Hiding columns in table control

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have requirement to hide certain columns in table control. I have tried my best to use SCREEN structure with ACTIVE, INVISIBLE, INPUT, OUTPUT options, but not working properly.

The table control has nearly 10 columns with DATE as the first one. Once the screen appears after executing program, the second and third columns should be hidden and when double clicked on any date value from the basic list, the hidden columns should be visible with its values in the next level.

I am not able to hide columns in table control. By the way, suggest me options for double clicking in table control too.

Thanks.

Hi,

Take the group1 for all the i/o fields in table control as ABC which you want to hide initially.

Now use code in PBO:-

MODULE status_8001.
  LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-group1 = 'ABC'.
      screen-invisible = 1. "hide control
    ENDIF.
    MODIFY SCREEN.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDMODULE.

This code will hide the columns in table control.

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

In my case it is working. Can you please paste your code..!!

In screen NAME refers to the name of the current screen control. For Example : you give a name to textbox as ABCD, so you can also write:

screen-name = 'ABCD'.
"instead of
screen-group1 = 'ABC'. "as used in previous reply

Hi Tarun,

Will test with the latest one and reply you back with points. What can we do for Double click functionality in table control. I tried the following :

GET CURSOR LINE <CNT>

READ TABLE <itab> INDEX <CNT>

How can I use the double-clicked value for further validations ? Pls suggest me on this too. I am out of office now and on my laptop, couldn't paste the code.

Hi,

The value of sy-ucomm when user double clicks is /CS

To get the details of field name and value use:-

GET CURSOR FIELD g_cs_field VALUE g_cs_value.

Now you can code in PAI to display those two columns initially hidden by the user:-

CASE sy-ucomm.
  WHEN '/CS'.
    IF g_cs_field = '<field1_name>'.
      LOOP AT SCREEN.
        IF screen-group1 = 'ABC'.
          screen-invisible = 0. "display control
          screen-active = 1.
        ENDIF.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
ENDCASE.

Remember that in PBO of screen you have written a code to hide these same columns initially, so make sure that the code is not executed when user double clicks to display those columns.

Try this code for hidding the columns in table control initially.

MODULE status_8001.
  LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-group1 = 'ABC'.
      screen-invisible = 1. "hide control
      screen-active = 0.
    ENDIF.
    MODIFY SCREEN.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDMODULE.

Hope this helps you.
