Hiding tab in tabstrip

[Former Member]

Hi Forum,

I have tabstrip in my application. I want to hide a tab during run time. I binded the visibility property of tab with an attribute of wdy_boolean type and set that to abap_false. The contents gets invisible but empty tab still remains visible. How to make the complete tab invisible. Please help me out.

Thanks,

Mallika

Hi,

Create a attribute of type wdy_boolean and bind it with the visibility property of tab.

Set it ' ' to make it invisible and set it to 'X' to make it visible.

I hope it helps.

hi,

*It wont work with Wdui_visibility.

For hiding a tab, make context attribute of type Char1.

Because the binding property VISIBLE for Tabstrip is the checkbox. So it can store space or X in to that. Then only it will effect to visibulity. Not 01 or 02 what you will do for input fields and others.

here CA_VIS is attribute of type char1.

DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.

DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->element_context.

DATA lv_ca_vis LIKE ls_context-ca_vis.

• get element via lead selection

lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).

• get single attribute

lo_el_context->set_attribute(

• EXPORTING

name = `CA_VIS`

• IMPORTING

value = ' ' ).

For making it visible give X in CA_VIS.

It will work.

If you use Wdy_boolean then also it should work.

Try giving ' ' for making it invisible and 'X' for making it visible.

hi,

instead of binding it to the attribute of wdy_boolean , bind it to the attribute wdui_visibility

u can declare a context attribute of type wdui_visibility and bind its(UI element's) VISIBLE property with this attribute

set the attribute value to 01 to make the table invisible

   DATA lo_nd_cn_visiblesuper TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
    DATA lo_el_cn_visiblesuper TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
    DATA ls_cn_visiblesuper TYPE wd_this->element_cn_visiblesuper.
    DATA lv_ca_visible LIKE ls_cn_visiblesuper-ca_visible.
*   navigate from <CONTEXT> to <CN_VISIBLESUPER> via lead selection
    lo_nd_cn_visiblesuper = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_cn_visiblesuper ).
 
*   get element via lead selection
    lo_el_cn_visiblesuper = lo_nd_cn_visiblesuper->get_element(  ).
 
*   get single attribute
    lo_el_cn_visiblesuper->set_attribute(
      EXPORTING
        name =  `CA_VISIBLE`
   
        value = '01').

u can set this attribute :

01- To make it invisible

02 - To make it visible.

here I have created a attribute ca_visible under node cn_visiblesuper of type wdui_visibility type ,which I am setting to 01

to make table invisible this is binded to VISIBLE property of ur table UI

instead of setting the context attribute value to '01' and '02' , u can also proceed by this way:

wd_context->set_attribute( name = '<attribute name>' value = if_wdl_core=>visibility_visible )." to make it visible.

wd_context->set_attribute( name = '<attribute name>' value = if_wdl_core=>visibility_none ). "to make it invisible

I hope it shud help

rgds,
