Hi,

Go to se38~~> utilities~~> settings~~> select screen painter tab~~> check graphical layout editor

or if it not working then it may because of SAPgui issue, (you may need to reinstall your sapgui)

hi,

We use layout editor to place screen element in screen layout. There are two modes in editing layout: Graphical and alphanumeric. Both modes offer the same functions but use different interfaces. In graphical mode, you use a drag and drop interface similar to a drawing tool. In alphanumeric mode, you use your keyboard and menus. It is easier to work in graphical mode, to toggle beetween this mode, in SE51 go to: Utilities->Settings: in screen painter tabs check graphical layout editor.

Layout editor containing this tools:

i. Element pallete

On left screen you will find list of element (textbox, label, checkbox) you can use. Drag and drog element to put it on screen.

ii. Name & Text

Aftef put element on screen, write its name and text (in textbox, text will set default value).

iii. Attributes Window

Double click the element to display its attributes, or select it then click :Goto->Secondary window->attributes. For example, in textbox element, we can set its length, read only mode, in this window.

iv. Dictionary/program field.

If we want to create a field refer to field in data dictionay or field already declared in program, use this menu to create text field with the same type compared to its referral.
