set cell type for CL_GUI_ALV_GRID object

[Former Member]

Hi,

my challenge is the following. I have an ALV-grid (cl_gui_alv_grid) with 2 columns, the first column contains a description and the second column serves for data entry. BUT the way of data entry depends on the description, means that for one kind of desciption i need a checkbox, for the other kind i need an character input field. I didn't found a method in the cl_gui_alv_grid class for this, but in the cl_salc - class family. But i don't know how to get a connection from the cl_gui_alv_grid object to a cl_salv- object.

Can anyone help me with this?

Hi ,

why do you make sure of styles , check sample code for ALV styles...[http://www.saptechnical.com/Tutorials/ALV/Styles/demo.htm]

and you need to use include

<CL_ALV_CONTROL>

You should be able to control the behavior of the column by using STYLES. You need to create a field with TYPE LVC_T_STYL in your output table. For each row where you want a specific behavior, you need to fill the type to this table.

Check the program BCALV_TEST_GRID_FIELDS on how to use styles.

Hi,

thanks for your answers - they solved my problem!

One following question: Can you tell me, what the meaning of field style2, style 3, style 4 and maxlen are? And add. is it possible to give the button something like a caption?

Kind regards

You can multiple Styles on the Cell. One combination could be: Like Editable + F4. So, in this case

    wa_celltab-style     = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled."Edit cell
    wa_celltab-style2    = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_f4.    " F4 help

Maximum length MAXLEN would be used when you want to set the length of the button, dropdown, etc.

  ls_button-fieldname = space.
  ls_button-style     = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_button.
  ls_button-maxlen    = 8.
