Buttons in ALVs

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I'm using buttons in ALVs. Until now I used entries from a collumn for labeling my buttons. Additionally I used a static icon.

lr_ui_button->set_text_fieldname( 'COLUMN_1' ).

lr_ui_button->set_image_source( 'ICON_SELECT_DETAIL' ).

That worked fine, but now I need to use a static text for my button-label, too. Therefore I must say, that I don't want to use another column with an constant value and I don't want to change the values of my COLUMN_1.

I tried

lr_ui_button->set_text( 'My Labelname' ).

instead of

lr_ui_button->set_text_fieldname( 'COLUMN_1' ).

but only got this error, which seems to occur deep in the generated SAP-code

Attribut SALV_WD_COL_VSBL_00007 could not be found.

(Attribut SALV_WD_COL_VSBL_00007 konnte nicht gefunden werden.)

My guess is, that the button needs the method set_text_fieldname() as a requiered binding, similar to other Elements, which need certain bindings to context elements.

So, I tried

lr_ui_button->set_text_fieldname( 'COLUMN_1' ).

lr_ui_button->set_text( 'My Labelname' ).

The program was runable, but the set_text() had no real effect. So, I'm running out of ideas now and would apreciate some help .

Hi,

Create a new button in tool bar of alv.Following code works

Hi Sridevi,

to say it again, I dont' need buttons in my toolbar. I need buttons in the content area of my ALV.

If you have used set_text_fieldname( 'COLUMN_1' ), then have you done a set_attribute of the attribute column_1 to whatever value you wish to display? Also, the field column_1 has to be in the same context node as your ALV data. Then the value that is bound to the context attribute column_1 will be displayed in the button at runtime.

This will anyway work without the set_text_fieldname method, by just using set_text statically.

Hi Nithya,

Until now, I had a context node TABLE1 with an attribute COLUMN1. TABLE1 has a cardinality of 0...n and COLUMN1 is of type string with the default value "report". TABLE1 is also bound to my ALV data.

With set_text_fieldname() I bound the text of my button to COLUMN1. So, "report" is shown on every button in my ALV columns.

But now, I don't want this binding anymore. I want COLUMN1 to contain other data, e.g. booleans which I can bind to the visibility of my buttons. But I also need a text on my buttons. Therefore I tried set_text() but it does not work.

Hi Torsten,

I tried the following and it works fine for me:

data: lr_button type ref to cl_wd_salv_uie_button.

create object lr_button.

lr_button->set_text( 'Text' ).

ls_col-r_column->set_cell_editor( lr_button ).

Here ls_col is the particular column of type SALV_WD_S_COLUMN_REF. I did not face any issue, and the static text was set for all the buttons in the entire column.

Hi Nithya,

this is really strange. If I try it without the set_text_fieldname(), I always get this exception:

Folgender Fehlertext wurde im System "ourServer" prozessiert: Attribut SALV_WD_COL_VSBL_00008 konnte nicht gefunden werden.

Der Fehler trat auf dem Applikationsserver "ourServer" und im Workprozess 0 auf.

Die Abbruchart war: RABAX_STATE

Die ABAP-Aufrufhierarchie war:

Method: IF_WD_CONTEXT_ELEMENT~GET_ATTRIBUTE of program CL_WDR_CONTEXT_ELEMENT========CP

That means, he cant find the attribute SALV_WD_COL_VSBL_00008. And I guess it's the node_info element, where the programm fumbles, but I have no idea why or where I have done something wrong. I never touched the node_info. This is my code at that point:

DATA:

lr_column_button TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column,

lr_ui_button TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_button.

lr_column_button = l_value->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'DETAILS' ).

CREATE OBJECT lr_ui_button.

lr_ui_button->set_text_fieldname( 'DETAILS' ).

lr_ui_button->set_image_source( 'ICON_SELECT_DETAIL' ).

lr_column_button->set_cell_editor( lr_ui_button ).

Hi Torsten,

I have tried the exact code you have given and still it works fine for me. It could be an issue because of the SP you are in, but I am unable to provide you accurate help on that front. Can you paste the entire code in this method where you configure the ALV?

Hi Torsten

I used the following code to write the text on ALV button.

data: lr_user_funcopy type ref to cl_salv_wd_function.

lr_user_funcopy = l_value->if_salv_wd_function_settings~create_function_right( id = 'COPYA' ).

• The function is a button

data: lr_disp_button type ref to cl_salv_wd_fe_button.

lv_button_text type string.

create object lr_disp_button.

lv_button_text = 'Display'.

lr_disp_button->set_text( lv_button_text ).

lr_disp_button->SET_IMAGE_SOURCE( 'ICON_DISPLAY' ).

lr_user_funcopy->set_editor( lr_disp_button ).

Hi Naresh,

I need a column with buttons, all with the same text on it. What you describe is a button for the ALV Toolbar. The cl_salv_wd_fe_button does not implement the interface IF_SALV_WD_TABLE_CELL_EDITOR. That interface I need for lr_column_button->set_cell_editor().

Torsten
