ALV line selection

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created an ALV grid which displays the data for me (see code below).

FORM create_alv .
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <outtab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,
                 <fcat> TYPE lvc_s_fcat.
  CHECK gv_alv_obj-defined IS INITIAL.
  gv_alv_obj-selection = gv_main_selection.
  CREATE OBJECT gv_alv_obj-container
    EXPORTING
      container_name = 'ALV_CONTAINER'.
  CREATE OBJECT gv_alv_obj-grid
    EXPORTING
      i_parent = gv_alv_obj-container.
  ASSIGN gt_outtab->* TO <outtab>.
  REFRESH gv_alv_obj-fcat.
  CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'

            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.
  READ TABLE gv_alv_obj-fcat ASSIGNING <fcat> WITH KEY fieldname = 'SPRAS'.

  gv_alv_obj-defined = 'X'.
ENDFORM.                    " CREATE_ALV

On my main toolbar menu (not the ALV toolbar) I have a few icons.

1) Delete - think this is ok as when I delete a line the cursor moves to the 1st line of the

ALV grid; is this ok or should the cursor go somewhere else? how do I position it to particular row?

2) Copy - Details are copied to a new line I want to move to the copied line and highlight it ? how

3) Display/Modify - Goes to subscreen on exit of subscreen want to be at line where I entered

Hi,

To place your cursor on a particular field use the method 'SET_SELECTED_CELLS'

of the grid.

Hi,

Managed to do it via the following:-

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*&      Form  SET_SELECTED_ROW
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
FORM set_selected_row .

* This defines a section of memory.
  FIELD-SYMBOLS: <outtab> TYPE STANDARD TABLE,    " This is the table.
                 <table_line> TYPE ANY,           " This is a row within the table.
                 <fld> TYPE ANY,                  " This holds the value in the field.
                 <key_value> TYPE ANY.            " This is the value in the field.

  DATA: lt_index_rows TYPE lvc_t_row,             " ALV control - Table rows.
        wa_index_row  LIKE LINE OF lt_index_rows, " Line of ALV control - Table rows.
        key_fname TYPE fieldname.                 " This is the name of the field.

* This statement references the same bit of memory thus both gt_outtab & outtab
* are pointing to the same thing so whatever happens to the local outtab will
* also happen to gt_outtab.
  ASSIGN gt_outtab->* TO <outtab>.

  CASE gv_main_selection.
    WHEN co_funder.
      key_fname = co_funder.
      ASSIGN gv_selected_funder TO <key_value>.
    WHEN co_funder_type.
      key_fname = co_funder_type.
      ASSIGN gv_selected_funder_type TO <key_value>.
  ENDCASE.

* Loop at the table <outtab> into a work area (<table_line>).
  LOOP AT <outtab> ASSIGNING <table_line>.
*   The next statement processes the work_area (<table_line>)
*   and assigns the key field names (key_fname) to a field variable (<fld>)
    ASSIGN COMPONENT key_fname OF STRUCTURE <table_line> TO <fld>.
*   Next a check is made to see if the selected value (<key_value>) is same
*   as the value read in the field (<fld>) from above statement.
*   If different then the next iteration of the loop occurs.
    CHECK <fld> = <key_value>.
*   Field read (<fld>) is the same as the selected field value (<key_value>)
*   so set the row index (wa_index_row-index) to be that of loop index (sy-tabix)
    wa_index_row-index = sy-tabix.
*   Append the selected row to the ALV control - Table rows
    APPEND wa_index_row TO lt_index_rows.
    EXIT.
  ENDLOOP.

* Call the set_selected_rows method on the ALV grid.
  CALL METHOD gv_alv_obj-grid->set_selected_rows
    EXPORTING
      it_index_rows = lt_index_rows.

ENDFORM.                    " SET_SELECTED_ROW
