ALV scrollbar left side

[Former Member]

Hello,

Ist there a possibility to set up the WD-Application that the scroll bar by the tables/alv will be shown on the left side of the table ?

No that isn't possible. That would be a fairly non-standard UI paradigm. Its pretty standard throughout the computing world that Scrollbars on the the right side. Why would you want to do that? If your ALV is too wide and off the screen horizontally, consider using fixedLayout, width=100%, and scrollable column counts to fix the vertical scrollbar within the visible space of the screen.

Thanks a lot.

Is there really any UI official standard I can use to shown to my customer ?

None that I know of. But have you ever seen a table in an application with the scrollbar on the left side? I don't believe I ever have. There some UI constructs that are enforced by the surrounding OS or Browser - like where the close button on a window appears. There are other things that have just become convention over the years.
