How to set Focus to input field after user clicked in Control?

[Former Member]

Hello ABAP gurus,

Could you please tell me a method, how ABAP can set the focus back to an input field field after the user double clicked something inside a control?

I want to loose the focus from a Tree Control and set the focus somewhere else to the let the user scan values in a standard GUI input / output field again.

This doesn't work:

CLASS lcl_event_handler IMPLEMENTATION.

...

METHOD on_item_double_click.

...

SET CURSOR FIELD gs_gui_field-matnr.

Thanks alot in advance,

Benjamin

Watch if this help you.

First create a Table like this for the dynpro fields.

data:
     BEGIN OF type_dynpro_tab,
       field  LIKE help_info-dynprofld,   "current field(get cursor field)
     END OF type_dynpro_tab.

Then field the table at the begining.

t_dynpro_tab-field = 'FIELD1'.   APPEND t_dynpro_tab.
    t_dynpro_tab-field = 'FIELD2'.   APPEND t_dynpro_tab.
    t_dynpro_tab-field = 'FIELD3'.   APPEND t_dynpro_tab.
    t_dynpro_tab-field = 'FIELD4'.  APPEND t_dynpro_tab.

Then in PAI do the :

GET CURSOR FIELD field_aux.

Then in USER_COMMAND define a

when 'DOUBLE_CLICK". "Or the OKCODE you has asigned

for case sy-ucomm. Here you will have the current field "field_aux". So now you have to:

READ table t_dynpro_tab with key field = field_aux.
aux_index = sy-tabix + 1.
read table t_dynpro_tab index aux_index.
next_field = t_dynpro_tab-field.

So now you will have as you define the next field you want to make the TAB.

Next in PBO Proccess just do:

SET CURSOR FIELD next_field.

YOu can set the focus on the ALV using the method SET_CURRENT_CELL_VIA_ID of the class cl_gui_alv_grid.

Check out this blog: It shows, how to use this method.

Thank you both for your quick replies. Well maybe I didn't make myself clear:

--> My focus is already in the Grid/Tree Control.

--> I'd like to set the focus on the standard GUI field (no control, just normal PBO/PAI controlled screen field).

Let's have a look at this SAP example: SAPSIMPLE_TREE_CONTROL_DEMO

Imagine when you would click on "Child1" on the left the cursor would move to field NODE_DOUBLE_CLICK on the right side of the screen.

This is exactly what I'm trying to do...

Is it possible?

Yes it is possible, if you double click on your node.

I copied the program SAPSIMPLE_TREE_CONTROL_DEMO to Z with includes and screen.

I put the statement in PBO like:

  set cursor field 'G_EVENT'.

So, after double clicking on the left tree.. on any node.. It moves the cursor to field event on the right side.

@Naimesh Patel: This works! I didn't think that registered events do use PBO. One minor issue: the clicked point in the tree is still highlighted. Could I remove every selection in the tree control?

Thanks & regards,

[naimesh_patel]

Yes that can be achieved too. Use the methoc UNSELECT_ALL of the TREE.

Like:

  call method g_tree->UNSELECT_ALL.
