value set for a context attribute?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using the default filter option available in the table control. I have an event handler for the filter event and i have assigned the 'Filter value' property of a column to a context attribute.

Now, i want a drop down box instead of the input field (for filtering the columnn). According to the documentation, if the context element has a value set assigned to it, then a drop down box appears by default.

I have a list of possible values which has to appear in the drop down. How can i set the value set for the context element?

Regards,

Ram

P.S. This question has also been raised by me as a seperate thread with title as 'drop down box control as a table filter'. It would be fine to post the responses in any one of these topics as i'm monitoring both. thanks.!

Hi Ramalingam,

for that particular context element when it has the value range in the DDIC then, no need to write any code just change to dropdown , it will automatically takes the values from value range and display it as a drop down.

In the table layout - properties bind the selected key with dropdown field and in wddoinit method write the code as

dbtag_key_item-key = '01'.

dbtag_key_item-value = 'Industry'

insert dbtag_key_item into table lt_dbtag_set.

...

..

at last get the node and set the node values

like lv_node_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'VALUE' value_set = lt_dbtag_set ).
