Hi,

It is possible to change icon dynamically based on function code of a button or based on a values like ...if a particular vaiable is outputted one icon and so on

It is not right to change the function code of a button dynamically(dont believe it is possible too) ...coz the purpose of push button and therby uniquely identifying the action on a button with a function code is lost....so it is better to use multiple buttons...(including radiobuttons/push buttons/check boxes) and uniquely identify them and then change icons accordingly

For dynamic changes in icon please refer the following code

Simple steps

***********************

First create a status icon Box on the screen required(go to screen painter..left side...last icon at the bottom with a 'Tick and Cross' Mark.

so in PBO

case itab-status. "checkin status if itab-status

"if we are using table control drag and drop the icon box into the column so that we can loop at the table control and change status icons for each line

When 'OPEN'.

CALL FUNCTION 'ICON_CREATE'

EXPORTING

name = 'ICON_GREEN_LIGHT' "name of icon u want

text = 'open' "text of the icon

info = 'Status' "tool -tip text

add_stdinf = 'X'

IMPORTING

result = status_icon

EXCEPTIONS

icon_not_found = 1

outputfield_too_short = 2

OTHERS = 3.

endcase.

Similarly for other 'Complete' also follow similar steps

sy-subrc = 0.

"success

sy-subrc = 1.

Icon does not exist

sy-subrc = 2.

Icon and text do not fit on screen

sy-subrc = 3.

Error displaying status icon

Please refer the standard code "DEMO_DYNPRO_STATUS_ICONS" in se38

on click of a button it is changing the status
