Check box in ALV Header for selection

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm working on ALV in ABAP web dynpro. We have a requirement to check some rows and based on the selection a FM should be executed.

I've used checkbox in the column for selection. Is there anyway to use a check box (or any element) in the column header and use that to select all.

I checked the ALV column header class documentation but didnt find anything that allows UI elements in header.

Any workaround to tackle this?

Thank you,

Vasu

You can not place custom UI elements into the header. Just Icons and Text.

You will have to build something into the toolbar instead.
