OOPS ALV - Editing the OutTab

[mike_mcinerney]

I want to use cl_gui_alv_grid as a pretty wide open internal table editor.

In the PBO, I

* create the custom container and grid (if they do not exist)
* set the layout variable edit to u2018Xu2019
* populate the outputtable "myinternaltable"  and  call the   set_table_for_first_display method, 
     Exporting
          i_structure_name =  u2018myDDICstructu2019
          Is_Layout = my_layout
     Changing
          it_outtab = myInternalTable.

When the grid comes up, I can edit the display, but the changes do not seem to make it back to the itab.

What combination of modes and control structures, etc might I need?

Thanksu2026

did you set the EDIT EVENT or atleast are you calling the CHECK_CHANGED_DATA method in the PAI.

Register the edit event also for enter or modified then the Data changed event will trigger.

call method g_grid->register_edit_event
               exporting
                  i_event_id = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_evt_enter.

For details Just check the programs BCALV_EDIT_01 to BCALV_EDIT_09

That's very helpful. I registered the event and it transfers the data for me now, So then, what does 'edit_mode' do on the layout ?

it just opens the Columns in the edit mode. But check_changed_data method will transfer the contents back to internal table. It calls the Data_changed event internally.
