set cursor in wd table control?

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

is there any possibilty to set the Cursor to a specific field in my table control within my webdynpro application?

My idea is: if a user fills in the fields in a line of the table control, to check if all fields, which have to be filled, are filled. and if not, to jump to the first field where something is missing. I want that the Cursor is set in this field, so the user can immediatelly start to fill the field without first clicking in that field.

I hope you understand what my idea is?

I tried already the command:

SET CURSOR FIELD lv_column LINE lv_index.

lv_column = 'TABLE-TABLE_MATNR'
lv_index = 1. 

TABLE is the Name of my Table-Control and TABLE_MATNR is the Name of the column like it is named in the layout Editor.

i think the code is working, but the Cursor isn't blinking in the field.

What am i doing wrong? Or is it even another code that has to be used?

Hope for your help!

best regards,

Mathias

Hi Mathias,

GUI commands like SET CURSOR FIELD won't work in WDA. Instead you can set focus on a particular view field with method IF_WD_VIEW_CONTROLLER->REQUEST_FOCUS or you can issue an error message with one of the IF_WD_MESSAGE_MANAGER->REPORT_ATTRIBUTE* methods which automatically provide focus to the indicated view field.

Good Morning,

thanks for your help!

i decided to use  IF_WD_MESSAGE_MANAGER->REPORT_ATTRIBUTE* methods, but i think the other ways i will try in some other cases!

Hi Mathias,

    You can try using mandatory filed check using the class 'CL_WD_DYNAMIC_TOOL-'

and can have your mandatory field chack context level & view level.  This will also

highlight the field if a mandatory field was left blank.
