Font size and alv grid problem

[Former Member]

Hi, guys, i've got a screen which i draw at screen painter inside which i display mine alv grid, but when i try to change font size in SAP settings mine screen changes size too, it becoming less if i set font size smaller that i had, and it becomes greater if i set it bigger. Can i set the screen to not change size,deppending on font size ? I used only custom control at screen painter

AFAIK classic dynpro size are defined in number of rows and columns.

If you want to fully manage the size of dynpro use some OO managed container.

e.g. Attach a container for ALV to a side of a custom containber or a default one such as cl_gui_container=>screen0 with a class such as CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER. There you can handle size in pixel or mm (look for parameter such as METRIC, and constants such as docking_container->metric_pixel in the class methods)

What are you trying to do? Do you want your ALV to use the whole available space in your SAP GUI window?

sandra.rossi, yes. and to not change size, if i will change font Size in sap setting. I've done it with
CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER,but is it possible with cl_gui_custom_container or any other classes ?

[raymond_giuseppi]

Did you try it, like CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER, CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER also has some SET_METRIC, SET_WIDTH and SET_HEIGHT methods.

What is the effect when container should be greater than the defined area of the main dynpro?

Here, I'm not talking about font size at all, but you may possibly want to display more information in the screen, use all space available.

With large screens, in Windows, the screen area of SAP GUI in a maximized window of SAP GUI is smaller than the space offered by the window. The system container CL_GUI_CONTAINER=>SCREEN0 (if modal level is 0 = main screen/not a popup) can be used to cover the whole window.

This is just to show that the full screen is covered (this program is missing important call to method FREE to free control inside full screen).
