Hi Lokeshwar,

As you say you want to enter data, use TextEdit element to show the data. Now on the action of the button do as follows,

1. get the data on the table using get_static_attributes_table from the context node.

2. now add an empty row at the top using insert command

3. Now bind the table to the context node

This will make a new row appear on the table and you can enter data.

Hi Lokesh,

you can do like below.

    DATA lo_nd_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_table TYPE wd_this->element_table.

* navigate from <CONTEXT> to <TABLE> via lead selection
lo_nd_table = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_table ).

CALL METHOD lo_nd_table->bind_structure
    EXPORTING
      new_item             = ls_table
      set_initial_elements = abap_false
*    index                =
      .

Hi Chengalarayulu,

Your code does create a new row at the end of the table, but i think you did not notice that the requirement is for adding a line at the top of the table.

we can provide INDEX also, it is already there in called method(BIND_STRUCTURE). it inserts wherevre we want in the table.

Hi lokesh,

As chengalarayulu says, bind_structure or bind_element will insert a new row to an existing table without affecting the data already present in the table.

If you use any of these methods then no need to use the insert command to insert on an itab and then doing bind_table. Just do as chengalarayulu said and don't forget to give the index as 1 to make the row appear on the top.

Hi Lokesh,

DATA lo_nd_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA stru TYPE wd_this->element_NODE_NAME.

lo_nd_table = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE_NAME' ).

CALL METHOD lo_nd_table->bind_structure
EXPORTING
new_item = stru

set_initial_elements = abap_false
index = 1.

Just write this code and run. Change the NODE_NAME with the name of the node you bound for the table.

While binding the table make the Element used for each column as TextEdit. By default it will be in TextView.
