CL_SALV_TABLE Create Button Group

[b_deterd2]

Hi,

I know how to create a button in an ALV list based on cl_salv_table.

The buttons created however are single buttons. I'm trying to create a button which can be expanded like the standardbuttons Export or Variants and include my own menu in this.

can this be done?

regards,

Hi Bert,

Caution: I don't think the same screen container can be used for the menu button (cl_gui_alv_grid) and the ALV-OM output (cl_salv_table). Two separate containers could be used on screen 100, one for the menu button and one for the ALV-OM output, but I don't think that is an ideal solution. I'll keep trying, but for now have a look at my original reply. Maybe you or someone else out there can figure out another way.

This can indeed be done. To demonstrate, I created a skeleton program with just one custom button (with two menu items attached to it). As far as I can tell, this will only work for the ALV-OM grid option and not for the ALV-OM full screen option. Maybe the fullscreen option could be a challenge for someone else reading this reply.

I looked in programs BCALV_GRID_08 and SALV_TEST_FUNCTIONS and sort of morphed together the two concepts. Here are the steps to recreate my example:

Step 1: Create a new program (NOTE: In order to make the code as simple as possible for this forum reply, I removed the lines of code that actually output the SPLFI data. I figured seeing some test data would not be important for understanding the menu button in an ALV-OM.)

Step 2: Create screen 100 for this program with a single custom control called CONTAINER and the following flow logic:

process before output.
  module status_0100.
*
process after input.
*  

Activate everything and run the program. You should see a single custom button for an empty ALV-OM Grid. This button has two menu items Cancel, and Exit. Hopefully, this example will give you an idea of how to use this concept in your own development. You can now use the normal ALV-OM methods to design the rest of your ALV grid output.

Best Regards,

Jamie
