Editable table alternating color

[PradeepBondla]

Hi frnz,

I know how to make the table with alternating color, by changing the table UI properties, design as alternating and readonly as true.

But I need readonly==false and should get the alternating color.

I am getting my data from <b>model directly to the table</b>, which has a check box per row, I need to use that check box and fetch the data. If I make readonly==true then I could not able to do that.

Please help me out how could I achieve <u>Editable table with alternating colors.</u>

Hi Pradeep,

If table is not readonly, u can't make use of standard alternating color property.

Instead u can go for standard table column colors.

In table node, create a variable(say tableDesign) of type TableCellDesign( u can select this type from uielementdefinitions).

For all table columns, bind CellDesign property to this variable.

At the time of creation of table rows, u can create alternate color for rows by

IPrivate<ViewName>View.ITableNode rNode=wdContext.nodeTable();

IPrivate<ViewName>View.ITableElement rEl;

for(int i=0;i<5;i++)

{

rEl=rNode.createTableElement();

rNode.addElement(rEl);

if(i%2==0)

{

rEl.setTableDesign(WDTableCellDesign.GROUP_LEVEL2);

}

else

{

rEl.setTableDesign(WDTableCellDesign.GROUP_LEVEL3);

}

}

Thanks for the response...

But In my case, table node is model node where I am getting data directly from the Bapi. I think (not sure) its not recommonded to add a attribute to bapi(model) node. What do u say?

Yes.

To overcome this, create a value node with same variable in model and the celldesign variable. Here, u can do whatever customizations u want.After calling RFC, copy the values from model node to this value node and add the elements with the condition I mentioned

Thanks Hamsa....

I will try it and give reward points to you. (our server is down here now).

Hi,

It does not matter if your table node is Model / Value.

You can create a value attribute (TableCellDesign) of type TableCellDesign under the Model Table Node in your View context and map this to the cellDesign property of the table columns.

In your view context

for(int i=0;i<wdContext.nodeTableNode.size();i++)

{

if(i%2==0)

{

IPrivate<your view>.INodeElement ele = wdContext.nodeTableNode.getTableNodeElementAt(i);

ele.setTableCellDesign(WDTableCellDesign.GOODVALUE_DARK);

}

else

{

IPrivate<your view>.INodeElement ele = wdContext.nodeTableNode.getTableNodeElementAt(i);

ele.setTableCellDesign(WDTableCellDesign.GOODVALUE_LIGHT);

}

}

This has worked for me with Model Node.

Hi Hamsa,

Its working if the table node is custom node. My table node is a Bapi(model) node, As you said I added one value node (vnCellDesign) and one value attribute under this value node(vaCellDesign). But when I execute it Indexoutofbound execption is coming. its saying index=0.

I changed the node cardinality to 1..n and also tried with 1..1 but no use still same error is coming.

What might be the problem????

advance thanks

Hi Pradeep,

Hi Pradeep,

Check all steps

1.Create a value node (0..N cardinality). Let it's name be vnCellDesign

2. Create column variables(Say Name, Age) and CellDesignVariable( Say vaCellDesign of type TableCell Design) under vnCellDesign.

3.Bind the variable to table. Bind vaCellDesign to all Column's cellDesign property)

4.Execute master RFC

5.Get values from RFC to TableNode by the following code

IPrivate<ViewName>View.IvnCellDesignNode rNode=wdContext.nodevnCellDesign();

IPrivate<ViewName>View.IvnCellDesignElement rEl;

IPrivate<ViewName>View.I<MasterRFC>Node masterNode=wdContext.node<MasterRFC>();

IPrivate<ViewName>View.I<MasterRFC>Element masterEl;

for(int i=0;i<masterNode.size();i++)

{

msterEl=masterNode.get<MasterRFC>ElementAt(i);

String name=masterEl.getName();//GETTING VALUES FROM RFC

String age=masterEl.getAge();//GETTING VALUES FROM RFC

rEl=rNode.createvnCellDesignElement();

rNode.addElement(rEl);

rEl.setName(name);//SETTING VALUES TO TABLE

rEl.setAge(age);//SETTING VALUES TO TABLE

if(i%2==0)

{

rEl.setvnCellDesign(WDTableCellDesign.GROUP_LEVEL2);//SETTING COLOR TO TABLE ROWS

}

else

{

rEl.setvnCellDesign(WDTableCellDesign.GROUP_LEVEL3);//SETTING COLOR TO TABLE ROWS

}

}

This should work

Hi Hamsa,

Is it not possible if I directly bind my table to model node? Is it compulsury to transfer data from model node to custom node and then creating a value node/attribute in custom node then getting the colors?

I want to map table directly to the model node. So now its not possible to get the colors by creating a value node/attirbute in model node?

Thanks in advance

HI Pradeep,

It's possible. But creating seperate node will be more neat and maintainable

and it is a one time effort.

Consider the case, if there is some structure change in RFC.

There u have to create these kind of extra attributes again.

Also, if the model class has a dictionary structure binding, u cant directly

add valueattributes to node. In that case, u have to create an attribute

inside a customnode under the model node. Then complexity will increase.

It's up to u to select the method. But creating attributes inside model node is not preferred, eventhough it is possible
