Get selected function in a context menu with cl_gui_alv_grid

Hi there

Thanks for the tip

I've used this as well

In my toolbar i now have

move 0 to ls_toolbar-butn_type.
    move 'TEST' to ls_toolbar-function.
    move space to ls_toolbar-disabled.
    move icon_execute_object to ls_toolbar-icon.
     move 'Get Cell' to ls_toolbar-quickinfo.
     move  'CELL' to ls_toolbar-text.

    append ls_toolbar to e_object->mt_toolbar.
    clear ls_toolbar.

In the on_user_command

 when 'TEST'.
        call method me->get_cell.

In my get_cell method

method get_cell.
break-point 1.
call method grid1->get_current_cell
importing
e_row     = ls_row
e_value   = ls_value
e_col     = ls_col
es_row_id = ls_row_id
es_col_id = ls_col_id
es_row_no = ls_row_no.
* pass back parameters to a routine in the calling program
perform handle_cell in program (caller)  if found
 using
 * ====> parmeters from the method 
endmethod.

I can then do whatever I want with the data .

What I usually do here is to add the following code to my calling application

Form handle_cell 
    using   parameters from method

do whatever the application needs

endform.

This will also work if I select multiple rows / columns / both (using a similar method).

In my ALV handling class I usually make the calling program a parmeter as it's often IMO easier to retrieve the data via the method and then process it in the application program -- makes the class more generic as well.

In my application program the current Grid table is alwys available as a dynamic table <dyn_table> so I can use / manipulate the data directly if required.

Thanks for your tip of using the ON User Command for handling cell selection.

Cheers
