Hello Aslam,

Thank you very much for your reply. Here I am not using ALV FIELD CATALOG MERGE to display output.

I am using ALV table ( CL_SALV_WD_CONFIG_TABLE, CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN) to display the output.

Is it possible here to change the font here?

Hi,

Please try the following

DATA: i_dataTYPE STANDARD TABLE OF sflight. Internal table for field catalog info

DATA: i_fields TYPE lvc_t_fcat.

SELECT * FROM sflight INTO TABLE i_data.

CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'

EXPORTING

i_structure_name = 'SFLIGHT'

CHANGING

ct_fieldcat = i_fields

EXCEPTIONS

inconsistent_interface = 1

program_error = 2

OTHERS = 3

.

IF sy-subrc = 0

LOOP AT i_fields ASSIGNING <wa_fields>.

IF sy-tabix > 4.

<wa_fields>-style = ALV_STYLE_FONT_ITALIC.

ELSE.

<wa_fields>-style = ALV_STYLE_FONT_BOLD.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

Hi Aslam,

I am using SALV_WD_TABLE to display the output. I am able to change the color for the columns.

But I want to change the FONT for few rows. Is this possible?

I believe as you have found 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE' would only work with the classic dynpro (SAPGUI based) version of the ALV.

You won't be able to control the font the same way in the WDA version of the ALV. You will need to create a custom cell editor for the column(s) in question. You can then bind context attributes to the properties of the cell editor. You will need extra attributes in your bound context to control these settings on the row level. Also you will be restricted by the changing the DESIGN property. This means only the values allowed for the DESIGN of the particluar UI element. For a TextView that wouldn't be the font directly (the font of course comes from the Theme).

DATA l_salv_wd_table TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table.
  l_salv_wd_table = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv_adv( ).
  DATA l_table TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table.
  l_table = l_salv_wd_table->get_model( ).

  data textview type ref to CL_SALV_WD_UIE_TEXT_VIEW.
  l_column = l_table->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'ADD_PARTICIPANTS' ).
  create object textview.
  textview->SET_TEXT_FIELDNAME( 'ADD_PARTICIPANTS' ).
  textview->set_design_fieldname( 'ADD_DESIGN' ).
  textview->set_wrapping( abap_true ).
  l_column->set_cell_editor( textview ).

DESIGN supports the following options:

Value

Visual Display

Description

emphasized

Text is highlighted in default size

groupTitle

Header for forms

This enumeration value is deprecated. Instead, use SectionHeader.

header1

Text is highlighted with font size +4 in relation to the default font size.

header2

Text is highlighted with font size +5.08 cm relation to the default font size.

header3

Text is highlighted in default size

header4

Text is highlighted in font size -1 (small) in relation to the default font size (like the legend but highlighted)

label

Text is display in the default font type. A space is always inserted after the text.

label_small

Text is displayed in default font type, as with label, onyl that font size is -1 (like the font size for header4).

legend

Text is displayed with default font type in size -1.

reference

Text is in italics and in default font size.

standard

Text is displayed in default font size. No text attributes are defined for this value.

monospace

Text is displayed in no-proportional font type. Each letter takes up the same space.

Hello Thomas,

Thank you very much for your reply. It really helped in changing the FONT size of the text.

I also want to change the BACKGROUND colour for few columns in ALV table. Is it possible?

If so.. then please do the needful.

What exactly does this have to do with the Web Dynpro ABAP ALV?

>I also want to change the BACKGROUND colour for few columns

Have you tried SET_SEMANTIC_COLOR_FIELDNAME? That's not exactly background color - but text color instead.

Hi Thomas,

I checked it thomas. I used set_cell_design method to change the background of the column.

Thank You very much for your reply.
