ALV column displays either button or text ?

[christian_taut]

Dear collegues,

I want to display one column in an ALV table that either displays a button (with a text on it) or displays a text (without button). The decision what of these 2 possibilites is shown should be controlled by the runtime data (eg. the WD context).

PS: I know how to display one ALV column with only buttons or one ALV column with only text.

Hi Suman Kumar,

thanks again. It looks fine.

My last 2 question would be:

a) Is the command l_cv->set_key( 'TEXT_VIEW' ) still correct to display the icon ?

b) What I fill into the new context field 'CELL_VARIANT' while runtime ? Should it filled with u201CTEXT_VIEWu201D to display the icon

and with u201C u201C to display the button ?

Hi Christian,

a) Is the command l_cv->set_key( 'TEXT_VIEW' ) still correct to display the icon ?

yes there is a no show stopper to display icon.since TEXT_VIEW is a string value to populate text/check box conditionally.

b) What I fill into the new context field 'CELL_VARIANT' while runtime ? Should it filled with u201CTEXT_VIEWu201D to display the iconand with u201C u201C to display the button ?

you can give either button or icon to cell_variant.Follow my code as it is .you will get the output.

Hallo Saman Kumar,

I understand your document that describes how to have either a button or a text in the same column.

But my second problem is: I want to have either a button or an ICON in the same column.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Yes you can use my logic to achieve your requirement.

check this code below.

DATA button1 TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_WD_UIE_BUTTON.

DATA l_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.

l_column = l_table->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'CARRID' ).

CREATE OBJECT button1

EXPORTING

value_fieldname = 'CARRID'.

l_column->set_cell_editor( input1 ).

DATA image1 TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_WD_UIE_IMAGE.

CREATE OBJECT image1

EXPORTING

value_fieldname = 'CARRID'.

image1->set_source("image").

DATA l_cv TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_cv_standard.

CREATE OBJECT l_cv.

l_cv->set_key( 'TEXT_VIEW' ).

l_cv->set_editor( image1 ).

l_column->add_cell_variant( l_cv ).

l_column->set_sel_cell_variant_fieldname( 'CELL_VARIANT' ).

Thank you for your answers:

I have another related problem: Display either a button or an icon in the same ALV column. Can I do this with the same logic (from Suman Kumar Chinnam) ?

If yes, how to tell the cell variant that it should display not a text but a icon ?

Hi Christian,

It is very simple to make a column with either button or text.

Depend on the condition you want either button or text am i right? if it is so then populate your cell_editor with either button or text thats all your column will be either button or text.

Hi christain,

Please refer this article written by me.

In that i made one cell is with chebox and the other is with text.You can use same logic to place button instead of checkbox from my article.
