Changing buttons texts dynamically

[Former Member]

Hello All

How can I change the button text dynamically on a screen?

I have one button with the text: "Overwrite = OFF" and I want to change to "Overwrite = ON" when the user click on it, and if the user click again it will change back to "Overwrite = OFF".

TIA. Mauro.

Is this a report or an online program?

I think that's kind of difficult cause you will have to search de properties of the screen. The best thing to do it could be to take a copy of the screen but with the text of the button you want, and set the screen in the event you want to catch.

I hope this idea be helpful.

Hi Mauro,

Here's the code:

* Required
  TABLES:
    sscrfields.
  FIELD-SYMBOLS:
    <field> TYPE ANY,
    <value> TYPE ANY.
* Selection screen with one push button
  SELECTION-SCREEN:
    BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME,
      PUSHBUTTON 3(20)  but1 USER-COMMAND cli1,
    END OF BLOCK b1.
* Event
  AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
    CASE sscrfields.
      WHEN 'CLI1'.
        LOOP AT SCREEN.
          IF screen-name EQ 'BUT1'.
            ASSIGN screen-name TO <field>.
            ASSIGN (<field>) TO <value>.
            IF <value> EQ 'Status = OFF'.
              <value> = 'Status = ON'.
            ELSE.
              <value> = 'Status = OFF'.
            ENDIF.
            MODIFY SCREEN.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.
    ENDCASE.
* Cleanup (don't forget)
  IF <field> IS ASSIGNED. UNASSIGN <field>. ENDIF.
  IF <value> IS ASSIGNED. UNASSIGN <value>. ENDIF.
* Initial value set
  INITIALIZATION.
    but1 = 'Status = OFF'.

Regards,

Rob.
