Setting time out.

[Former Member]

hi experts,

I am have a selection screen which generates a basic list and i need to let this list available for the user for 3 mins.

if the time expires i need to go back to the selection screen.

how could i program this. i guess there might be any func module.but i dont know the name.

pls help.

Please implement the following program, you can see that it uses the class CL_GUI_TIMER to automatically leave the list after 10 seconds, you can adjust the timeout to whatever you want.

report zrich_0002.

*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*       CLASS lcl_event_handler DEFINITION
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
class lcl_event_handler definition.

  public section.

    class-methods: on_finished for event finished of lcl_gui_timer.

endclass.

*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*       CLASS lcl_event_handler IMPLEMENTATION
*---------------------------------------------------------------------*
class lcl_event_handler implementation.

  method on_finished.

    leave list-processing.

  endmethod.

endclass.

data: gui_timer type ref to cl_gui_timer.
data: event_handler type ref to lcl_event_handler.
data: timeout type i value '10'.    "<--  In Seconds

parameters : p_check type c.


start-of-selection.

  create object gui_timer.

  set handler event_handler->on_finished for gui_timer.

  gui_timer->interval = timeout.
  call method gui_timer->run.

  perform write_list.


*----------------------------------------------------
* FORM  write_list
*----------------------------------------------------
form write_list.

  do 10 times.
    write:/ sy-index.
  enddo.

endform.

hi riich,

your solution almost solved my problem, but I need one more help.

I need to exit list only if the user is idle for some time

how can i read that the user is idle and how to do this.

thanks.

Not sure how you would handle this, my example above was only for your original question.
