dropdown list with icons

[Former Member]

Hello, I have a dropdown list with text but I would like to change it with icons. The problem is that I use ALV_GRID . I do it with the example BCALV_EDIT_06.

Have anybody an idea, please?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

The table fields you are displaying as a dropdown list, please make sure it should be of character of lenght 6.

for e.g

check_result(6) TYPE c ,

add this to your declaration:

TYPE-POOLS: icon ,

and pass the icon name to the required fields.

MOVE: icon_red_light TO wa_final-check_result .

Note: you can get this values from type-pool: ICON.

Hi I tried your advice and it doesn't work because the programm give the ASCII caracters of the icon.

For example : when the icon is ICON_WS_START_WHSE_PROC_BACKGR in my screen go out '@02@' and I can't see the picture.

Thanks anyway.

Hi Ana,

You can use this sample.

REPORT ALV_LIGHTS.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_alv,

lights(1) TYPE c, "Exception, Holding the value of the lights

text(20) TYPE c, "some text

END OF ty_alv.

DATA: gs_alv TYPE ty_alv,

gt_alv TYPE TABLE OF ty_alv,

gr_alv TYPE REF TO cl_salv_table,

gr_columns TYPE REF TO cl_salv_columns_table.

START-OF-SELECTION.

gs_alv-lights = '1'. "Color red

gs_alv-text = 'RED SIGNAL'.

APPEND gs_alv TO gt_alv.

gs_alv-lights = '2'. "Color yellow

gs_alv-text = 'YELLOW SIGNAL'.

APPEND gs_alv TO gt_alv.

gs_alv-lights = '3'. "Color green

gs_alv-text = 'GREEN SIGNAL'.

APPEND gs_alv TO gt_alv.

CALL METHOD cl_salv_table=>factory

IMPORTING

r_salv_table = gr_alv

CHANGING

t_table = gt_alv.

gr_columns = gr_alv->get_columns( ).

gr_columns->set_exception_column( value = 'LIGHTS' ).

CALL METHOD gr_alv->display.

Reward if Useful.

Ana,

I guess you are getting '@02@' value in a list.

Then you just have to set the ICON property true of that fields to "Output as icon".

Do like this.:

in the loop of field catelog table

if ls_fcat-fieldname eq "whatever the name of field"

ls_fcat-icon = 'X'.

modify pt_fieldcat from ls_fcat.

endif.

Thanks,

Rohit
