How to change the text of the standard ALV button?

[Former Member]

Hallo everybody,

WebDynpro ALV has its own buttons e.g. Export, Is it possible to change the text "Export" as own text 'SaveInExcel' ?

Many thanks,

Hi,

I guess this is not possible.

If it is not possible, do you know, how could I use my own new button (not in ALV) to call the standard button e.g. Export?

I'm very confused to implement the requirenments from my project manager.

Many thanks!

HI,

When you create the custom button on ALV, then the standard ones cannot be called. You need to have you r own code for that.

For Buttons on ALV- Refer this -

Dear Lekha,

I appreciate for your answer!

I think I would like to choose the easy way to add a tooltip to the standard button in stead to implement a new own button.

best regards,

Hello Lekha,

I found an Demo-Video about ALV button from SAP. In stead of "Export", this Demo-video shows us a button with name "Excel"

Plase see the following screenshot:

Maybe it is possible to change the name of the standard button? or this Demo-Video implement its own button on ALV.

Answer to this question:

Wenn der Typ des Oberflächenelements in der Toolbar oder seine Beschriftung vom Standard abweichen sollen, lassen Sie zwar die ALV-Standardfunktion zu, blenden jedoch das zugehörige Oberflächenelement aus. Stattdessen erzeugen Sie eine selbstdefinierte Funktion und weisen ihr die gewünschte ALV-Standardfunktion zu.

Folgende Oberflächenelemente für ALV-Standardfunktionen können Sie auf diese Weise ersetzen:

● Dropdown-Listbox Senden sowie die einzelnen Einträge der Dropdown-Listbox

● Dropdown-Listbox Anzeigen als sowie die einzelnen Einträge der Dropdown-Listbox

● Drucktasten Zeile einfügen, Zeile anhängen und Zeile löschen

● Drucktaste Prüfen

● Drucktaste Rückgängig

● Drucktasten Excel und Druckversion

● Drucktaste Filter sowie die Einzelfunktionen Filter definieren und Filter löschen

● Drucktaste Einstellungen sowie die Einzelfunktionen Dialogfenster Einstellungen öffnen und Dialogfenster Einstellungen schließen

● Dropdown-Listbox Sichten

Um einer selbstdefinierten Funktion eine ALV-Standardfunktion zuzuweisen, verwenden Sie Methoden der Klasse CL_SALV_WD_FUNCTION.

If you want the UI element in the toolbar to have a different type or label to the standard

setting, allow use of the standard ALV function, but hide the corresponding UI element. Then

generate a self-defined function and assign the required standard ALV function to it.

You can replace the following UI elements for standard ALV functions in this way:

● Send dropdown list box and individual entries in the dropdown list box

● Display As dropdown list box and individual entries in the dropdown list box

● Insert Row, Append Row, and Delete Row pushbuttons

● Check pushbutton

● Undo pushbutton

● Excel and Print Version pushbuttons

● Filter pushbutton and the Define Filter and Delete Filter functions

● Settings pushbutton and the Open Settings Dialog Box and Close Settings Dialog Box

functions

● Views dropdown list box

To assign a standard ALV function to a self-defined function, you use the methods of class

CL_SALV_WD_FUNCTION.
