Hello Sudipa

Sample report ZUS_SDN_TEXTEDIT_CONTROL shows you the basics of dealing with the textedit control. By entering TOGGLE into the command window you can switch between edit mode and read-only mode.

Hi Sudipa,

Also there are few SAP's demo programs... search them using the search strings

TEXTEDITTEST* and TEXTEDITDEMO* ...

This one SAPTEXTEDIT_TEST_1 explains how to use all its functions

Cheers,

Jose.

Hi Sudipa,

There are two methods to get the text from textedit control (CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT) GET_TEXT_AS_STREAM and GET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE.

In demo program "SAPTEXTEDIT_TEST_2", if you enter some text and press the first button (which says "Save to R3table, when you keep the mouse over it) GET_TEXT_AS_STREAM method is called where the text contents are obtained from textedit control to table.

CALL METHOD editor->get_text_as_stream

EXPORTING

only_when_modified = cl_gui_textedit=>true

IMPORTING

text = p_table

In demo program "SAPTEXTEDIT_DEMO_1", if you enter some text and press the first button (which says "Save to R3table, when you keep the mouse over it) GET_TEXT_AS_R3Table method is called where the text contents are obtained from textedit control to table.

CALL METHOD g_editor->get_text_as_r3table

IMPORTING table = g_mytable.

For more information on these methods please checkout the methods in

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/f1/549e36cf0ecb7de10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
