How to remove the orange default color of the first cell in an ALV report

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have coded an ALV grid report (in ABAP object) and when I execute it, I saw that the first cell containing data, in the top left corner of the ALV grid is always colored in orange by default. This bothers me because I have colored this cell in green (if I select an other line in my grid, I can clearly see that my top left cell is colored in green).

Does anyone knows how to "desactivate" this orange default color ?

Thanks for your answer.

Best regards

Hello Cyril

I do not think this is possible because the "orange" colour represents the currently selected cell / row.

You may change the selected row(s or cell(s) using methods SET_SELECTED_ROWS / SET_SELECTED_CELLS / SET_SELECTED_CELLS_ID but I am not aware of a method to completely "deselect" the entire grid.

even if you deliver an empty table to instance->set_selected_cells, one cell remains selected. Seems that one thing must be selected. a tricky thing might by to add an used column, declare the field as tech and no_display and mark this column by name... dont know if this is working

Thanks Uwe and Rainer,

Unfortunately, I tried what you mentioned both and nothing works.

As you said, it seems mandatory that a cell must be selected by default in an ALV grid.

That's a pity because this "ugly orange" hides my beautiful green color.

I will answer my customer that it is not possible. That's all.

Thank you for your help. I did appreciate.

Best regards
