Cell Selection in ALV

We have the requirement to provide the ability to select a single cell or multiple cells and then link to another screen (popup) webdynpro. Basically I am using the Linktoaction editor type for the cell now but that just provides a single selection.

Does anyone know or have an idea how to set up multiple cell selection?

Basically the user would like to select a number of cells in the same manner as you can from Excel. I have an idea of how to work around using the Link to action but it is not pretty.

Also, since we are on the topic of ALV, can you set up the ALV to use a scroll bar instead of the buttons for going up and down the list. This has actually been tagged as a high requirement for the users.

Is it me, or has the Webdynpro ALV lost functionality over what the GUI ALV had? The application we are building is very much geared on functionality and using the ALV but I seem to be getting stymied in a lot of areas with the WebDynpro version.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah SAPGUI ALV is better. Much of that is since SAPGUI is better than a browser.

A Purpose built client.

On the multiple select front, there are a couple of cell_editors that could play this role.

Toggle button or Check box.

The toggle button is of interest here, since it can display text and behave as a checkbox

at the same time.

Cheers

WDA ALV are not yet so powerful as those in SAPgui.

I hope that the planned Flex Client (you can find a preview in the eLearning material) you'll improve ALV features.

Also about multiple cell selection I see no standard way to perform the action. So you should implement something like marking a block (TOP-LEFT - BOTTOM-RIGHT).

Maybe you can experiment the Office Controls (MS Excel integration)...
