Cursor Positioning in Screen Painter

You can force PBO from your POV Module by coding:

set screen 100. <==your screen number

leave screen.

I tried this in 4.6C and it invoked PBO.

Make sure the value retrieved from your help is properly tranported back to the screen.

Let us know how it goes.

I believe you are correct that your Process on Value (POV) request does not invoke PBO. I tried a brief test in 4.6C to use SET CURSOR in POV but it ignored me.

It sounds like your input field is defined as scrollable. If you make its visible size match its internal size and turn off the scrollable feature, maybe you will like it better.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Prasad

You can use the "<b>OFFSET</b>" addition of the "SET CURSOR" statement. Pass 1 to <off> .

SET CURSOR FIELD <f> [OFFSET <off>].

If the scrollable feature is turned off then it would not solve my purpose. I don't see it as a work around.

The OFFSET method cannot be used as the PBO is not invoked after the POV.

Any other suggestions ABAP experts ?

Thanks

Hi,

You can call method cl_gui_cfw=>set_new_ok_code with new_code = space at the end of your POV module coding. It triggers PAI for the screen and then the cursor is set to the correct position usinf SET CURSOR OFFSET.

Dear Suekrue Birakoglu

Nopes. It did not invoke the PAI at all.

I thought, it was good idea.

Do you have any other alternative / solution ?

Thanks

Isn't this a GUI Option? Under the local GUI options, on tab CURSOR, see if you have checked box 'Position cursor at end of text'.

Apologise for the late reply. I was on vacation.

Well, i am afraid to say,

1. Setting the Local Gui Options did not work. Same problem.

2. SET SCREEN 'xyz' and leave screen is not a feasible solution because SCREEN xyz is a modal dialog window and it must appear in a restricted area.( as per my requirement).

The screen is invoked using a CALL SCREEN 'xyz' starting at ... ending at ..

However, with the SET SCREEN approach, I get the window to cover the whole screen which is not desirable.

Any work around for this ?

Thanks

Prasad

Hi Charles

Thanks. Pleasure to work with you too.

I am sorry. I have rewarded the points today.

Thanks
