Long Text on screen

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I need to create a Long text field on a screen. The user should be able to enter multiple lines of text in this.

Can someone please tell me how to create such an element?

Thanks,

Hi,

I think you need a text edit control for entering long text.

You have to use a CONTAINER and EDITOR for that.

Please check the below code.

DATA : V_CUSTOM_CONTAINER TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER,

V_OBJ_EDITOR TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT.

First you have to create the container

CREATE OBJECT v_custom_container

EXPORTING

container_name = c_text_control " TEXT_CONTROL

EXCEPTIONS

cntl_error = 1

cntl_system_error = 2

create_error = 3

lifetime_error = 4

lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5

OTHERS = 6.

Then you have to create the TEXT EDITOR

IF v_obj_editor IS INITIAL.

• Create object for the TextEditor control for Long text

CREATE OBJECT v_obj_editor

EXPORTING

wordwrap_mode =

cl_gui_textedit=>wordwrap_at_fixed_position

wordwrap_position = c_72 " 72

wordwrap_to_linebreak_mode = cl_gui_textedit=>true

parent = v_custom_container

EXCEPTIONS

error_cntl_create = 1

error_cntl_init = 2

error_cntl_link = 3

error_dp_create = 4

gui_type_not_supported = 5

OTHERS = 6.

Then you have to set the EDITOR read only or write MODE

(Note : your case you can avoid this )

Then you have to retrive the text entered in the editor by you or the USER

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

client = sy-mandt

id = c_ltxt " LTXT

language = c_e " E

name = v_name

object = c_qmel " QMEL

TABLES

lines = i_line

EXCEPTIONS

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

not_found = 4

object = 5

reference_check = 6

wrong_access_to_archive = 7

OTHERS = 8.

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

Use container in module program..

Or

In report Use Fm:- TXW_TEXTNOTE_EDIT in at selection screen output.

Hello,

This FM TXW_TEXTNOTE_EDIT will open a text edito as a popup. However, I require the text editor to be present as a subscreen when the user executes the transaction.

How can this be achieved?

I was thinking of using INIT_TEXT, then EDIT_TEXT. But I do not know what type of screen element I need to create. Could someone please tell me if this is a good approach?

Thanks,

Rugmani

If you want to put it on a (sub)screen you should go for the TEXT_EDIT (enjoy SAP) control. This can be achieved with class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT. So on your subscreen first define a container for this control, and next instantiate this class mentioned above to place a text edit field on this container (subscreen).

Demo program:

DEMO_CUSTOM_CONTROL
