Hi Runali,

You can achieve the same in ALV by setting the cell_design property of an ALV column. It would be as follows:

lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( ID = id ).

lr_column->set_cell_design( <design> ).

Look into the class cl_salv_wd_column for the enumeration and see the possible values cell_design can take. Each value corresponds to a color. You can set the color of your choice.

Then have a field cell_design in your context. And instead of calling set_cell_design, you should just say

lr_column->set_cell_design_fieldname( 'CELL_DESIGN' ).

In ALV, for every property, a method set_<property>_fieldname is available to bind the proerty to a context attribute. When you initialise your ALV settings, set this attribute and it will be bound to the cell design.

The attribute cell_design should be in the same context node that you bind to the ALV. You can make the column with column ID cell_design as invisible. This way you can set the colors even at an individual cell level. In your internal table, if you wish, you can set a particular color for a set of values etc.

Hope this helps you solve your problem.

Hi Runali,

This is possible only if your cell editor is a button or link. Otherwise, simply clicking on the cell does not mean 'selection' and it will not be set.
