Web Dynpro ALV grid column width

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a web dynpro alv grid that has columns titles that are long. What is the best way of displaying the data without taking up too much space with the titles?

For example is it possible to wrap the title into 2 or 3 rows

Thanks,

Samir

Hi,

You have to use the set_width of the cl_salv_wd_column andSET_HEADER_TEXT_WRAPPING of CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER.

hi,

Thanks for that but i cant find SET_HEADER_TEXT_WRAPPING within that class?

Hi,

SET_HEADER_TEXT_WRAPPING of CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN_HEADER is used for wrapping text.

I think it needs an enhancement package by the looks of it, as the method simply does not exist in our system :

Is there a way to use the short text from the data element instead of the long text (i am using a structure in my context)

Hi,

DATA: lr_column type ref to cl_salv_wd_column,
lr_colheader type ref to cl_salv_wd_column_header.

          CALL METHOD lrcolumn->get_header
            RECEIVING
              value = lr_COLHEADER.
 lr_COLHEADER->set_ddic_binding_field( if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>ddic_bind_short ).

Refer this if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding in se24 for more.
