Variants and edit control

[rainer_hbenthal]

I would like to have a report with a custom control (containing cl_gui_textedit) which can save variants for some other fields.

So either i build my own screen, but how do i save the input fields(not the control) in a variant?

Or i am creating a standard report with a selection screen, but how can i use the text editor in the selection screen?

Any suggestions?

I think this is not possible , ie save contents of textedit gui control in a variant.

but how can i use the text editor in the selection screen?

Possible way is create a push button in selection screen and user press the button call fm EDIT_TEXT

No, the content of text edit control does not need to be saved in the variant. I have some other fields which i'm putting either in the selection screen (but then i dont know how to show the text edit control) or i'm creating my own screen with drop down boxes but then i dont know how to save them in a variant. Selection fields and edit control should be visible together, but only the selection fields needs to be stored in a variant. Hope it is a little bit clearer now.

1. Save variant in a dialog screen

2. Putting a long text in selection screen

The following example is provided by Rich in this forum few months back

report  zars no standard page heading
        line-size 170
        line-count 65(4).
data:
      dockingleft  type ref to cl_gui_docking_container,
      text_editor    type ref to cl_gui_textedit,
      repid type syrepid.

data: begin of header.
        include structure thead.
data: end of header.

data: begin of lines occurs 0.
        include structure tline.
data: end of lines.

data: textlines type table of tline-tdline,
      wa_text type tline-tdline.

parameters: p_check.
parameters: matnr like mara-matnr.

at selection-screen output.

  repid = sy-repid.

  create object dockingleft
              exporting repid     = repid
                        dynnr     = sy-dynnr
                        side      = dockingleft->dock_at_left
                        extension = 400.

  create object text_editor
              exporting
                   parent     = dockingleft.

start-of-selection.

  call method text_editor->get_text_as_r3table
     importing
           table              = textlines
     exceptions
           others             = 1.

  loop at textlines into wa_text.
    write:/ wa_text.
  endloop.
