How to fix the width of the column when using alv table

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am displaying the contents in a table. Of course using alv component i displayed the content. Now the problem is the column width is not fixed with value of the table entries( based on the domain length level). As length of field increases or decreses as the length of the content increases or decreases. I wanted to fix the column width whatever be the length of the contents.

Can any one help in this regard ?

Thanks Pons.

Hi,

Thanks for your information.

In the above replies, The reply given by Arjun may be suitable for my requirement as I need how to fix a column width in the ALV grid.

Not least the reply by David is also very much useful ...like how to fix the scrollable column.

I found both are very much useful.

Again my problem is where to introduce the code of both of these techniques, fixing the width and fixing the scrollable column ? .

Can you please give me an idea ?

Thanks in advance.....

Hi,

Use the following code in the DOINIT method of your view.

DATA:

lr_salv_wd_table_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage,

lr_salv_wd_table TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table.

• Check ALV component usage

lr_salv_wd_table_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).

IF lr_salv_wd_table_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.

lr_salv_wd_table_usage->create_component( ).

ELSE.

lr_salv_wd_table_usage->delete_component( ).

lr_salv_wd_table_usage->create_component( ).

ENDIF.

• Get ALV component

lr_salv_wd_table = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).

• Get ConfigurationModel from ALV Component

wd_this->mr_table = lr_salv_wd_table->get_model( ).

• Set table settings

DATA:

lr_table_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_table_settings.

lr_table_settings ?= wd_this->mr_table .

lr_table_settings->set_visible_row_count( '5' ).

lr_table_settings->set_width( '100%' ).

Thanks,

Hi Ponnuchamy,

You can use the code (given in my previous post ) in the WDDOINIT method of component controller.

I hope it helps.

HI,

I wanted to share my experience.

Arjun, the code you refered will be working if we add it to the doinit() method of the view not in the component controller.

I hope the code given by Rajkumar to place in the doinit() method of the view.

Note:

Since I got the answer i didnt try with other codes.

Any way thanks for all.

regards

Pons.
