CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT Problems with Indent

[Former Member]

Hello

I'm working with the CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT control for displaying/changing text.

The text is set via the method

set_text_as_r3table

.

After setting the text I would like to format it by indenting individual lines.

To indent the lines I use the method indent_lines in the way:

CALL METHOD edit->indent_lines
        EXPORTING
          from_line                     = 1
          to_line                       = 1.

Now the issue is as follows.

I start the application and create the control. Then I set the text in the control

via

SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE

and do the indenting.

The result is

(

Ite m 1

AC E 5.4 & TAO 1. 4

AN D

Item 2

SA P

....

After the next PAI, PBO cycle (i.e. refilling the control again with

SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE

and

redoing the indenting the result is:

(

Item 1 (indented twice)

ACE 5.4 & TAO 1.4 (indented 3time)

AND (indented one time)

Item 2 (indented twice)

....

(unfortunetaly the indenting is lost in this tool as well, I tried to make it clear by the comments in brackets, sorry)

And this is what I would have expected also after the start at the first display.

So I've no clue what happens at the first time. I tried to fix the issue to add

CL_GUI_CFW=>flush

calls, to position the cursor with

set_selection_pos_in_line

or with

edit->auto_redraw

. No change.

Any ideas to solve the issue are welcome.

Many thanks and regards

Hi Hans-Ludwig ,

I tried with the standard program which SAP is providing for the scenario what you described, it is working fine. Please check this Program.<b>SAPTEXTEDIT_TEST_EVENTS</b>

Hi,

thanks for your quick reply.

Unfortunetaly the example does not help me, since the control is already displayed. I had also a look into the

SAPTEXTEDIT_TEST_2 program. Of course here the indenting works also.

My issue is that I need to load the coding from DB and do the indenting and get it displayed at the first time indented, and this 'at first time indented' I do not get working. But it must be possible to do somehow, since the ABAP editor does the same, doesn't it?

Hi,

I think it does not work for the first time around as the control has not been sent to frontend yet.

Try using the following method after SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE

and before edit->indent_lines call,

CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush.

Hope this helps..

Hi, thank you again.

I tryed that one also already. It does not solve the issue.

I results in even more spaces :

with flush

(

I t e m 1

AC E 5 . 4 & T A O 1 . 4

AND

Item 2

SAP R/3 ENTERPRISE 47X200 - SAP R/3 Enterprise Server

)

without flush

(

Ite m 1

AC E 5.4 & TA O 1. 4

Hi,

It just occured to me. Are you calling method set_readonly_mode before indent_lines to disable the editor?

If that is the case then try calling,

set_readonly_mode after indent_lines if possible

or

first call,

set_readonly_mode with readonly_mode = false

and then call,

indent_lines

and then again,

set_readonly_mode with readonly_mode = true.

Hope this helps..

That is exactly what I'm already doing. Also an additional set_readonly_mode with readonly_mode = false and set_readonly_mode with readonly_mode = true does not do a change.
