TextEdit element - prefill textlines

[b_deterd2]

Hi,

Probably a basic question but I'm trying to fill a TextEdit element with some hard-coded text (several lines). For some reason it is only showing the first line of text I coded. (in methode wddoinit).

Any help will be appreciated.

regards,

bert

Can you post the coding of your WDDOINIT that does the population of the text.

code is:

data: textnode type ref to if_wd_context_node.
data: ls_message type ig_componentcontroller=>element_textnode.
data: lt_message type ig_componentcontroller=>elements_textnode.

textnode = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'TEXTNODE' ).
ls_message-message = 'line 1'. append ls_message to lt_message.
ls_message-message = 'line 2'. append ls_message to lt_message.
textnode->bind_table( new_items = lt_message ).

The textedit is only showing line 1.

regards,

Bert

I think you misunderstand how a textEdit element works. It doesn't bind to an entire node using the elements as lines of the textEdit. Instead it binds to a single attribute of a single element. You should create one element of type STRING and then concatenate your text lines (separated by CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF) into this one string.

Yes you're absolutely right. I interpreted the TextEdit wrong.

It works now (why didn't I ask sooner!) but between the lines there is a blank line.

Line 1

Line 2

instead of:

Line 1

Line 2

I used the code:

data: lv_string type string.

concatenate 'line 1' cl_abap_char_utitilities=>cr_lf 'line 2' into lv_string.

wd_context->set_attribute( name = 'TESTINFO' value = lv_string ).

Any ideas?

Then try cl_abap_char_utitilities=>newline instead of cl_abap_char_utitilities=>cr_lf.

Hi,

Check your context attribute size.

If your attribue size is less than your data then you will get the output with no of characters of size of your attribute.

here i have taken attribute of type char10 but i am appending more than 10 characters so i am getting output with 10 characters.

DATA:

elem_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element,

stru_context TYPE if_first=>element_context ,

item_edit LIKE stru_context-edit.

• get element via lead selection

elem_context = wd_context->get_element( ).

item_edit = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrs'.

elem_context->set_attribute(

VALUE = item_edit

name = 'EDIT'

).
