Centering Commentary OO

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using ABAP OO to Write and ALV header list. How do we center the commentary written above?

*Write Header Commentary
DATA :
l_oref_grid TYPE REF TO cl_salv_form_layout_grid.

* Add text items for top of page
*CREATE OBJECT l_oref_grid.

perform get_coaddr changing l_tmpstr.
l_oref_grid->create_text(
row = 1 column = 1 text = l_tmpstr ).

l_tmpstr = TEXT-003.
l_oref_grid->create_text(
row = 2 column = 1 text = l_tmpstr ).

How do I modify the elements written to center it instead of the default Left-aligned?

Hello Mizan

Perhaps the following approach might work:

DATA: lo_column     TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_FORM_GRID_COLUMN.

  lo_column = l_oref_grid->get_column( column = 1 ).

  CALL METHOD lo_column->set_h_align
    EXPORTING
      value = IF_SALV_FORM_C_H_ALIGN=>CENTER.

Thank you Uwe,

That was just what I was looking for. was trying to figure out using SET_H_ALIGN from CL_SALV_FORM_LAYOUT_DATA_GRID but was not successful.

Hello Mizan

I have never used these classes before but my instinct told me to search this way because in the new ALV object model virtually everything has become an object:

- centered text => column with this property => found GET_COLUMN method (CL_SALV_FORM_GRID_COLUMN) 
=> and here I could not miss the reqiured method

This is a general approach will should be useful for the new ALV object model as well as other classes where we can expect class composition.
