Splitter Container

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is it possible to have a splitter container using CL_SALV ?

If yes please explain the steps how to go about making the splitter container using this class.

Regards,

Darpana.

Hello Darpana

It is not the splitter container which uses the class but on the contrary the class which uses the container instances of the splitter container.

Method CL_SALV_TABLE=>FACTORY has an optional IMPORTING parameter R_CONTAINER.

If you fetch the container instances of your splitter container and provide them when calling method FACTORY then I believe it should work the same way like for class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.

Hi Darpana,

As Uwe said container is not depended on class. You can obviously use container with cl_salv_table class.

It is one of the optional parameters for that class.

Go to Patterns -> choose radiobutton ABAP Object Patterns -> Ok -> (Now you will see different patterns for ABAP Objects) -> choose radio button Call method -> enter Class/Interface : CL_SALV_TABLE -> Method :FACTORY.

Now you will see container as a optional exporting parameter of a class.

Hope it clear your doubts.

Just let me know if you are having any more queries.

Hi,

I have understood what Uwe and Pratik have said.

I will have to pass the parameter accordingly to the CL_SALV_TABLE.

But the problem is that i do not know the steps of how to go about making the splitter container also.

Hi darpana,

Go through follwing.

Create a screen.

Make Custom Control area on the screen.

Now in screen PBO call method wtih cotainer as explained.

Setting Up Display Type in a Simple, Two-Dimensional Table

In the CL_SALV_TABLE class, the FACTORY method gets the following parameters that are relevant for the display type:

·        LIST_DISPLAY

·        R_CONTAINER

·        CONTAINER_NAME

You determine how the table is displayed with a combination of these parameters.

Parameter Settings for the Display Type

Display type                                 In the Container
 LIST_DISPLAY                            ABAP_FALSE
 R_CONTAINER                            Reference to container; type CL_GUI_CONTAINER
 CONTAINER_NAME                    Name of the container

Hope it helps you,

Kindly inform if more inputs required.

Hello Darpana

You may have a look at sample report ZUS_SDN_TWO_ALV_GRIDS in thread

in order to see how to work with splitter containers.
