hi,

Do u mean that you are dynamically assigning search help based on the value selected in the dropdown?

Like for AB you use the custom search help

and for ZB you use the standard one?

Thanks,

Aditya.

Hi ,

Please post the code of dynamic assignment and also which method are you doing this?

In the 'On select' event handler of dropdown?

Thanks,

Aditya.

this i am using in CREATE method.transaction code ie02(warrenty and partner tab)

Onselect:

loop at lt_bapi_partners into ls_bapi_partners.

read table lt_bapi_partners into ls_bapi_partners index lv_index.

if ls_bapi_partners-PARVW = 'AG' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'DEBI'.

elseif ls_bapi_partners-PARVW = 'AB' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'ZAB'.

elseif ls_bapi_partners-PARVW = 'WE' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'DEBI'.

elseif ls_bapi_partners-PARVW = 'LF' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'KRED'.

elseif ls_bapi_partners-PARVW = 'ZB' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'ZZB'.

endif.

endloop.

HI.

I guess I got the problem.You are looping though all the elements and assigning the search help based value selected.

Instead use the paramaters provided by the event handler for this.

On select event provides you 3 paramaters,.ID , Context_element and Key.

here Context_element holds the reference to the element which triggered the event.

Try somthing like this.

DATA : lv_value TYPE string.
CONTEXT_ELEMENT->get_attribute(EXPORTING  
                                                         NAME = 'PARVW'
                                                         IMPORTING
                                                         Value = lv_value).

Then based on value in lv_value dynamically assign the search help.

The paramater Context_element is not available by default.

Add it as an Importing paramater in the event handler of type IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT.

The following is the help link for dropdown events.

Thanks aditya....but with this code also same prob is coming...any idea.its not updating.

Hi ,

I dont see any problem with this method.

Please post the updated code..With the changes i told you..

Thanks,

Aditya.

Below is the updated code:

DATA : lv_value TYPE string.

CONTEXT_ELEMENT->get_attribute( EXPORTING

NAME = 'PARVW'

IMPORTING

Value = lv_value ).

data: lv_index type sy-tabix.

read table lt_bapi_partners into ls_bapi_partners index lv_index.

if lv_value = 'AG' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'DEBI'.

elseif lv_value = 'AB' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'ZAB'.

elseif lv_value = 'WE' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'DEBI'. " DEBI(c) KRED(v)

elseif lv_value = 'LF' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'KRED'. " DEBI(c) KRED(v)

elseif lv_value = 'ZB' .

CALL METHOD node_info->set_attribute_value_help

EXPORTING

name = 'PARNR'

value_help_mode = '121'

value_help = 'ZZB'.

endif.

Hi Kiran,

I guess what you are trying to achieve is not feasible.

What happens is ..When you select 'AB' in row1 of dropdown, the value help will be say 'XXX'.

Now when you will go to row 2 and select the 'ZA' in dropdown..value help will be 'YYY'.

Now if you come back to row1 and press F4 on input field , value help 'YYY' will be displayed coz the attribute in question is same.

If you want the search help to be changed , you will have to re-select the value in dropdown ..so that your 'Onselect' event is triggerd and proper search help is assigned.

I hope i am clear here..

Thanks,

Aditya.

Thanks Aditya...exactly...so you mean to say that there is no other way to resolve it.

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

Hi ,

As per my learnings, This is not possible..

Lets wait for some more experts to look in..

May be there is some workaround..But I am not aware..

Thanks,

Aditya

Hi Kiran,

I agree with Aditya. In a table, it is not possible to assign 2 search helps at a time to a single attribute because search help assignment is at node level, not at element level. So, at a time it is possible to assign one Search help only.

One work around is, you can write the Search help assignment code in MODIFY method, based on the lead selection. This avoides selecting the drop-down many times. So, whenever user want to view the search help, he need to select that particular row also.

But, one disadvantage of using MODIFY method is it gets called many times.

Thanks all....Okay...i am trying with this also...hope will work.

[Former Member]

Hi Kiran ,

You can also put your code for search help in on_lead_select event, so when the lead select changes the search code will again execute and you will get the desired search help.

Hi ,

1.) Please explain clearly.Not able to understand the problem.

2.) Increase the width of the table column so that expanding is removed.

Thanks,

Aditya.

[Former Member]

Thanks Aditya....second one solved...let me elaborate second one:

Say i have 2 dropdown values and corresponding to selection i have a search help in another colomn.

if i select AB as dd selection corresponding search help appears then in second row i select ZB as dd selection corresponding

search help comes but i will go to previous one then for AB it shows the same ZB search help....means it overwriting...i hope u understood my prob.

[Former Member]
