ALV OO - single handler for several grids

[Former Member]

Hi people!

First of all, I apologize if this thread is not in the correct section.

I have a screen which displays three ALV OO, and each one of these ALV have to respond to double click event.

The functionality for the double click event is the same for all the ALVs, this is, to show another screen with detailed data based on each ALV.

As far as I know about OO programming( which is not too much btw...) in order to do this, I have to create a handler class for each one of these ALV (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about this):

class handler_1 to manage grid_1

class handler_2 to manage grid_2

class handler_3 to manage grid_3

I think this is not efficient at all, because the functionality of each handler is the same for all of the ALV's.

That's why I wanted to know if there's a way to get which of the ALV's is triggering the handle_double_click event.

I've been searching, and I found this, but it's used for handle_data_changed event

any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Fabian,

Check this code snippet. It may help you to handle events with one handler for different instances.

*** INSTANCES

DATA : go_alv01 TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid ,

go_alv02 TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid ,

go_alv03 TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_grid .

• LINK EVENTS TO INSTANCE
