Look at your management of the field TEST which should prevent infinite loop between refresh_table_display and handle_after_refresh (what is its initial value, etc.)

[Former Member]

I haven't infinite loop, this ABAP works one time, when i hide a column, datas are correctly sorted but when i try to make the field displayed again, the field is empty. So i have check my program via checkpoints where the refresh is trigerred and then, i deduced that when i call get_frontend_fieldcatalog, this table is update only the first time the program enter in the loop.

Concerning the value of the field TEST, it is set to empty when the event is trigerred. This prevent the infinite loop no ? Then for use it again, i set it to X after the method After_refresh.

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Question: When a previously hidden column is displayed again, is the event raised, and what is the value of 'TEST'?

[Former Member]

First step :

[Former Member]

Second step :

[Former Member]

Third step :

[Former Member]

Fourth step :

On the fourth screenshot, we can see that TEST is null before the second call to refresh. And the event has been raised.

[Former Member]

Fifth and sixth :

This is a view of the table it_fieldcat after the method get frontend fieldcatalog have been used. no_out value is unchanged from the moment the field has been hidden.

[Former Member]

Sorry for multiple post, the website don't accept lot of picture for one post

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Try to add a "call method cl_gui_cfw=>flush" at start of the event handler before getting the field catalog to force synchronisation.

[Former Member]

Same issue, the field article is always empty.

[SimoneMilesi]

The flush should be placed after the refresh_Table_display method

[Former Member]

Thanks for your answer.

I have the same issue

[SimoneMilesi]

Sorry, i read better and i see the problem: you get the fieldcat, change it, but you do not SET it again before the refresh!
Invoke method SET_FIELDCATALOG and then the REFRESH_TABLE_DISPLAY followed by the FLUSH

[Former Member]

I have the same issue with this code :

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Is the fieldcat-no_out parameter initial after the get fieldcatalog call (if not, try to switch order of the method call)

[Former Member]

I lunch the program so line 192, i check at it_fieldcat-no_out value :

here, no_out is initial

[Former Member]

so next step, line 197 :

i check the value of it_fieldcat :

values have been updated. So i continue the execute

[Former Member]

Here is datas who are firstly displayed.

I want to hide the field Article

[Former Member]

again line 192, check if the fieldcatalog is initial:

values are empty for the moment so it is initial

[Former Member]

line 197 again, check fieldcatalog again :

here the table has been correctly updated

[Former Member]

the display is correct so now, i want to display the field Article :

[Former Member]

line 192, i check values of fieldcatalog and line 197, i have the same table so this table haven't been updated

[Former Member]

so i tried to switch order of the method call like this :

and i get the same issue, after the first refresh, datas aren't get anymore

[RaymondGiuseppi]

I asked to swith order of 'cl_gui_cfw=>flush' and 'g_grid->get_frontend_fieldcatalog' and asked if the no_out field was correct in the returned et_fieldcatalog.

[Former Member]

Like this, i get the a wrong no_out value for et_fieldcatalog

[Former Member]

same issue like this :

and this :

[Former Member]

Maybe the probleme come from the after refresh event, if i get an other event or user command like the button to state changes before having hide/display a column ? But i don't know how to get this event, the user_command value is DTC_CONT i think but how to handle event from it ?. So the first question who must be answered is : "Why i am getting false / unupdated values in my fieldcatalog ?"

[Sandra_Rossi]

Your error is NOT related to the field catalog, refresh, and so on.

It's only due to the fact that you create the grid every time : G_CONT is always initial !

 IF g_grid IS INITIAL. "don't use g_cont !
   CREATE OBJECT g_grid

[Former Member]

Thank you very much for the explanation of the error. It works perfectly.
