text wrapping in table

[Former Member]

Hi,

i have a table and i want a column to have text wrapping.i am not able to make the column as text edit.I dont want it to be text view as i want that column to be editable.

Any ideas anyone?

You cannot set the cell editor to text edit unfortunately. You can get all possible cell editors by going to SE24 and do F4 on Object type CL_SALV_WD_UIE*

A solution to your problem would be displaying the text as textview (and use the method SET_WRAPPING to wrap or in case of a normal table mark the wrapping boolean) and add a button which popups a text editor. Of course this will need some programming efforts (creating new view and plugs, fetching selected column, linking context etc.).

I hope this will point you in the right direction.

With kind regards,

hi,

but this is not the desired behaviour..hence i will stick with inputfield itself i guess

increasing the length will not cause wrapping to happen.I want WRAPPING to happen when the text exceeds the limit.In my scenario it is of 255 length.

Input field is only for single line text. You cannot have wrapping in it. Why aren't you able to set the editor as text edit?

coz on selecting the text editor ...it causes a dump in the abap webdyn pro screen

Hi Rahul,

Use input field and increase the length of the field.

Thanks
