Set Column Header text to bold or highlight for ALV

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I would like to know how i could highlight or bold the text of column header for ALV. I tried using

lo_column_header->set_prop_ddic_binding_field(

property = if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>bind_prop_text

value = if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>ddic_bind_title ).

(and)

CALL METHOD lo_column_header->set_ddic_binding_field

EXPORTING

value = if_salv_wd_c_ddic_binding=>ddic_bind_title.

But it still doesn't help.

Is there some other method to do this?

It is not possible to have header text as bold. Hence, closing this message

Hi,

The above code will work for setting the header tect. It has nothing to do with the emphasizisng the text.

For that column there is a cell design feature(cl_salv_wd_column->set_cell_design) use this method...to emphasize the text..

But it will apply for entire column inaddtiion to header and also as the columns is of text view(cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view) get the cell editor for this and using this cell editor reference use the SET_DESIGN(for cell design). also check the other methods in this text view class.

Hi Lekha,

Set_cell_design method is used to set the background for the entire column right? Is there a cell design constant for highlighting the text or for setting the text to bold? I was unable to find it.

Could you let me know about it?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

Check the cl_salv_wd_column(cell design) and cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view( this has both background and text color) methods.

check CL_WD_TABLE_COLUMN(attributes-e_cell_deisgn) here you can find the option.

Hi Lekha,

I have checked all the constants of E_CELL_DESIGN structure and it just changes the background color.

I cannot use cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view as the cells of ALV columns are editable.

I am binding input field for ALV cells to make it editable. I don't find any relevant method in CL_SALV_WD_UIE_INPUT_FIELD too to set the text to bold.

In case you happen to find any constant or method to do this, let me know.

Hi,

Yes, there is no option to do that...Try to highlight the CELL using the CELDEISGN option rather highlighting the Text..

This can be possible...
