Please help me.

we have a standard table ICON

In the program use this as an include.

In the data browser go to that particular table and check which icon best suits ur requirement and use it.

In ur program give the relevant icon name in the table control u are using so that the icon will be displayed.

Hope this helps you.

reward if useful.
